[okay, well!! he wasn't expecting that. not that he's going to refuse it, but he expected a signature cheek smooshing or a nose pull and not a kiss.]
Ah. Midboss down.
[just.
flatly.
(he's amused, he loves them both so much??)]
She might need this.
[where did akira procure a revival bead from? who the hell knows, but it's funny.]

[yeah, Akira's story is far from finished. . . but the other parts? the parts about his role, about the people he killed, about Haru, about how the Chiefs purposefully held her wellbeing over his head to get him to participate? she'll only tell that with explicit permission]
[she cants her head to the side to regard Akira with an even expression, but says nothing]

[pleasant surprises!!]
. . . are you going to make her a necklace?
[bead?? necklace?? she doesn't know wtf those are, okay, they have life bottles where she comes from]

[what]
Uho! Now isn't that the best sort of jewelry to give to an adventuring girl.
[she jokes, but wtf. how does a bead revive people. how do bottles revive people though, idk, rpg mechanics!!]

[Her hand clenches around the revival bead and then she's totally shoving it into her pocket.
Hah. It's hers now.
She sits up abruptly, tilting her head at Magilou. And she wags her finger, mock-scoldingly.]
Nuh-uh, I'm support. The rest of you can fight things and use revival items and things.
[She's got a sweet-ass spaceship and she's not afraid to use it.]

... We're here for you, you know. You were on your own in that place, but it's not like that here. You're our leader, so you should rely on us.
[ he won't press any more information out of Akira on his own; he's not the type. But the two of them do everything together, and Morgana wants him to know that they can carry this burden together, too. He sits down on his haunches on the counter, tail curled around his body, and looks up at his human friend with those blue eyes that are just a little too clever for a cat. When he's ready.
Until then... his gaze shifts to Magilou, and he twitches his whiskers. ]
... So? Who's this girl? Is she an alien?
[ she's from another world, right?! ]

[So they put everyone through something terrible just for people to come back alive and well... Somehow it doesn't sound as though it'd be satisfying for all of those involved. Further, he doesn't understand the point of it all.
He grimaces as he looks at Akira.]
Why put everyone through that?
[It doesn't escape him that Akira's still stalling, skirting, and the unease only grows. ]

[she's going to have to put that revival bead back in the item pool during the next mementos crawl! but it's fine, akira doesn't seem very fussed about it either way.]
I don't know if you'll need it, but I guess we'll have to outfit you with some stuff.
[if magilou's ever going to fight near them—which he imagines she will because she probably wants to see the phantom thieves in action and experience the metaverse a bit.]
I might be disappointed if you go down enough to need a revival bead, though.
[he's teasing, it's fine.]

[how many times has Styx needed to use a Life Bottle on Magilou b/c her defense is paper thin--]
Please. I may be a witch, and my stat priority may be my attack and arte attack stats, but that doesn't mean I can't take a hit or two.

I know, Morgana. And I'll tell you everything, because you should know what happened.
[...] In a few minutes.
[he'll get back to it, really and honestly. it's a declaration of intent; if nothing else, morgana and magilou both with probably make sure he stops stalling eventually.
for now?]
A witch, actually.
[he's. completely serious abut that part.]

If we lost, we wouldn't have been that lucky. And we came close to losing.
[he'll get to the personal details. he's working up to it.
...it's harder than he would have expected it to be, though.]
I'm not sure anyone knows why it happened, though.

[AHA!! as soon as Akira refers to her by her proper title, Magilou props her hands on her hips, squares her shoulders, and gives Morgana the sharpest smile she can manage]
That's right. ☆ Only the most feared witch on this side of the universe! Fresh from a three year stay in the isolated island prison of Titania, I am back to wreak havoc and chaos wherever I go!
[at least she isn't giving Morgana the long, fake name along with her introduction]

Nobody asked, as far as I know. A mistake on our part.
[she shoots Akira a look and a shrug]
But I doubt the Chiefs would've answered that question with honesty and seriousness anyway.

That part was a given.
[ But she nods, glancing between the two of them before she settles down in one of the booths. ]
But I'm ready to listen when you're ready to start.

Island prison... ? What kind of shady character did you bring back with you?
[ A WITCH WHO WAS IN PRISON FOR THREE YEARS?? they're a bunch of thieves, so they probably can't talk, but havoc and chaos also aren't their goals, so?? He tilts his head at Magilou, then stands up, taking a few steps down the counter to peer at her. ]
... You've been coming here a lot... And you've been spending a lot of time with him. I can tell. Are you two actually...?

[hops over to the booth, immediately sliding into a seat across from Makoto]
You really are a no-nonsense kind of person, hm. . .
You really are a no-nonsense kind of person, hm. . .
You two are polar opposites that way.
[he's fine with noting that casually; they really are polar opposites in all ways, and akira's a good balance between them.
he'll make a move to sit as well; casually, next to magilou seems best, since... well, between needing a bit of magilou's support and knowing he needs to face makoto directly, it seems like the best position for it.]
Now I guess is finding a good starting point.
[it's a long story, after all.
...he wonders if he should have just gathered all the phantom thieves and told them all at once, but it seems so daunting.]

You know I've been in jail twice, right... we're all shady characters.
[morgana, please! they're all shady!]
She's... like us in a lot of ways, prison or not.
[an outcast, an outsider. someone who doesn't quite fit in and has a reason to be wary about other people. so akira just sighs softly, faintly amused.] A lot happened with us over those five weeks.
[yeah, they're ACTUALLY, but he knows magilou has her own hangup, so she can address that on her own.]

[on the bright side, she's getting a little less about those hangups as time goes on. evident by the cheeky response she gives Morgana]
Oh my! A lady doesn't kiss and tell.
[YOU'RE NOT A LADY MAGILOU]
And a witch is strictly prohibited from speaking of matters of the heart, anyway. Witch's Code, Section 17, Line 183. Look it up.

[ yeah but "island prison for three years" makes it sound like she killed a man and got put into alcatraz?! obviously, akira would never do such a thing . . . . . .
he squints up at Akira as he speaks - once again, he trusts his judgement, so he decides this girl is probably fine. Her goofy way of talking sort of reminds him of Futaba... Maybe that's why they ended up getting along. ]
I can't believe you went to some kind of crazy battle royale and came back with a new girlfriend... As expected of our Joker, I guess. Well, I won't judge you. [ Morgana licks his paw idly, eyes flicking up to Magilou. ] What's so witchy about you?

[he can't judge if she killed a man, he killed people too. and she killed him? it's all even and fair, even if they haven't gotten to that part of the story.
either way, akira just shrugs. coming home with a girlfriend from murder island is definitely like him, and he figures he should leave the witchy explanations to magilou. until she gets out of control, which he'll then temper a bit.]
