Surprise Return. (Akira/Natsumi)

AKIRA TAIRITSU

Akira was relaxing as of right now, a stressful month had almost passed and his deployment to Africa on an official standpoint was coming quicker than he anticipated. So much had happened in so little time. The bench within the large city resided on the sidelines, feeling the oceanic breeze caress his hair whilst a hand penciled a ribcage and a bunch of theoretical nonsense about Kido. To him? Made perfect sense.

."Hrm. The reinforcement needs to be swifter, though no words truly reinforce the joint process. I could- Hrm…Actually…Twisting it into a larger structure could be better.”

AKIRA TAIRITSU

Vibing, Chillaxing all cool, then Boo!

Akira was within the confines of his headspace so when a random set of hands landed upon the shoulder, well a usual civility that the Shinigami held was completely thrown out the window as a left hand shot over, a sparking surge of midnight blue. Byakurai. Focused upon the tip was about to be fired as his head turned drastically, only to halt after finding Natsumi.

A fraction of a second displaying a set of indifferent gold hues, a lack of smile to match the usual warmth which then fluttered away as the man let out an exasperated exhale. The abrupt rise and waggle of a finger indicating a level of playful covering up from the light show.

."Natsumi! What in the name of the Cycle are you doing, sneaking upon individuals like that?! You could’ve been har- Killed me. It is a known fact that after eating a hearty meal ones own- You know. It doesn’t matter. How can I help you? How did you sneak without me hearing?”

It was an odd mix of inquiries but Akira was intent on finding which Solomon would talk more of.

AKIRA TAIRITSU

She really didn’t realize how close she was to a bolt piercing her lungs and collapsing the ability to intake oxygen did she? Dammit this girl is going to get herself during these situations. The man brushed himself down, tugging at the rim of the overcoat and raising a brow.

."You don’t know how to join the Vandenreich? Certainly though a cool trick, be cautious going forward when you sneak up on others. Impulse might cause a sit- Nevermind. There is a recruitment point several blocks from here, I’ll take you.”

He closed his book with a frustrated exhale.

."You know I recently ran into an individual like you, bright blue hair and seemed to share a few traits…In the…Most eccentric of ways. Sound familiar?”

AKIRA TAIRITSU

Akira chuckled softly at Natsumi’s retelling of that predicament, shifting about as the vast streets of the City came to be, though a little dulled. She was definitely an oddball with alot of trust after about a single encounter that didn’t go wrong. There was a tinge of guilt that rang throughout at the thought of her being exploited by some ass or other, yet it faded once recollection of her ability to use telekinetic energy came to the forefront of his mind.

He’d be fucked or she.

."You could say that, I noticed she was a little scruffy regarding clothing but that temperament reminded me of you. That Nastaha you spoke of could assist I imagine if they’re also close with you? It’s difficult to keep track but many within the City seem to have a soft spot for helping. Myself included.”

He chuckled softly.

."What was your anger for that day anyway?.”

AKIRA TAIRITSU

There was a rapid blink at the sudden outburst of territoriality from Natsumi, causing a soft nod which was more of shock as each eyebrow raised into a thousand yard stare. A pair of golden iris’s only adding a dramatic flare to this stare, coming to then merely drop subject of both Natasha and the incident. She didn’t seem emotionally self aware enough for that type of talk or too anxious to embrace those kinds of engagements.

."We’re almost there, a centralized facility that’ll handle your application. You’ll have to choose a branch of the Vandenreich though, I have mentioned it before but the three column consist of Scientific affairs, Desk work and Fighting. Once they take your measurements it should be smooth sailing from there.”

Akira though was a little curious about something.

."So you doing this to impress your mother then? You must love her alot to help in this way.
