Breathing a sigh of relief, Kaal patted Ikra one more time on the head before the two separated. It seemed as though he'd be unable to refuse the woman's company just as he had predicted, and to be perfectly frank, the fair haired familiar didn't really want to anyways.
Somewhat surprised as Ikra's ability to have bounced back so quickly, even though he likely shouldn't have been in the first place, Kaal got back to his feet- taking her hand and returning to his standing posture before looking back at Steven and giving him a nod of great appreciation. He never knew the day would come that a poor man would make a better wing man than some of the upper class military nobility he had rubbed shoulders with in the past, and yet, here they were.
Unwilling to let the man go without having properly thanked him, Kaal quickly made his way back toward Steven for a few moments, pulling out from within his back pocket a sizable pouch of Beri. Setting it into his hands, and folding his fingers over the gift, the former marine nodded one more time to Steven, mouthing a small 'thank you' before catching back up to where Ikra now stood.
Raising his eyebrows, Kaal offered his arm to Ikra once more, waiting for her to take it before going back promptly to where they had left off, guiding the two toward the middlemost part of the city as he said in a tone of greatly reinvigorated interest, "As I said earlier, I greatly appreciate your intervention back there- however, I must say I wasn't expecting you to be a Devil Fruit user. Nonetheless, it's quite a beautiful ability to witness in the flesh, and one befitting a woman of your stature of course."
"I presume there must be a grand story behind you getting your hands on such a delicacy? Although, if it is one you're not comfortable with sharing, I understand as well."
