You actually believe that? [ maybe this is a stupid question considering xie lian was just standing outside wrestling with the idea of taking clothes but. ]
...mm, that is true. Though, I don't think it's just to the law - it just simply is.
Even so, you make a good point. [ sort of absently, xie lian touches a hand to his own stomach. ] People have to work to make a livelihood - perhaps simply speaking with the shopkeeper to understand the situation of survival or eating could soothe the way and save any troubles in the first place, no?
[ Akira is wandering outside with an aimless gait, his hood pulled up over his head. He's tired, but he doesn't quite seem ready to just rest either. ]
[ rolls in twenty four hours later with starbucks because today was busy but also!!
on his walk, he will see xie lian sitting outside near the fountain! it looks like he might be meditating, but, when he hears footsteps, he opens an eye. and then, calls out - ]
[ he scratches his cheek, a little sheepish. ] Truthfully, even towards the end - it was hard to tell who did what. I was sure Suigetsu did something, but...
It is nothing terribly exciting. Rather, one of the watchers has tasked me with doing something simple - I am to share a secret of mine with someone else. Would you mind to listen?
Recently, my mother has begun to cook on her own, at home. She was raised very wealthy, and has never really had to cook for herself, but our living situation has changed and she's doing her best to help out by preparing meals for myself and the others who live with us each day. We can't afford much in the way of ingredients, either, but we've gotten what we can to scrape by what should be acceptable meals.
...However. Her cooking is horrendous. I feel terrible telling her that, though, because she is trying so hard, so...I'm not much of a liar, but I have been pretending that her food is incredible and stomaching it - or, throwing it out of the back window when she's not looking.
[ Compared to the stark white palette of the church, Akira sticks out like a sore thumb. This definitely isn't his type of scene, but he seems to be distracted looking at the angel motifs. Nagako notices Xie Lian first, her head popping out of Akira's hoodie with a flit of her tongue. ]

I don't want to steal someone's livelihood....even if perhaps things aren't so lively.

[ sometimes you gotta just hop fences or steal a piece of bread. ]

Thus, the note.

Knock yourself out. [ he will not come reporting but if he's caught in the process of stealing he'll acquiesce. ]
no subject
Thank you. [ a beat. ] Ah. I didn't catch your name - I am Xie Lian. It's a pleasure.

Kijima Akira. I'll skip the courtesies, thanks. [ he literally just bowed but some habits are just in his blood. ]

Ah, Mr. Akira. Do you have a moment...?
no subject
That gets him to stop since woah that address. ]
Just Kijima, I don't want Mr. for at least another ten years. What's up?
no subject
Truthfully, I wanted to thank you. The information that you shared with us at the end is what pushed us over the edge in a correct vote, today.
no subject
You don't need to thank me. Especially when I'm still not sure what exactly happened in those murders.

Give her easy recipes and things she can bake and not put on the stove. That's what I do for Ami when she wants to help.
no subject
Ami...?

Oh, how cute... [ with a smile... his mother will need to be treated like a ten year old, actually. ] I'll try.
THIS ALSO DISAPPEARED backtags furiously

It's a power I have back home, called bloodmetry. I can see the memories of blood, but it's not always clear.
