[ Good. What a quaint place? Though Akira knows very little about Goro and Akira's father, just that he's not a very nice man overall. Morrigan peeks outside of the bag, showing a bright blue eye through the small opening before darkness takes over again.
There's a small wave. ]
Hey—it's still kind of weird for me to also call you Akira...
[ He rubs his neck awkwardly as he enters, politely staying in the front the entryway as he peels off his shoes. ]
[ It's really a thread... As threatening as someone following him into the living room can be. He takes the nearest seat, tugging as his bangs sheepishly. ]
Yes—water, please. Thank you.
[ Back to being polite in someone else's home. If Akira leaves for a bit, then it gives him an opportunity to scan the place ]
The living room itself is fairly uninspiring. It's neat--very neat, much neater than it probably would have been when their father lived there. Akira likes his things to be crisp and clean and it's clear an effort has been made to tidy the place up despite the fact that it isn't the nicest building. The carpet has been recently vacuumed and the couch is old. The television isn't on and there are some DVDs stacked next to it. There's a stack of magazines on the coffee table, mostly political or whatever Recolle's equivalent of "Discovery" is.
The bookshelf is fairly empty--most of the books Akira cares about are in his own room--but a few mismatched fiction novels are stacked neatly on one shelf. There's a photo frame that's been turned face down. If inspected, it will show a picture of the boys with their father. One of Goro's high school pictures is in its own frame on the wall, as are a couple of Akira's achievement awards.
No, the living room itself isn't terribly interesting. ]
[ ... Well, this sure is a nice living room. Akira's eyes just glaze when a there's no bright blue glow, wondering how he should present himself while the other Akira is gone. Maybe look through his magazines? That's normal—with a quick browse, he chooses the most recent issue of whatever Recolle happenings.
Morrigan sticks his head out of the bag, glimpsing over the magazine as if reading along. Might as well come up with nicknames until a headline catches his attention. ]
What about Kirara? [ ... ] Kiki.
[ Aki would be the easiest choice, but it was also his nickname in childhood. ]
[ When the older Akira comes back with two glasses of water, he pauses at the door. ]
If you call me "Kiki" I'll be forced to kick you out. House rules.
[ But if the younger Akira keeps his Third Eye open long enough, he will see that there's a strange glow coming from Akira(I)'s back pocket, where he normally keeps his wallet.
He holds a glass out in offering once he crosses the room. ]
[ Noooo!! He doesn't want to get kicked out, so he hushes up pretty quickly and takes the glass. The little glowing blue fragment doesn't escape him, but he doesn't keep his eyes there. It would look too suspicious.
He focuses on carrying on with the conversation of choice, the "reason" he paid a visit. ]
I'll figure something out. [ Dramatic sigh... Akiras they shall be for now. ] Anyway, I should tell you the bar we need to jump here.
[ God, thinking back on it, why did he do this? ]
So... For our 6-month anniversary, I thought it was a good idea to build him a hut in the forest.
[ What's wrong with admiring butts?? Stop staring at him like that. He shifts a bit in his seat, deflecting any judgment with his glasses. Just bounce right off the lens. ]
I guess? I also added a sunroof to it. [ Uhm. ] I'm not sure how I can beat that unless I get him a frill-necked lizard.
Or he's just full of shit. He's known the younger man for being a little odd, but he can hardly imagine that anyone would think that Goro would enjoy...that. ]
That sounds expensive.
[ He leans back in his chair. ]
You're right, that's a big problem. And that's why you cam here, hm? To ask me what I would do?
[ Then Akira(I) has never asked Goro about his love for lizards yet... If only Akira was making this up because he actually isn't. The amount of times Goro has mentioned his love for 1) reptiles, 2) specifically frill-necked lizards, 3) enough to trump the lovable and so much more superior feline can't be counted with two hands?
Your half-brother is a weirdo. ]
Yeah, I imagine so. [ Stroking his chin, he thinks of his savings. Gone. Nodding, he continues to explain: ] I first went to ask his mother—I thought she would give the best advice, but she told me "as long as you two enjoy the day, I'm sure he'll be happy."
[ Vague, aimless "advice." This is one of the truths to the lie, so take it. ]

But Mr. Turner doesn't feel right, either.

That would definitely make me sound a little old. You could always call me the "better, wiser Akira"?
[ It's a joke, of course. He leads Akira(II) away from the entrance to the small living area. ]
Would you like something to drink?

[ Akira nods. ]
I'll be right back.

Well, she isn't wrong.
[ Different mothers, of course, but she's a pleasant enough woman that Akira(I) has never felt anything particularly untoward. ]
To be quite honest, your relationship has lasted longer than any of mine.

Really...? [ ??????????? ] That's surprising.

Is it? I've always prioritized school over dating.
[ School and clubs and work and extracurricular activities to prove he's anything but his father and everything better than those around him. ]
Maybe you should be giving me advice instead.
