[ Throughout the new entry into the ever-growing list of Akechi Fun Facts! Maruki's focus slowly shifts from the nearly complete stir fry to the boy seated at the counter.

By elephant's foot would smash it down, his head is fully turned toward Akechi.

By so the body was broken with every step, his mouth has dropped open slightly and his eyes are wide behind his glasses.

At I thought that was interesting–

Maruki makes a noise that cannot possibly be quantified in any way. Part horrified, part baffled, part absurdly amused.

What the hell is Akechi's deal. ]

That's... Wow. Okay.

[ Another couple blinks at Akechi and then he shakes his head forcibly, almost violently, and returns his focus to the pan. He shifts the food around with the chopsticks that had been frozen in one hand, stares down at it for a moment longer – the chunks of leftover kabob meat, broken bits of a body smashed by an animal who wouldn't know any better what it was being used for.

His stomach lurches miserably. ]

You certainly have no shortage of interesting information to go around. I'm so grateful you seemingly always choose to share it with me.

[ Stop?? Doing this???? ]

How hungry are you?

[ BECAUSE MARUKI'S REALLY NOT, AFTER THAT STORY. ]
