[ hello, i have no idea if they've talked about this specifically in a thread but either way, ken will want to see how akira is doing after...everything. especially since he has finished dealing with his everything as well. mostly everything.
after the dramatic show, he has one of the posters ripped off of the walls in his hands as he looks for a certain familiar someone. his doggie ears raising and lowering with every room he peeks through. ]
[THEY DEFINITELY HAVE NOT!! but Akira isn't that difficult to find, surprisingly enough. he's in the kitchen this morning, sipping idly at a cup of coffee, a pair of black ears on top of his head twitching idly as a sleek black tail swishes back and forth behind him]
[when he realizes Ken is there, his ears stand up a bit]
clearly the matter of the posters literally everywhere is going to put on pause because...cat. aka cue ken's ears perking straight up because wow. those do not look out of place for him. ]
[ see someone else might have found akira's "nyan" to be embarrassing but ken's tail will be wagging at the sight of it because, well, it's entertaining and akira does look good like that. also he's a dog and dogs get excited even though ken might not outwardly show it.
also, if akira cares to notice it, ken is also sporting a new pin on his vest. ]
They are!
[ ahem. ]
Oh, but uh—did you notice all of these flyers? I mean, it's kind of hard to ignore, huh?
[thanks Ken, you're a pal. you feel him. you understand him]
[Akira gestures for Ken to approach and take a seat at the kitchen counter. his gaze briefly flickers towards the pin, his expression falling sadly, wistfully, before he shoves those feelings aside for the more pressing matter at hand]
[ ken does his best to understand the people he's around.
and ken does as he's told and takes a seat near akira placing the poster on the table as he does so. he was expecting a lot of answers but not the one that he gets out of akira's mouth. sure he figured akira might know but— ]
Huh? You made them?
[ his ears perk up and his whole body (ears) show how surprised he is. however...
.... ]
How long were you working on them?
[ you know, because that's what is important to him right now. ]
[ lower its guard, huh? oh wouldn't it be nice for them to catch a break... ]
That'd be nice if it really did lower its guard. [ a beat. ] I asked Blue about some of the people they talked to. Well, kind of.
[ how to phrase this...?
How do you plan on separating Blue from the house? A lot of people think that we need to destroy the house in order to separate Blue, but...is that what you think too?
[ ken's ears perk up and his tail wags happily to that answer. ]
I guess in theory you could also try to prevent it from healing, but I don't think that's the right thing to do either. [ a bit of...hesitation. ] ...do you know what Akechi-san plans on doing?
I haven't asked yet. I plan on it, though, I just figured I might ask you first since you two are...close.
[ ken is having his concerns about their dynamics but that's besides the point. either way, he'll explain himself. ]
I'm curious because Blue mentioned how you both want the same thing but are going about it using different methods. [ he tilts his head much in the way a shiba inu would. ] I'm not a fan of anything that would end up killing Blue.
["close." at that, Akira makes a face. especially as Ken continues, because hey. what the fuck, Akechi. what are you keeping from him]
I don't know if I'd say we're "close," especially since I wasn't aware tha he was planning anything. Or that apparently we're going about things two separate ways.
[. . .]
. . . why are you saying that Blue dying might be the ultimate result?

I'll stay on guard and make sure no one rubs your stomach.
no subject
It's okay. If someone breaches your defenses, I'll just bite their hands off.
[as cats tend to do when you try to pet their stomachs. personal experience, here]

But I burned the extra arm we had.

Oh! Yeah. I don't know where to start—
[ hmmm. ]
Is your calling card?
no subject
[he nods]
Peach and Blue both seemed to think leaving one was a good idea. Peach said the Oddity wouldn't take it seriously, and would thus lower its guard.
[a deep exhale out]
I don't exactly know what the next step in the process is, but. . . I hope the calling card makes it easier. Whatever it might be.

Didn't Blue say they already tried that themselves?
