[ ryo can handle akira having a girlfriend but someone taking the childhood friend role is a step too far. he is going to start the apocalypse again. ]
Well, hopefully she's not dead in a ditch somewhere. I'll be going now.
[He blinks under the forehead hand. Squints a bit thoughtfully.]
I don't know... I was really dizzy after all the spiders and scorpions attacked us. [...More thinking.] I... couldn't remember being Devilman, I think.
I can’t help she is, like, one of the only girls here our age.
[His innate heterosexuality…]
You said it didn’t matter if there was a girl. [Just pointing that out before he sighs.] Gideon and her like each other anyway. At least, Gideon loves her. I think Harrowhark isn’t from the same time as Gideon. Like us. Gideon is ahead.
[ he meant miki!! he meant he didn't mind if it was miki, not whoever the fuck all these other girls he knows nothing about. at least ryo knew what he was dealing with when it came to her.
but he won't explain that. ]
Mm. I know what killed Harrowhark and sent her here, and she said that Gideon knows what happened after that. [ hmmm. ] Well, Gideon had said that Harrowhark hadn't acted any differently with the drink, so the attraction might go both ways.
[ it's said very neutrally-- he doesn't really care, after all, but it is good information to have. it explains a lot about them. ]
[Unfortunately, he now knows this isn't necessarily the case. The last part. He's... just... not sure how to navigate this with Ryo. With Ryo's feelings, with any of his own feelings.]

now he's just annoyed that akira is obviously suspicious of this tea. ]
What about your mate?
no subject
Mate...? [His laugh is kinda a huff.] She's my friend. We've been friends a long time. I thought she was bringing me the tea.
no subject
GAZES INTO THE ABYSS. ]
How long have you been friends with her, Akira?
no subject
Since we were kids.
no subject
I see. That must be nice. To have a childhood friend.
no subject
Hold on, he has to sneeze. Away from the tea.]
Yeah? She was alone and didn't have anyone, and I didn't want her to be alone or scared. So I decided to be her friend.
no subject
he just nods. ]
Is that so? And how did that go?
no subject
Okay, I guess...? We went to school together and did other things together. We were friends for a long time.

no subject
Okay...? If you see Harrowhark, tell her I'm still here.
[Very hilarious.
He sneezes again suddenly, this one a little deeper. He blinks after the freeze you do post-sneeze.]
...Ryo? [He glances down.] Oh. Thanks for bringing me the tea.
no subject
he's just going to walk over and put a hand over his forehead ]
Are you cursed? Did getting stung do something to you?
no subject
I don't know... I was really dizzy after all the spiders and scorpions attacked us. [...More thinking.] I... couldn't remember being Devilman, I think.
no subject
[ well, hopefully it wears off soon. ]
You were just telling me about how Harrowhark is a dear friend from when you were kids. She was very lonely.
no subject
Ryo got replaced…]
I hate this place sometimes.
no subject
[ hell stinks. granted the reason why ryo thinks this is different to why other people do. ]
Well, if it happens again you can go hang out with her.

I told her that. [Gideon, he means. He is still LOOKING at Ryo.] But my point is the same, they probably like each other.
Are you jealous...?
no subject
[ he says this like they didn't just reveal he's in love with akira ]
no subject
Just wondering...
[He is clearly not convinced, but he won't argue.]
no subject
I'm very well aware it wouldn't happen. Don't worry, I don't care.
no subject
Okay. Thanks for the tea, Ryo.
no subject
Right. Don't do anything stupid.
[ but he'll take this as akira telling him to leave so
bye ]
