Akira's just gonna go take a restroom break. And after that he just kind of... goes for a walk?
... sue him, he never saw this sort of greenery, growing up. Any brushes with nature were little and fleeting. He's also maybe... still a little miffed about what happened earlier with Vanitas?
But he still agreed to hear him out... And this will give them a bit of privacy.]
[ He's not surprised Akira's annoyed. Who wouldn't be annoyed with him? That's just his-... whatever this is, since it doesn't feel like a life, if what he said to Akira before was anything to go by.
When he approaches, he just leans against a tree just outside of the forest. He calls out in a tone that manages to be casual - not... mocking, which might be strange? ]
I could drop one of those cheesy lines and say 'the heart', buuuut... [ hint of a softened, tired kind of smirk ] I went so long without hearing anyone's voice, it's kind of nice. Especially when the person isn't so bad, in general, to listen to.
[He's... not so bad to listen to? They fought when they first met. Akira was hostile at him the moment he saw him again. The only time he'd been remotely kind was when he... reached out.
...
But then... He knows how much of an effect Goro had on him. It'd been enough to almost compromise several years' worth of pain, planning and hardship.
He gives a bit of a huff, turning his reddened face away.]
[Slowly, he returns his gaze to Vanitas. His brow furrows at the words, and his gaze definitely hardens a little at the "monster" part, reflecting his displeasure (and maybe some curiosity), but he doesn't press that at the moment.

Still angry?

Knowing everything about all of you would be impossible, idiot...

[Going to walk right up to Vanitas, now, to look him in the eyes, if he'll let him.]

[ If they do this longer than a few seconds, though, his cheeks are going to start to darken the tiniest bit. ]

Date: 2019-08-31 02:40 pm (UTC)There's a bit of a widening of his eyes at that blush, and his own cheeks turn a bit red...?
He's averting his gaze awkwardly.]
So... about your right to exist.

Stop avoiding the question.

Date: 2019-09-03 08:37 pm (UTC)Fine, fine...
[ There's something reserved in the way he looks to the side, falling quiet for a moment. ]
That's the whole point of the game - to undo some awful things and... maybe fix the future.
[ He runs a hand over his face. ]
While it won't prove I'm not a monster, it can prove I deserve to exist alongside my family.
