But he takes the coffee with a brief 'thanks', looks Akane up and down one more time to confirm that yes, she does look a little different. ]
You're the first one I've heard of that's been able to go 'home' and back. I wanted to confirm that you haven't been tampered with.
[ Bugged, monitored— maybe he's a little paranoid, but listen, it's better to be safe than sorry. ]
no subject
[ akane at least feels that her code's been tampered with, but in a good way. she looks older now, and she has new memories. had her code not been updated, then she'd still look the same, probably... that's what she guesses, anyway. ]
no subject
[ He hasn't actually explained to Akane that he has 'special powers', so this might just sound insane, but. At the same time, Cerealia has strange people, so it should also be par for the course, he figures. ]
If something drastic was done to you, or if you'd been bugged, I'd be able to feel the discrepancy.
[ Aside from the bug everyone's been wearing from day one. ]
no subject
Alright. Do I need to do anything?
no subject
[ Because if there'd really been something wrong, he would've had to speak up... awkward. ]
...It's good to know that you're the real deal, if nothing else.
no subject
[ well, what else is she supposed to say to that? ]
Oh, and do you want to eat the cake together?
no subject
[ That's a lie, but he's still self-conscious about his face, so there it is. ]
But you can eat. I'll watch. [ A beat later, and he realizes how PROFOUNDLY WEIRD that sounds. ] —Unless. That's an issue.
[ Ah yes, how to backpedal 101. ]
no subject
[ she takes a sip of her coffee, eyeing adolf to see what his reaction might be. and when she sets her coffee mug back on the table, she adds: ]
It's fine. I can eat it later, then.
no subject
[ He sighs a bit, and then adds: ] If you have things to think about, I can leave. It can't be all that pleasant, winding up back here.
no subject
[ she really won't allow it! ]
I wouldn't pressure you to show me, but please know that I wouldn't judge you for anything. After all, we're friends.
[ yeah she said the "f" word. ]
no subject
...It's just a general consensus. I can show it to you, but it won't be pleasant.
[ Friends... he's still wondering how this happened to him, and it shows in the slight furrow of his brows. ]
no subject
Please don't tell me you're uncomfortable with the idea of being friends.
[ you can't escape this one, adolf. especially when she's a better profiler than she was before. ]
no subject
[ Cue him clearing his throat. ]
...Not the issue.
[ She's suddenly being so straightforward?! ]
no subject
I'm glad to hear that.
no subject
So he heaves a sigh, deflates just a little. ]
If you're going to use the 'friend' designation, know that it goes both ways.
If there's anything you need, speak up.
no subject
[ yup, she did. maybe about twenty seconds ago. ]
no subject
[ He really needs this spelled out for him, jeez. ]
...The cake. [ Akane is too powerful... ]
no subject
[ off she goes back in the kitchen to get a knife and slice the thing. she comes back with two plates later, and a thin slice of cake for both of them. ]
no subject
He looks up, nods, and takes his portion of food. ]
...Thanks. [ That's almost inaudible, before he adds: ] How old are you, Tsunemori.
[ Asking a girl for her age, scandalous. ]
no subject
I'm twenty-two now.
[ and it's not as scandalous as you may think, adolf.
she sits down in front of him and adds: ] You don't look bad at all, if that was what you were worried about.
no subject
The comment about his face makes him breathe a little softly, as if he's just slightly amused by that assessment. ]
It still isn't 'good'. [ But he doesn't want to be a total wet blanket, so. ] Disappointed, are you.
[ A mean tease... ]
no subject
[ okay, she doesn't get it. ]
no subject
[ But he tips his head to the side once he starts eating, to keep his open jaw out of sight. ]
You're not fazed by much.
no subject
[ that's all she says until she takes a small bite from her cake. ]
no subject
[ He also eats his own cake, and vaguely hopes that it's to Akane's taste. ]
You're the kind of person that people want to try to rile up, probably.
[ Adolf... what kind of a thing is this to say to someone... ]
