[it's true. Akira isn't stupid enough to pick fights when Isaac doesn't want him to]
[but he is, perhaps, also ballsy enough to confront the guy about it. Akira's gaze narrows as he too takes a seat, arms folded over his torso and legs crossed]
[. . .]
[other than the sharpening of his gaze, he doesn't outwardly react]
[ that produces a tired laugh, for one reason or another ]
No kidding. He's so prickly he makes a cactus look huggable.
... I've actually talked to him since then. We managed to have a discussion, somehow. He was .... himself. [ flatly. ] ... but ... it's weird, but I feel like we made progress, somehow.
Just that... I wouldn't know the outcome for sure until I got home, and until then I should focus on getting out, and what I can do to make things better when I do get back.

That guy. . .

He's probably the least friendly person here.

Because if he hurts you again, I'm kicking his ass.
[. . . okay. he is like, half not stupid enough to not pick fights]
no subject
[ NO????????????????????????????? HE'S SO TIRED ]
You know what? Fine. If he's dumb enough to pick a fight with me for some reason you have my permission to kick his ass to the moon.
no subject
[not that Akira would ask for permission beforehand. he is a little bad sometimes I'm sorry]
He'd deserve it.
no subject
He would definitely deserve it.
[ there's a pause, and then, somewhat more seriously: ]
I told him about ... about what happened. About Mr. Spender and what I did. What he said ... actually reminded me a lot of what you told me.
no subject
How so?
[it isn't a judgmental question. it's a genuinely curious one]
no subject
[ ..... ]
He was a complete jerk about it, but ...
[ it was still nice. ]
no subject
[but no, Akira just lets out a breath at that, the sound a little wry]
He might be an asshole, but he isn't wrong.
[maybe there is a tiny shred of caring underneath that asshole exterior of Asch's??]
no subject
... but he'll actually smile a little, at that. ]
Yeah, I know that. Thanks to you. Heh, if I hadn't talked to you first I prolly just would've gotten mad.
no subject
Just don't tell him that, or else he'll think he's always right.
[makes a face!!]
no subject
Asch doesn't need anybody to tell him he's right. He already knows it!
no subject
[WELL NOW HE'S AMUSED]
