For someone who is just dense, he is oddly intent on helping out. It wouldn't be enough to make her worry if she was relaxed and didn't expect any ill from anyone, but... really, she's been on edge for way too long to not assume that he's trying to play her somehow. Something is really wrong here.
She reaches up to fiddle with her scarf - pulling it down just enough to free the upper half of her snout and the black dents there that function as heat sensors, but not enough to risk the scarf slipping down and her risking to reveal what cannot be hidden by the falling darkness yet. Ryoji might notice that her fingers seem to be oddly pointy at the ends, and oddly long, too.
It's a risk, but she would really like to know if the person that she is dealing with is fellow Kindred, and seeing if they have body heat is a really easy way to tell. Sure, he could also be a ghoul or anything else, too - could even be a very nosey regular human - but small beginnings and all.
"Thank you, but I should be able to find it alone."
