[he pulls himself to his feet and walks Eichi back to their room. he dries himself off and changes, flops onto the bed he shares with Eichi, and just. . . stays there for the rest of the day]
[Eichi is probably out PCing with someone, but Akechi is here by himself when Rebecca comes knocking. feel free to say hello to your fellow Historian!1]
[at least this time Akechi doesn't creep in the shadows before approaching Sanji. probably because he looks. . . pretty haggard? and worn down. and tired. though not nearly as unhinged as he was when he had that li'l public meltdown in front of Ion's glass casket]
[he's haggard and obviously panicked, raking a hand through his hair when he finds Varian. he tries to keep his voice even when he speaks, but. it's a Struggle]
[anyway after that breakdown, Akechi is going to find his favorite Vizier! he looks. um. not. . . well, expression haggard, gaze darting about like he's expecting someone to have followed him]
[sometime Thursday afternoon, Akechi waits for Eichi in their shared room. he sits on the edge of the bed, fingers drumming against the mattress. and when Eichi returns--]
[you know what's creepy about Akechi?? when he wants to talk to someone, he kind of stalks them for a bit first. anyway, hi Veronica, Akechi is reaching out to you from THE SHADOWS~~~]
Good evening, Veronica-san. A moment of your time?
