[HELP NOT AKIRA BECOMING MEAN... we could have switched our skins back again.......
Anyway he's not going to make Akira put the head back GOD. Judging by the fact that he still has his hand on the doorknob, it doesn't seem like he's inclined to drag this out, nice juice or not.]
The token of my godhood. [HIS BROKE-Y GNOCCHI.] You don't need to know anything else about it. [wouldn't that be funny if that was the end of the conversation and he was just like "well anyway nice talk about my gnosis, okay bye".
BUT NO. He hesitates for a second because he fucking hates this, but he hates the idea of losing his gnosis AGAIN!!! even more. So.]
...I'm not foolish enough to think that I'm invincible. [Especially not now. He's also not dumb enough to think he's endeared himself to anyone.] So if someone gets it in their head to decorate the dunk tank with my insides or whatever, see to it that that gnosis stays with me. Do you understand?
["I don't trust you", because he doesn't trust anyone. But here's stupid Akira, holding onto a head and some scrawny, long-dead kitten like they're precious things, and he thinks that he can at least... say it. Say it, even if he won't get his hopes up, because he refuses to be disappointed by others again.
(Funny, that, considering he wouldn't be asking at all if he didn't have any hope in it working out.)]
[DON’T JUST LEAVE HIM ON READ LIKE THAT, DAMN! Sitting here with a head and a ragged cat being told he don’t need to know anything else.
He is still looking at Scaramouche with some perplexity because he cannot fathom this dude asking him to do a single thing. But his look is also soft in the way of serious understanding.
Dobby has been given a Task.]
…Okay. [He is getting over the initial shock. A little more firmly:] Okay.
You mean… with your body?
[Here’s hoping Aki doesn’t fucking blend you, my guy.]
[HE DOESN'T!! HE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW!!!!! He hates the look Akira's giving him and frankly hates the general feeling of vulnerability that asking someone for something leaves him with, no matter how he might try to word it like a demand.]
With whatever's left on that altar, yes.
[:3c blendy........
But also he just realistically doesn't expect to be left in one piece on account of the fact that he's going to be tricky to kill. Sometimes... you are poison-immune and don't have any insides for easy stabbings...... It's fine he knows this, he is not bothered by it. Honestly he's more upset over having to give Dobby a task than he is over the idea that someone might someday break his body into ten million pieces.]
[Well. This still ain’t told him shit about the gnosis technically, but he has been asked to do something which holds grave significance, so… he can’t exactly say no (because he’s Akira).
Not that he trusts himself to not fail at even this. If he can’t protect Miki when her father asked him to watch out for her… what good is he in keeping promises? He hugs the head a bit to himself.]
Okay, I will.
[He does not necessarily expect the same to hold true, but:]
If something happens to me… see if someone will bury Miki and take care of this guy.
[He doesn’t put the onus on the guy with allergies.]
[Yeah he really said "let's talk about the gnosis" and then said "just make sure it doesn't leave my side binch you don't need to know shit outside of that okay bye". HELP.
Akira's really going through it with this fucking head though, damn. He also arches a brow at the addendum to the request, but naturally doesn't ask questions about it. Maybe surprisingly, there isn't much hesitation before he nods.]
That sounds fair.
[But really, it's just because making the matter transactional makes it easier to stomach. Now it feels like a business deal, a give-and-take where he can supply something in return for something else, no feelings or trust involved. It's familiar, and he looks a little less terse accordingly.]
[HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SOFT EMOTIONS HE JUST HAS THE EMOTION OF MAD AND THE EMOTION OF UNCOMFORTABLE the latter is what he had been feeling but now he can go back to vibing.
Also good question. i hope we both die at the same time that would be so funny. ANYWAY, he's just quiet for a second after that before turning again.]

Consider it a deal.

Also, sometimes you just know your bestie won’t care about a damn head or a skrunkly cat…]
It’s a deal then.
[Why am I always caught up in some kind of terrible deal with your characters everywhere I go.]

Then I'll take my leave.
