It seems that way. [ The corner of his eyes crinkle with that thought. ] Hmm, usually power like that comes at a great cost...
[ He seems to contemplate, observing Akira curiously and... when he opens his mouth again, it's with curious words. ] Do you mind if I ask you something?
..What do you believe in? What helps motivate you?
[ He's taken aback for a second, a curious, surprised expression on his features before he schools it back to his normal aloofness. ]
I don't believe in God or justice, if that's what you're asking, or life being fair or crap like that. I do what I want and whatever I need to do to keep those I care about safe, I don't think life has to be more complicated than that.
I'm not necessarily. But, thanks for giving me an answer anyways.
[ Dokja has a tendency of asking things that more often than not take someone by surprise. ] I feel like I understand you a bit more now.
I won't push to ask what happened with Bertolt during the trial, but if you need an ear to rant to I've been told I'm a good listener. [ It's said as if in passing, his daemon returning to coil back to her earlier position as if satisfied. ]
[ Akira nods and rolls his shoulders, he didn't really mind answering but it's food for thought later. ]
What I'd really like to do is punch the asshole who's in charge of all of this, but thanks. You don't charge, do you? [ This kinda sounds like a joke. ]
I think I'd prefer to do more than just punch them, but I agree.
[ You know. Maybe have them have a taste of what they're putting them through here. But, at the joke, whether actually or not, he still humors with a response. ] I don't charge much, I'd only ask for a story in return.
[ Akira probably wouldn't mind that either, but start small. ] <.small>
Just try not to vanish off to who knows where. [ He won't call out yjh directly cause he's not like that, but he does need to say this as the silent third party here. ]

Wonder if that was something that could have been done in the first place too.

If I have any say or control in it, I'll try my best not to. [ Try, he says. But he can't really make any promises, unfortunately. ]

He kicks a bottle again, this time lazily. ]
And I'll try to remember your offer before I break shit next time.

Some people have a preference for actions over words, so don't worry about it. [ Yes, he's talking about someone specifically. ]
