[He's really not reasonable right now. In fact, the only thing keeping him here and not destroying his surroundings is her power. Maybe it is a tantrum, or maybe it is more of a meltdown from feeling overwhelmed and unsafe, too exposed and then asking something of him on top of that- he's not in the right mindset for discussion.]
No, you see reason! I'm not a charity worker, I'm not a worker at all! If calamity should befall this realm, so be it, it isn't my responsibility to prevent it!
[He certainly doesn't intend to do anything "out of the goodness of his heart". He's the Demon King! He doesn't have goodness in his heart(he would say, anyway)!
He growls, looking around, debating on an exit strategy. If he's mean enough and then bounces, surely she will not call him back or follow, right?]
Just because you feel obligated to nurse a broken world back to health doesn't mean I will, and it won't heal your own wounds either! But who cares? Run off and save everyone if you want, just leave me out of it!
[That should do it! He turns with a huff, then trying to just power walk away from her. He needs space, and he needs solitude.]
