[le_mat]

Only if you want it to be.

[He grins and steps back, freeing Akechi from embarrassment. His tendrils swipe out to grab their weapons as he goes, hands in his pockets and a light bounce to his step]

I'm gonna go check on the dumplings~

[policedefective]

...Huh.

[Where's the usual piss and vinegar, Goro? Lost in that hand as he watches Akira walk away.

Nooo, come back.]

Are you sure they haven't escaped?

[le_mat]

Well, if they have at least we'll be armed.

[policedefective]

[He tries not to laugh.

After all, this is stupid and dumb and Goro Akechi, despite just having a roller-coaster (rainbow?) of emotions , doesn't like showing too much vulnerability.

But after everything that just happened, it almost feels like a sweet release.

So he laughs. Laughs until tears form in his eyes.]

They might..go right for...right for our mouths!

[le_mat]

[Of course he's heard Goro laugh before. Both the held-back Prince laugh and his unhinged Black Mask laugh.

But this is different. His mouth forms a round little 'o', eyes utterly delighted]

...

[policedefective]

[He finishes laughing and holds a hand to his chest.]

Ha, ha, ha...oww that hurt.

[He hasn't laughed like that in years.]

[le_mat]

.... you should laugh like that more often.

[policedefective]

[He scoffs and walks closer to him.]

Give me more reasons to, and I might.

[le_mat]

I'll take that as a challenge.

[His tendrils slither over and drop the sword into Akira's hands, and he fiddles with it a bit as they walk. He's never actually handled it before]

[policedefective]

Good. I'd already be disappointed otherwise.

[He looks at Akira fiddling with his sword, curious.]

Thinking of swtiching weapons?

[le_mat]

Hm? No, I like using lighter weapons.

[Though his daggers were hefty enough to almost be short swords. He curiously presses his thumb against one of the 'teeth' of the blade, watching blood well up]

I bought almost all the Thieves' weapons, so I got pretty familiar with them. But not your Black Mask ones. Guess I'm just curious about it.

[policedefective]

[Um, excuse you, don't prick your finger on his sword when we're not fighting!]

...well I had a weapon from Amamiya. Something about it being created during an 'red light execution'? It sounded interesting, but I didn't pry at the time. As for this one...I had it made once I understood how the Metaverse worked.

[le_mat]

[His ears perk at the mention of the executions]

I didn't use those very often, but when I did it was usually pretty useful.

[He sticks his thumb in his mouth for a second as it heals]

Makes sense. Looks more dangerous than the laser sword.

[policedefective]

It was...

[He stops, trying to force himself to continue because this is some information he hasn't exactly shared that openly before.]

...something I asked one of Shido's henchmen to make me. I needed for it to look as dangerous as possible so that the demons would take me seriously. Especially since I was alone.

[If anything, the color scheme is fitting.]

[le_mat]

Ah. Makes sense, you wouldn't have had someone like Iwai to make replicas.

[He schools his face to not show any pity, knowing it wouldn't be appreciated. But he does squeeze his shoulder slightly]

[policedefective]

The amount of luck for you to have found someone in all of Tokyo is extremely impressive, if I'm being honest.

[He appreciates the lack of pity, jumping at the touch before shrugging.]

I wouldn't have asked for it if it didn't have some nostalgic value to it. Well that, and it's an actual weapon. Asking for the other would have required more coin due to its magical nature.

[Akechi...]
