[There's no sympathy as he watches Maruki - not a single move made to assist. It's a valuable lesson. A necessary skill to learn.
But he watches anyway. Limited distress in Maruki's movements, aches clearly slowing him. The sling will be an issue to contend with, but it's not Akechi's problem in the slightest.
Dinner might be limited for the next few weeks - that part sucks.
He leans against the back of his chair, injured arm raising moving up and out for a dramatic stretch.
It hurts, in the dulled way he's used to with safe room injuries. None of it shows on his face.]
Of course. What kind of a Detective Prince would I be if I couldn't handle a few monsters? I would put every hero to shame.
[Hero being a goddamn laugh, but it's all a part to play. Hilarious, honestly.
With the display over - he lets his arm drop back to his side to nurse his coffee.]
