And neither was my statement.
[It was, actually.
But he walks on - quiet and pensive. No Eren to settle the ire between strong willed individuals. Akechi will need to refrain and-
It's easy to do when he's acting. So he does.]
You don't seem like the type to be up this late. I assume something's on your mind.

[She gives him
[a look
[as though he might have just proposed they hold hands and sing Vaeros’ praises. Some other stupid, unthinkable thing.
[Then again, stupid, unthinkable things happen all the time here. Hell with it. Aubrey readjusts the sling over her shoulder just to mess with something.]
What do you think, Akechi. [Mostly a sigh, but not without inflection: Are you fucking stupid?] Isn’t he on yours?
[He'll be dead, if all happens as he thinks it will. None of this matters. He doesn't give a shit if BB thinks he'll follow this path.]
When I settle into a permanent career after college, I'll likely marry someone whose goals align with my own. If I'm still a celebrity, it may be arranged behind the scenes. That's the path most take.
Why are you asking?

Whoa wait, whats traditional about that?
Answer me seriously and BB will tell you.
Answer me seriously and BB will tell you.
Like... Just traditional, it just means getting married?
BB doesn't believe you; you don't want to get married and have goals aligned. The guy who went crazy in my void space and shot me through the heart!!!
URE TO BLAMEEEE
darling you give love a bad nameeeee!!
ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª
anyway, okay is that what tradition means in your culture? To just get married?

No, though I've never been the sentimental type. I was happy he managed to find a way back to his reality and haven't thought of him since.
[Not one time. Not once. Not even ten seconds ago, when he was reminded in front of a castle.
He opts to not look at Aubrey. He can Feel Her Gaze.]
Though I should have been less careless with my words, knowing you two were dating. My apologies.

[Yeah, okay. She can buy that.
[In some other reality, maybe.]
You think he did it on purpose? [The question isn’t yearning so much as… resigned, mainly. That he would return and see his horrible future to the end, whatever it entailed—that’s never been up for question.
[But people’s untimely ejections from Somnius are rarely, if ever, celebrated.]
Going back, I mean. I know he kept you all moving… makes for a hell of a final charge, I guess.
[He never stopped—]
There are very people who I believe could break through reality if they found a way - he is among those few. However, I doubt it was of his volition.
[It's too abrupt for a guy like him, who forced himself into the lives of many and become the focus of them. Akechi doubts he would leave without grabbing his little entourage of lovers, or saying goodbye. Doubts he would leave Maruki without a word, and only a few memories between them.]
Regardless, he got us through when we needed him and went back to where he belonged. That's the goal. We can only be grateful it wasn't in the midst of battle or I doubt our venture into that future would have gone well.

[“Where he belonged.” What does Akechi know of that future, anyway? Surely not more than Aubrey....
[It’s not hers to say, anyway.
[Aubrey’s quiet for a while. Swallows, drags her eyes off the ground that they’ve wandered towards. If they were hiking at the rate they all did that morning, they probably could’ve rounded the castle a time and a half by now.
[They’re not.]
Maybe that’s it. [When she does talk, it’s just a mutter into the night.] Show up, do what you’re supposed to, change people… and go.
[It’s good that he was there. She’s glad....]
[HE JUST IGNORES. THE SONG LYRICS? what's love got to do with marriage bb???]
I will admit it's not a priority for me at this time, nor do I want to be married. I'll do as expected to fulfill whatever commitments I'm required to though. I have no preference on the matter.
My culture has many traditions - regarding marriage, interactions with others, etc. You would have to be more specific.
It may be easier for you to get to the point of this questioning.

[A part of him wants to needle Aubrey - push her to a breaking point and see if that grief can shatter reality in front of his eyes.
The other half of him is too tired to care about fucking Eren and whatever bizarre relationship they shared. Aubrey wants to talk about him. Akechi doesn't care about him. A prince should listen. He can feign. That's all there is to it.
He continues on, as always.]
That's an interesting thought. How much can you change a person? Can you ever prove they changed to begin with? How many is enough, and is there more value given to changing the lives of some versus others? For those that have been here for years, are their relationships worthless in comparison to a man here less than that?
[The pulls at the edge of his gloves, until his fingertips dig into the fabric.]
I doubt it's that intricate. It's the will of a madman that brought us here - us leaving likely has nothing to do with how others are changed. After all, wouldn't you have been pulled away by now, given what you've done for some?

What isn't a priority, LOVE? WHAT THAT'S SO STRAIGHT EDGE?
Yeah, that's why BB is asking. She has knowledge of all of Earth from over the past 4,000 years. I don't know what traditions matter. Which one? What ones matter? What does this mean?
I AM ASKING!! BB IS ASKING!! ITS THE POINT BB IS ASKING!!! ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡) Sometimes BB doesn't have ulterior motives, you know!

[Philosophical question begets philosophical answer. Akechi’s through it all before Aubrey can decide if she’s annoyed or grateful, and then it’s over, and so it doesn’t really matter.]
Eh… [A sigh, slow.] Maybe so. [Eren had changed her. It was impossible to deny she’d changed others in turn; she saw that arm every day.
[Surely Akechi had changed, too. It’d been long enough.]
I guess you can’t always tell for sure. Whether you’ve changed someone and all that.
But, I mean. [Loosely, so light it could be a cause for offense in its own right, Aubrey elbows Akechi. It’s a nudge to nowhere, really.] Bet you wouldn’t be going on 2AM walks back in Tokyo.
[He doesn't believe for one goddamn second there isn't a motive behind this. He'll sus it out BB........]
Not particularly. If it's done to maintain my status, I'll have little choice who I marry. If it's left up to me, I doubt I'll concern myself over until I must.
As far as traditions, my culture varies greatly from others on Earth. Importance is relative to society's standards across the globe. If you're asking which traditions matter to me, I have no preference. You're better off asking Maruki-san for that. He seems to be quite opiniated on many things - I assume this is one of them.

[ FIGURE IT OUT THEN DETECTIVE!! ]
Huh, okay, status... In a traditional sense. That makes sense, especially for political reasons.
Hmmmmmm, is he traditional 2? (¬`‸´¬)

Okay to the old man BB goes then! But to be honest, BB thinks it was better to ask you than him since you are more like that. UMMM - that age, if that makes sense? Maybe talking to dad will make things too traditional?
I see. How fortunate.
In reference to your earlier comment, he tends to hold modern beliefs and works with teenagers in our reality. That has given him access to a wider array of perspectives that he tends to hold close.
My upbringing wasn't traditional, nor is my life now, so despite my age, I'm likely not the best candidate for such questions. If you have specific or concise ones, I'll answer to the best of my ability. Otherwise, please defer to him.
