Nobunaga relaxes instantly. It's just paranoia. Surely. (He was definitely trying to trick Jeff!)
"Not sleep," that one he hates no matter the circumstances. He's like a giant toddler. No nap! Still an eyebrow gets arched, "You'd trust one such as I with rage?" That's a new one. And curiouser still. "I don't mind crying in front of you," Oda agrees firmly. That's not a huge deal to him, and it would be unique. "If you prefer rage, you may attempt it, but --" Fires of all kinds rage through his head, and the more he thinks on the past, the icier he gets. Jeff is... friend? Friend-adjacent. Possible friend. Nobunaga tilts his head, "I have never killed out of rage. Not once. I'm not sure of my control once it's enhanced. What if I've just never been that angry?"
Even the Demon King was beholden to certain rules. Like not to hate enemies. To always strive to have ultimate moral authority. These sorts of things in combat.
