week 7, post-trial - Akechi

[IS THE MOST USELESS DETECTIVE GONNA RUN AWAY FROM HIM AGAIN

Actually will it even be possible to get the detective out of Eichi's sight for ten seconds??? Honestly, it doesn't matter. Yasusada genuinely doesn't have any intention of attacking him--the only reason he doesn't really want to seek him out in public is because he's pretty sure Eichi's going to Regina George Glare him to death for standing in his vicinity.]

Akechi-kun. [THE -KUN IS BACK AND EVERYTHING holy shit. But there's an obvious lightness to Yasusada's entire demeanor--being resurrected and reunited with one's most precious people can do that. He nods curiously to the injuries.] You didn't get healed?

[well. he isn't running, much to his credit! but he kind of looks like he wants to run for a brief moment there, before his mask settles perfectly onto his features again]

No.

[he refused the offer from Rebecca]

Bruises will heal on their own, won't they?

[okitactless]

[It may have settled back almost immediately, but Yasusada is not, in fact, the totally oblivious idiot that he seems like he could be--he tilts his head, looking thoughtful.]

Are you afraid of me?

[There isn't any judgment in his tone, a far cry from almost every other time they've spoken, save for perhaps the day before. Right now, it's simple curiosity.]

I don't want to attack you.

[doublecrows]

No. I'm not afraid.

[it isn't fear that makes him want to bolt, but the uncertainty and awkwardness that comes with not knowing how interact with someone who hates him]

. . . I presumed you got it all out of your system while we were on the Other Side.

[okitactless]

Dazai-kun probably would've killed you again if he'd been alone, you know.

[Rather than pointing out he didn't actually do any most of the attacking, he's just going to... make that clear... look, he likes Dazai, but he'll be the first to admit that the dude's more violent than he is.

Yasusada doesn't seem to expect any praise or acknowledgment, though. He's not an idiot, and it doesn't matter anymore anyway. Yasusada will be grumpy about the way things went down until the end of time, but they're not returning to the same place, so it's fine.]

What will you do now?

[doublecrows]

[DAZAI IS TERRIFYING. . .]

[Akechi's shoulders slump, and for a moment, he looks. . . not helpless, but. lost]

I am not completely sure.

[he only has vague ideas]

But I suppose I will start with trying to be better.

[okitactless]

[HE SURE IS IT'S GREAT (yams no)

But Yasusada also looks surprised at that?! He's rude]

Really? I didn't expect that, from you. [JUST, BLUNTLY... #tactless]

Hmm, but I suppose it'll be a lot easier if you don't have to kill people. [yams didn't play persona 5... also he's still, y'know. A sword. So he sounds like it's almost a question? "Better" is a very vague term, especially for a weapon talking to a regular human.]
