[the ear flicks back from Ash's touch, and Akira kind of freezes, because guess who is the first person in the mansion to touch his ears??? THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S ASH]
... I'm gonna assume you're not saying the cat was your only friend.
[ it's cute, let him be. he tries to give them one more little tap, and then his own ears are under attack, and they twitch a couple of times -- surprised and then almost reflexively, and ash scrunches up his nose. ]
[ Ash snorts. ] Hardly. C'mon, you're seriously telling me your only friend was the cat?
[ acccck. acccckkk?? ash's ears twitch, and again and then he just straight up goes crosseyed when akira boops his nose, and wriggles it like he's going to sneeze. ]
A little timid. Don't seem to know a lot of what you're asking them... unless you're specific. Also, apparently creeping around the house when we're not looking.

[cats can pet cats???]
. . . I guess Mona's ears are kind of pointy. . .
no subject

no subject

[reaches out to poke Ash's ears, too]

[oh. now he's grinning, a slightly impish look in his expression as he continues to poke at Ash's ears]
[and then his scrunched up nose]

Oi.
[ don't be a hypocrite ash, you started this. ]
no subject
[hehehe]
Don't complain; you started it.
[c. . . cute]
no subject
[ ear wars. ash just gives him a flat look before leaning forwards and -- just straight up scritching akira's ear. HOW CAT LIKE ARE YOU?? ]
no subject
[MAKES A STARTLED CAT NOISE]
[AND JERKS BACK, WHAT THE HECK]
no subject
that's a reaction. ]
Hurts?
no subject
[his ears are perked forward again]
You startled me. . .
no subject
Senstive then? [ he keeps? looking at the ears?? they're super expressive. ]
no subject
Juuuust a little.
no subject
flicks the ear tip. ]
Just a little, huh.
no subject
Shut up.
no subject
Sure, sure. It's kinda cute though. I didn't realise they were that expressive.
no subject
[. . . okay so it's not a perfect analogy but WHATEVER!! Ash says he's cute and that means Ash is cute too!!]
no subject
These are tiny and round, there's no comparison.
no subject
Did you need me for something, by the way?
no subject
...
taking a sip of his coffee, ash digs into his shirt and pulls out the green triangle. ]
Couple of things. This is called the Adder Stone. To quote the big boss themselves - "It helps with secrets and lost things".
... And I wanted to hear from you what you think is going on here.
no subject
[Akira blinks a few times, before reaching out to take the Adder Stone from Ash, rolling it around in between his fingers as he does so]
Huh. . . I like "Third Eye" better.
[there's a flicker of amusement on his features]
Before I answer that: did you talk to Blue in person?
no subject
[ ash takes another siiiiiiiiip, and then nods. ] I get what you mean by "person-like". They're kinda like a patchwork... being?
no subject
[speaking of, he hands it back to Ash]
Patchwork being is a good way to describe it. They're a little timid, aren't they?
no subject
A little timid. Don't seem to know a lot of what you're asking them... unless you're specific. Also, apparently creeping around the house when we're not looking.
