[Hi. Hello. Don't mind him as he walks into the kitchen, intent on acquiring one (1) apple and then booking it. He's ready to make a beeline for the fresh produce, when he glances towards the appliances and—]
—Anya-san?!
[... spots Anya trying to pull something out of the oven with her bare ass hands, ig. WILL HE HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PULL HER AWAY OR WILL SHE STOP WITH JUST YELLING... You're so mean to her, Dana.]
[HER HEARING STILL WORKS - and so she blinks to attention when she hears her name, pulling her hands back after just her fingertip manages to make contact with the pan.]
Oh?
[IT
DOESN'T HURT.
So she doesn't notice that she forgot to put the oven mitts back on this time as she looks to Akechi.]
[Well. No pain is a whole ass mood, but that doesn't mean this is a thing she should be forgetting. Unfortunate. She didn't actually grab it, though, so that's good enough for him... He sighs out of relief as he approaches her.]
You should be wearing oven mitts. Are you alright?
visibly fretting. she's murmuring softly to herself in Russian as she paces back and forth and back and forth and - peers into the kitchen before sticking her head back out and trying to rub at her eyes - which are already a bit red]
[she's nodding!! and will even - enter. but like carefully? she's picking up the train of her dress just in case, and looks like she's.... stepping around things]
Slime on floor... Spills... Water?
[and she'll turn back to akechi - ]
But... you do not see?
[she sounds frustrated, but also not particularly surprised]
[Yeah... That's fair. He furrows his eyebrows as he watches her carefully step around what he imagines must be an incredibly messy kitchen, even if all looks neat and tidy as far as his perception goes.]
I don't. I imagine it's the same phenomenon we experienced last week.
[It's frustrating. He absolutely hates it. And— Oh.]
Babo Kim and I found a trail in the garden this morning. There was slime there, too. But we were unable to take a closer look before we were chased off by spiders.
Good. I do not want you to be hurt. [she's so direct about things]
Mm, but if... slime was by the spiders... Other places with slime maybe? [she looks around the kitchen] Nia wanted to know more cooking... Maybe found her here?
... Haha, was it that obvious? My presence isn't always welcome, so, I...
[...
He shakes his head.]
No, nevermind that. More importantly, you may be right. She could have been fast enough to avoid serious injury here, only to be caught outside. [Hrm... He taps his chin.] Though, of course, that's as long as the story doesn't accurately reflect her thoughts at the time.
[Haruka's seemed... close? Close-ish enough, anyway, even if it wasn't a perfect 1:1 parallel.]
[HELLO, ANYA. Once she heads out to stargaze, she will eventually run across Akechi in the playground. He's sitting on one of the swings, glaring at the ground like he's trying to burn a hole through it... which is probably understandable, given everything that happened. It's fine.
Luckily for her, he does look up when he hears her approach. Blinks at her. Immediately glances down to her hand.]
... Anya-san. [...] Your fingers. Should you be out here?
[her hand is - bandaged with whatever they could find, at least. she immediately hides it behind her back once he glances at it though, like she's embarrassed for it to be seen. she knows it's childish though - given that she just lets out a soft breath]
... just 'Anya' is okay.
[for the record, since akira did that to her today too]
... I do not want to be in house. [and she asks, almost unsurely] Компания? Okay to sit with you?
... Even if public - I do not know if you want to be alone.
[but given that she has permission now, she will take the seat next to him. one hand goes to hold onto the chain of the swing while the other sits on her lap]
