[ ... 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. ]

He takes a seat in a nearby chair and a sip from his own glass.

Akira(II) is clearly insane.
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. ]

Ah well. No one is perfect. ]
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.
