WEEK 2; after trial

[bloodread]

[ Akira is by the fountains enjoying on his favorite pastimes, brooding. Well brooding and running a gloved hand through the water, watching the droplets of water bead off. ]

[naqqali]

[ very emo of you akira.

Sche did not intend to run into anyone else, and honestly, she's a little freaked when she suddenly comes across someone else! She jumps back, her staff in front of her for defense-- but she relaxes just as quickly as she reacted. ]

I apologize for the intrusion, I did not think anyone else would be out here.

[ her daemon, in mongoose form, is more bold about walking up to akira's foot for a sniff. ]

[bloodread]

[ He stares at her blankly then just sighs. Her daemon may sniff away! His is in kangaroo form, and she peeks her head out from behind the fountain, apparently just taking an impromptu bath. ]

Yeah, that's exactly why I'm here. [ Looks at his daemon. ] One of them, anyway.

[naqqali]

Are you alright?

[ She remembers that she wanted to ask him about Revali's murder, but maybe that's why he's upset? And she doesn't want to make that. Worse. ]

[bloodread]

I've been worse. These murders are fucked up, but they're not fucked up if you get me.

[ He may have seen a lot of murders... ]

WEEK 4; monday

[naqqali]

[ Scheherazade did not have any intentions of sitting in the tavern proper. However, upon seeing Akira, she takes pause before hesitantly heading over to him. She's wearing an outfit from Ankheen, which is good for hiding her new tail, and her hair is doing an adequate job of hiding her ears - though the furry, rounded edges are visible. The dusky markings of a clouded leopard, however, are much more difficult to hide. ]

Is this seat taken?

[ She would not impose herself on him if he didn't agree, but her elf owl daemon has other ideas and decides to hop onto the table anyway. ]

[bloodread]

[ He waves a hand, he doesn't seem to mind even if her owl is pushy. There's no noticeable animal traits from what she can see, but he has his hood up even in the dark confines of the tavern.

Nagako peeks out from where she's curled around the bar stool in mamushi form, bobbing her head as if to say hi. ]

The best part of a bar is the company, according to my Aunt.

[naqqali]

You should be careful of the company you keep in this place.

[ she is both solemn and concerned, and hesitates before she speaks again. ]

Although, I should take my own advice, too.

[bloodread]

What, you afraid of me?

[ There's something amused in his voice. ]

WEEK 4; after trial

[naqqali]

[ we're both out here contemplating our lives and our choices out here on the southern isles this evening. ]

Akira. How are you faring?

[ yeah we're just gonna sail past all the usual pleasantries ]

[bloodread]

How the fuck do you think?

[ Nagako is coiled around his right arm, a low hiss her only greeting. ]

[naqqali]

Mm, I assumed as much.

[ djinni, in fox form, pads up to him, cocking his head to the side. hewwo? ]

That outcome was worse than expected...

[bloodread]

Shit took too long, and the items hurt more than they helped.

[ Nagako glares at djinni but she is a snake so this is default state of being. ]

WEEK 5; Friday night

[bloodread]

[ Friday is a very very long day, but sometime after things have settled down, Akira stops by Sche's room. He knocks and waits for an answer, knowing she startles easy. ]

[naqqali]

[ she is hesitant to open the door, at first only opening it a crack to see who is there. once she sees that it's a familiar face, she opens it a bit more.

djinni helpfully sticks his fox face out from behind the door, as if to say hello. ]

Yes?

[bloodread]

Wanted to make sure you hadn't died again cause that seems popular lately.

[ Nagako peeks out from behind Akira in kangaroo form and hops up and down when she sees djinni. Akira tilts his head in the universal "mind if I come in?" ]

[naqqali]

Oh... yes, I suppose that makes sense.

[ she steps aside to let them in. djinni yips happily. her room is tidy and doesn't have anything else notable about it - it's just a standard room. all the lights are on. ]

Are you doing alright?

WEEK 6; MONDAY

[bloodread]

[ Why is Akira here. Akira is here cause he caught Sche out by herself getting oogled by guys, and he is a big enough guy to deter other guys. He is not concerned for her (please don't ask him this, or do).

Either way he's just here being a looming bulky hot topic model while she goes on the shopping spree she deserves. ]

Where are you even putting all these clothes? [ He is also here to carry bags too. ]

[naqqali]

There is always a storage space for clothes in our rooms, regardless of where we go. I traded away some of my other outfits in Ankheen, so I freed up some space.

[ Said matter of factly, as she motions for him to enter another store. ]

If you would like, we can stop somewhere for you as well?

[ She's aware that isn't entirely the problem, but like. dude. take care of yourself too! ]

[bloodread]

I don't really care what I wear as long as it's comfortable and black. [ And red.

He adjusts his choker though as he says this, since he is an accessories guy actually. ]

[naqqali]

Would you mind if I bought you something?

[ Since she isn't sure how he feels about gifts. She busies herself with looking through some items on the sale rack as she asks, so that way if he isn't receptive, she can just pivot to a different topic. ]

week 7 pre end game

[bloodread]

[ In a void somewhere, Akira is gonna lean up against whatever is nearby. ]

Did you get my letter? [ Why is he so bad at saying its nice to see you again. ]

[naqqali]

Oh, Akira! [ she smiles, just a bit, at him. ]

I do not recall receiving one, no... but I am glad to see you again.

[bloodread]

[ He makes a face. ]

Yeah, same. [ The face is probably not to that because— ] Do you want me to punch Spike for you again?

[naqqali]

Ah... Well. I cannot control what you do, Akira, or how you feel. If it would give you some closure, or if you are seeking permission... I permit you you to do what you feel is necessary.

[ she knows he isn't asking for permission lol. but she still can't bring herself to be like, 'yeah go for it.' ]
