[He's learned the hard way not to be certain of anything. New information can appear at any time - like a killer's motives changing, or your boyfriend saying he'd rather you be happy than date him if it came down to it! So best not to think too hard on it.]
Uh huh. What about you and Ren? You've been together a while, right?
[Funny, isn’t it? How the other boy’s words give Akechi a brief moment of pause, his brow pinching at the realization of just how long it’s been. Not only his time with Ren, but his time here in Faerie as well.
How has a year passed by so quickly?]
More or less. [Helpful, Akechi.] I was resistant for quite some time beforehand, but Amamiya surpasses even my own stubbornness. I’ve never met anyone so persistent about anything.
[Smart, Hanamura. Wouldn't want to be on the bad end of Akechi's sword again if he caught sight of that grin.]
Rarely, but sometimes. It's certain a sign of dedication. I imagine most would have given up on me well over a year ago. But Ren is just too stupid to know better. [(Affectionate)]
There, that should be enough. We simply need to heat the chocolate and then let it cool in these molds. Should be simple after the mess we made last time.

Date: 2026-04-25 04:11 am (UTC)Yes, that is true. If he wasn't so stubborn in chasing me, I wouldn't be involved with either him or his team. I'd be fighting this battle on my own.

So stubborn's good sometimes.

Date: 2026-05-06 04:25 am (UTC)Something like that. It's called tempering the chocolate, I believe. We just have to ensure the bowl we're using is heat-resistant.
