I'm Akechi. [ He finally manages to say, post coming out of his momentary trance. ] Pleased to make your acquaintance, Link-san.
[ He still eyes the coin with a frown, though, hoping it comes off as hesitation rather than plain ol' suspicion. No no, this is definitely not right, it must be trap. (Or: Goro Akechi does not recognize simple acts of kindness from his peers.) ]
I appreciate your offer, but I must decline. I know the value of information, and it wouldn't be fair that I should be rewarded instead of offering compensation. [ He still has SOME social tact, so: ] How about we compromise on each paying for our own drinks, in that case?
