[No Shinigami. But how did he get the Note? Had he found it like Light and had just never had anyone show up? If so, it was likely he didn't know as many rules as Light. That made it more likely he would screw up and have the Note end up in the wrong hands. That couldn't happen. He'd prefer to go home to confirm his Note was still there, but he didn't know how much this man could be trusted.
But, this does make sense. He knew Light was Kira, somehow, and was one of the people who agreed with his work. He had never planned to actually meet those followers, but he didn't have much choice here. It explain why the man seemed so respectful to someone younger than him.
Putting the Note back out - he needed to make sure this man stayed comfortable and didn't get skittish - he would pull out his phone to type in a text.]
I'll come with you to the place you have in mind, but I'll have to let my family know I won't be coming home yet.
[It wouldn't take long to type out a quick message about a friend before he could pocket the phone.]
[ooc: I assume he didn't order him to take the eyes. He'd want someone who was not only willing to listen to him and do what was needed, but could predict what was needed and do it.]
