Akechi tried to get off this goddamn boat once and for all - a couple rounds enough to confirm this shit reads a heart. Displays it. Lets it out for the world to see.
He's gained valuable intel on others and sometimes his own desires get muted under the world's noise, but-
Qifrey is someone he can't risk this little game with. A man who already sees the worst in him, no matter how much Akechi tries to smooth it over.
But here they are - in a ride he knows will be a nightmare in minute or two. At least Qifrey's own shit will finally be on display, if Akechi can time it. Make noise. Be louder than than his own will-
What a mess.]
My apologies for stepping in, but I was pushed from the crowd.
[Not UNTRUE. His foot slipped on the edge, barely catching the swan's side and he only had the option to sit down when it started to move. He isn't built to do the splits. ]
[ qifrey has his hands folded on his lap. he's not the least bit fussed though he can sense akechi might be a little. he wonders how much akechi has gleaned of himself, but akechi's awareness seems to be . . . 50/50 in that regard. ]
[ Somewhere, where BB has observed that either Qifrey has gone often, or his home, between the date of 12/3 and 12/10. BB can be found leaning against a tree, dressed warmly, waiting for Qifrey to come from wherever he had just been at this moment in time. As he steps outside, he notices BB standing there, looking up at him with the face of someone who says I want to talk. However, she does not say anything at all at first, almost as if she is gauging whether or not it would be okay for her to show up. ]
[ his house is a mess without magic and qifrey having not paid for water or electricity. it doesn't bother him much. the dark is easier to navigate than the light. and his eyesight is bad enough regardless. but it's fine. he can weather it.
[ BB flinches at the question, surprised he would ask that immediately. More so, he was embarrassed that he came to ask her that - it felt like she were a stray cat wandering around a bit pathetically. ] Um... M-Maybe...? [ Well, there was, but when he asks so suddenly and upfront - BB finds herself contextualizing the whole situation and how stupid she feels for coming here. ]
[ A box is left outside Qifrey's Home, with the following items!
Obtained x10 A Small sakura flower that fell from a tree that will never age or die. It is clearly imbued with magic to make it this way. It seems like it can easily be crushed or destroyed by other means, though. Handle with care! x1 Wooden Tea Press x1 Teacup Set with Sakura blossoms on it x1 A Box of Chocolates
( Early Christmas morning, Basil drops off a small present wrapped in floral wrapping paper. Inside is a journal and a blue-colored blanket knitted for Qifrey. There's a note tucked inside of the journal.
Thank you for all the advice that you've given to me. I'll always treasure everything I've learned from you.
Me and Del are opening our new diner this Tuesday. We're calling it Lumturo, a lighthouse in a sea of cares! Come over for some good food, a good view, and if you're feeling brave, the stage will be open for anyone to have a crack at performing.
I'll reserve a table for you if you want to come, so tell all your mates too!
[Attached is more information and directions! It's located overlooking Stellari's airship docks.]
( Basil remembers that Qifrey had extended his offer to help Basil on more than one occasion, and Basil had been keeping some things to himself for some time now. In the past, he would keep his anxieties to himself, but this doesn't seem as dire. He doesn't have any big secrets to keep with what's been keeping him up at night.
He just... doesn't want to burden anyone... )
Hi, Qifrey...
How are you? It's been a while since we last talked...
[ She hadn't meant to delay this, but between the cafe launch and getting everything sorted, and now a busier schedule that involved working at the cafe, Haru's been preoccupied.
But there is something that sits on her mind when she returns home, prepares for bed, and lays in the dark while her thoughts run amok.
Tonight, she sits in her cafe after closing, Minato gone for the night and Haru insisting she can lock up on her own.
She sits at a table by herself, staring at the Oracle, searching for a name she's been hesitant to approach, but knows it would be unbecoming of a young woman like herself to not say anything. ]
[ Sip and Blossom closes exactly at 5 PM, but Haru unlocks the door for Qifrey when he arrives, motioning for him to take a seat anywhere while she meanders over to the counter where she has finished preparing a fresh, hot teapot. ]
I hope you don't mind I'm sampling a brand new tea I found in the market earlier this week. It has an interesting colour to it.
[ She carefully carries the pot over to the table on a tray with two teacups. Once that has been set, she's quick to grab a small, slightly tattered book from the counter as well. ]

Yes, I saw your graceful entrance quite clearly.

Akechi settles into his side of the boat - arms crossed over his chest, ignoring the drops of water from a close call on his shoe.]
There's a crowd that's difficult to maneuver around. I can only hope you don't have any issues leaving next.

I hope you don't mind I'm sampling a brand new tea I found in the market earlier this week. It has an interesting colour to it.
[ She carefully carries the pot over to the table on a tray with two teacups. Once that has been set, she's quick to grab a small, slightly tattered book from the counter as well. ]
And thank you for joining me, Qifrey-san.
time is crazy
[ he takes his seat politely, moving his long robes out of the way as they billow around him. his trademark cap remains on his head. ]
And thank you for inviting me. This was a lovely gesture.
