[Akechi has spent most of his time just trying to figure out how he should proceed from that point forward. His life was basically gone and there was no sense trying to cling to faulty ideals that obviously weren't worth keeping around. But what did he have to fall back on? He had no idea how to really feel about a lot of things. Meanwhile his emotions sure did a number on him while going through the motions.
Hearing him thank him was surprising enough to make him glance away from the boy, focusing instead on the curry as an excuse. Ren might even notice that faint flush on his cheeks with his confused grimace. Isn't he supposed to hate Ren? Why couldn't he bring himself to stick to his guns here? Thankfully the phone call was a welcome distraction for all of a few minutes.]
C-Catch up...? [Now he was really feeling a bit flustered. Just who did Ren think he was?] You make it sound like we're old friends.
[That may have had some bite to it, but mostly because this was unknown territory right now. How do you even deal with something like this?]
