[Well, he wanted to know if she had any beef with Beau — or anyone else. The reason why he cares is a little unclear.]
Whether we like it or not, Beauregard-san is our new... teammate. I wanted to know if there's anything I should be aware of before our collaboration can truly begin.
[AKECHI THIS ISN'T EVEN AN INTERROGATION???? One of her hands starts to nervously mess with her hair, visibly uncomfortable.]
...There really isn't anything, Akechi. My interactions with Beau have been somewhat minimal before now... I-I think she's going to ave to really be careful to be patient, but I... I think her connection to Phoenix will keep her from, um... doing anything too rash.
But... why does that have anything to do with you and her? I--
[...
Ah.
Her words cut off, expression suddenly pinching in mild confusion. Her hand pulls away from her face... and with it comes an unusually large amount of her hair.
...]
...Um. [Just. Staring at her new gift. Hm.] S-sorry.
[Just... self-consciously raising a hand to where she just lost a handful of her own hair... The flesh underneath is slightly translucent, like it's starting to detach.]
Something must have happened to my ABT, but... [That tight, almost uncomfortable expression remains, trying to make sense of the sudden alerts that were starting to flutter up, not painful but not quite right.]
Um... I'll... I'll ask the staff about it. It's okay. [hah.]

I'll be blunt: You reacted like you thought she was going to hit you. Did something happen?
no subject
No. Nothing happened with Beau.
I'm sorry if I worried the two of you. I... suppose it was a cowardly reaction, wasn't it...?
no subject
You're certain? You're not lying for her sake— or anyone else's, are you?
no subject
I'm certain that nothing happened between myself and Beau, yes. Just... unpleasant memories. That's all.
Akechi, if you truly have something to ask me, I... would prefer you stay blunt.

Whatever he was about to say disappears into the void because, uh. Holy shit? Holy shit.]
That's— Stop apologizing. [A little baffled? A little alarmed? Bafflarmed...] Is that normal?
[He's guessing... no? Which is bad, considering the very unfortunate death memory she shared with him.]
