He hadn't meant anything by it; thinking before he speaks, or using any tact at all, isn't Leon's strongest point. And Tanaka's answer also isn't anything he can easily understand--he really just does not get people who don't care at all about what anyone thinks. I mean, come on!
And picking up on subtlety isn't his thing either, so if there's any thread of overcompensation in Tanaka right now, he doesn't notice it.
But what he does notice is that, even if he doesn't really get it, and even if this guy's still a huge freak--that was pretty cool. He stops laughing and smiles back, a bit awkwardly. This nerdy bullshit still isn't going to cow him, but it's not half bad either, as speeches go.]
Damn . . . you're pretty harsh, but I dunno what I expected. Maybe you really are a devil, or angel, or uh--what's a half devil, half angel, anyway? 's there a word for that? Anyway, you're pretty dedicated to that, huh? I guess that's cool in a way. Like, if you're gonna go weird, go all-out weird!
