[Akira is not privy to that information, alas. and his gentle inquiry into their connection is out of completely innocent curiosity]

President? He seemed like the type to be unwillingly drawn into those kinds of activities, if I'm being honest.

[not the time to found them]

[flyingsolos]

Yeah, I'm not sure if he got pulled into it or got volunteered for it... but he's actually a pretty reliable leader.

[purrtagonist]

[pauses at that terminology]

[. . .]

I believe it. He really does strike me as the dependable type.

[flyingsolos]

Right? You... kind of give me the same feeling.

[ she sounds surprised by this. ]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . and he looks equally as surprised]

Ah-- [but then again. . . his team tells him that too, don't they?]

Well, it isn't like I try to be unreliable.

[flyingsolos]

No, but you do get stuck in my door.

[purrtagonist]

You know, I fell through two other doors that night.

[he. he isn't bragging]

[flyingsolos]

... Kurusu-kun...

[purrtagonist]

[and yet, Akira seems so chill]

I suppose, if anything, it's a good way to make friends.

[flyingsolos]

You know there are easier ways, right? I'm surprised I didn't hear more screaming.

[purrtagonist]

Hey. . . I'm not that scary.

[flyingsolos]

It's not you, it's literally someone falling through the door.

[ who wouldn't be loudly startled?? Just Rion? Anybody??? ]

[purrtagonist]

[Dave and Rean are too Dave and Rean for that??]

But someone like me falling through a door is less frightening than, say, an evil spirit falling through a door.

[flyingsolos]

I'm pretty sure that's not something that happens to most people.

[purrtagonist]

I don't know, Dave seemed pretty experienced with ghosts.

[even if he claimed his friend John was the Ghostbuster of the two]

How's your shoulder feeling?

[flyingsolos]

... Better, thanks. Am I allowed to keep practicing, sir?

[ the sass never truly dies. ]

[purrtagonist]

[oh my god]

Sure. I suppose I can sign a medical release saying as much, too.

[flyingsolos]

Perfect! Then I've got Iwai's approval too?

[ she knows you have your son, Akira. ]

[purrtagonist]

[as if on cue, their son pokes his head out from underneath Akira's hood again. hello!!]

Hm? Is my approval not good enough?

[flyingsolos]

Nope, it's a joint decision.

[ gently waving at the lizard, though. ]

[purrtagonist]

[if only the wizard could wave back. but in lieu of doing so, he crawls down Akira's arm, skitters across the table, and tries to crawl right up Rion's]

This suddenly feels like a very important, very diplomatic family meeting.

[flyingsolos]

Awww, hey! You're looking healthy.

[ she's just going to pat him with a finger. ]

I guess that's approval.

[purrtagonist]

[he is healthy!! Akira may be the worst lizard dad but he at least knows what to feed him]

Looks like it. But until your shoulder is fully healed, I'm going to say no to any attempts at carrying me.

[flyingsolos]

Oh, come on! Not even just a few inches off the ground?

[purrtagonist]

There's no rush, Kugayama.

[has she noticed he dropped the honorific]
