[ there's something about the way that akechi finally snaps that is fascinating to flat. he smiles through it, his interest thinly veiled behind those all too bright blue eyes that continue observing everything.

in contrast to akechi's condescension, flat replies with the same levity and lightheartedness that he's carried himself with throughout this entire exchange. he lifts his arms up to the side of his head as a display of nonviolence. ]

Haha, if you want to use me, then you should just ask. As long as it's not outrageous, it's natural to help those in need! [ or not really, remembering their servant's words, but it's a habit that's hard to shake off. ] Unfortunately, I don't have the means to fight either, which is why I wanted your help, but I guess you're powerless like me. You could have also just said that from the beginning, so I think the only one wasting time your time was...well, you.

[ he called himself a feral monster and talking about going on a rampage... the last thing that flat expected was for him to be completely powerless. what a twist! flat might even be trying to feel a bit sorry for him... ]

I don't really mind, though. I think talking to you has been pretty fun, actually!
