[ All suspicion surrounding the self-claimed titles of an eager teenager die when he's stopped from activating a trap outside of his immediate vision. Akechi hadn't let down his guard - not for a moment, but he didn't see it. Didn't notice. Didn't think a home would be set up like a palace entrance.
He takes the explanation in stride. It's not crazy or irrational - it's logical in a world full of unknowns. Rats of any sort should be caught if they intrude.
The runes, letters, notes - all go beyond him. Akechi looks at each one anyway. Listens to the excited rambles of someone who must know he can't understand in-depth, but tries regardless. Finds this resource useful and asks questions with answers that are basic and routine to someone immersed.
It ends in the kitchen. Varian seems to be dancing around a topic, but he can't fathom what it could be. Focuses on what is being said instead. A desire to bring life to this world in the form of a machine.
Akechi sits content with the half eaten brownie slice in front of him, the hot chocolate a gesture he accepts easily enough. He doesn't particularly care what's set in front of him - he feigns gratitude all the same. ]
I wonder...
[ One gloved hand splays and presses into the paper of grandiose creations. ]
The easiest way would be to ask the crystal to do the thinking for you, but I have a feeling you're not interested in such an unsatisfying solution.
[ It's a robot, automaton. Whatever it's called, it likely needs- ]
I can think of a few scenarios - a computer chip, for one. There are those here who deal in magic and have powers that may be easier to learn in such a world. Ah...I suppose you've thought of that. Still, a creation like this may be welcome by Dreamers, but not by those native to this world. It's difficult to say.
