[There's lots of things he could be doing besides following Light around, like experimenting with being human. But the promise of future entertainment was one he just couldn't ignore. Light had proved interesting for years.
Possibly there would be years yet, with both Light and L living again, nobody able to bring anyone to justice, no Death Notes to be had, only vindictive natures and monsterish bloody instincts!
... Honestly he wasn't sure that last part would be as diverting to watch but time would tell.]

[He seems genuinely curious. Human nature was often a puzzle, but he figured they'd trust what they already had, not rumors of some malevolent thing on some other world nobody could even prove anymore.
Those thoughts evaporate neatly a moment later, his steady footsteps coming to a sudden stop, the silence perhaps telling before veerryy slowly they pick back up.]
I dunno. What's hunger feel like?
[Apples! He wasn't sure it was really an addiction any more the way it used to be, withdrawal and all, but he could almost taste the syrupy sweetness just thinking about them.]
How 'bout this. I'll tell you ... when the time seems right. Doesn't seem right, just out in the street like this! Specially if you're worried 'bout eavesdropping.
[Except now his focus is a little shifted, scanning the nearby windows and shops for any trace of delicious red round shapes.]
