[DUNKLE YOU CHECKED IN ON HIM LAST NIGHT]

[anyway Akira is nursing a cup of coffee because SWEET, SWEET SENSE OF TASTE. he blinks at Phoenix, a bit surprised at the honest, blunt greeting, before he lets out an amused snort]

Thanks.

[PHANTOM THIEVES GOTTA PHANTOM THIEF]

I took self-defense classes.

[he did not]

[ this time it's secret emotional checkup. ]

[ he doesn't buy that, but he smiles. ]

Good classes. I might hire you as an instructor after all this.

Did you talk to Nikki?

I charge five cups of coffee per lesson, by the way.

[lifts his cup!!]

[. . .]

[and then his expression falls]

No. . . I didn't.

[he sounds a bit guilty when he says that, but he just didn't have it in him to talk to her while she was in that state]

You might regret that price when you taste the coffee I make.

[ .... ]

I did. Didn't shed any light on what happened, though.

. . . [PHOENIX DON'T SCARE HIM LIKE THAT]

[unfortunately all coffee jokes are shoved aside in favor of talking about Nikki]

Was she even able to hold a conversation?

[ rest in pieces diego akiramando ]

More or less. Not much to say, though.

[:(]

I wish-- [he stops himself, and then starts over]

What did she manage to say?

Hiss hiss, hiss mostly.

[. . . . . . . . :(]

I wonder. . . was she always like that? Or did something about her change when she got here?

I wonder, too.

Wonder if it's related to the message we heard at the beginning of the week.

[ mystery. ]

. . . I don't know.

I'd ask one of the sisters about it, but Pumpkin-san said she tunes those messages out. I wonder if that's true for all three of them?
