[ Roxas figures he might as well try as best as he can, and really...their situation warranted that they should at least try to be there for each other. The blond had his own worries, admittedly, about Akira, about what could happen now, but this still was for the most part an attempt at a distraction. ]
... I'm glad. [ That he likes it to say that much, from what he can tell anyway. ] I didn't really have anything to start us off with, but I did mean what I said about that earlier too. We could talk a little, maybe about things back home.
[that's a little surprising, actually. if anything, Akira expected everyone to lecture him about the choices he made at the trial today. Roxas asking him to talk about things back home is something he hadn't predicted at all, even though they had breached the subject before]
Sure. . . I don't mind.
[but it's. . . nice. to forget about the game, even for a little bit]
Is there something in particular you're curious about?
[ If Roxas tried to lecture Akira, he'd probably end up crying from worrying so much and saying it all so he knows that's not going to be a good time. In a way he gets off lucky on that count, and he might've also figured others would be yelling at him too. ]
...Can you tell me a little bit about the people back at your home? Some of those that you've met that've helped you make good memories in your life.
[ He knows Akira knows Makoto and Iwai, but he wants to know more about Akira and the people who helped him become who he is today. ]
[ Roxas was a little worried it'd be too personal, but he was prepared to see about changing it to something else if it was too much.
But hey at the question he'll nod, but... ]
I don't think I've spoken to Makoto much - she seems okay from what I've seen too. But Iwai? Yeah, I've spoken to him a few times and he seems like a really nice guy. He's serious, but he's not too serious. He can have a bit of a funny side too.

[context clues lead him to that conclusion as he takes a bite of the ice cream bar. it is pretty good, a perfect blend of salty and sweet]
In a place like this, I feel like we need to take any kind of comfort we can get. Don't you?
no subject
[ It's really the best snack to share with friends.
But, he'll nod. ]
Yeah, especially when there's only a few things comforting about this place.
no subject
. . . anyway. I appreciate it.
[Roxas is kind, Akira thinks]

I knew Makoto and Iwai before I came here. They're both a pretty big reason I'm the person I am today, actually.
Have you spoken to either of them much?
[he'll get into his other friends, of course, but he wants to talk about those two first. since they're here and all]

[AKIRA??]
But one of those assholes with a heart of gold. I respect him a lot.
He knows that, so don't tell him I said it.
[or else he might get a whack to the head]
no subject
Okay, so ... "go ahead and tell Iwai that you said that", got it!
[ He's grinning like a little shit now. ]
no subject
. . . that's the opposite of what I said!
no subject
Yep, it is, isn't it?
no subject
Ah. . . I see. You're that kind of person.
no subject
If by 'that kind of person' you mean 'a person that's full of fun', you're right.
