[They are good, well behaved dogs. There's a strong temptation to lay the groundwork for Maruki to have to explain their appearance with subtle, innocent inquiries to Vash, but-

For now, he hears Maruki. Sees her smile. She asks a question that Akechi is all too happy to answer with the utmost confidence.

He knows for a fact that he's unarmed and without a persona. It's not like either one of them will get hurt from a surprise appearance.]

Oh, I think I'll let that be a secret. It's confirmed he's there, so feel free to simply walk into his room. He has no self-preservation skills, unfortunately. He doesn't lock his door. Ever.

[He's such a Good Boy that he even opens his bedroom door for her to leave.

Get out.]

Please leave the dogs in my care for now - I only ask that you don't come into my room again in return.
