"Understood, Morphy."
-As for what Sal said...-
"...?"
-He's... not really sure how to respond to that. He's never really been confident...-
-...Then again he was never really lacking in self-esteem either.-
-He knows what both terms mean now, but he's never really experienced them...-
"Am I confident?"
-And apparently he has a nice grip!-
"Thank you."
-He begins assisting Morph Moth with the parts.-

Eires glanced away- and back.
"Oh, fuck me."

Tapping the paper for effect, she continued.
"I can't verify this myself, but-"
She sighed.
"I deal with stuff at least half as strange as this pretty regularly, and if there's a single chance that something like your recipient- uh, 15 here is telling the truth about their age, I need to know."
[forum cryptid: it/it's](VERY FERVENT NOD, nearly losing her doofy little tam o' shanter in the process.)

“Having an object of great value stolen from me, I came to this place in pursuit of its thief, Cori Magistralis. I, after a long spot of trial, recovered this demon, but my Ring had already been irrevocably consumed. I now wait here for the end of our days, when Ganymede, vanguard of the magnificent Jupiter, will come and devour our souls in accordance with the Law.”
(...a rather damning excerpt.)

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?"Neither of us are from around here." Akane started, measuring her words out.
"I appreciate that someone else picked up, in more...scientific terms, what this area is, but if you, or I, are going to investigate that, it's a risky business. I have a few of my own duties to attend to but...call me trusting, I want you to keep your ears out for anything interesting. I can't let this one go if there's a chance there's an iota of truth in it. Against everything else, stay vigilant."

(There's some SNIFFIN noise... but no speaking yet.)

(maybe telling Big Tall Friend Akane about the Roger situation would help...?)
(Imagines Akane learning about Andy's existence and swearing to destroy her alongside Roger for being such a immense and present danger to the room by virtue of existence.)
…
(...well, maybe... maybe she'd be more understanding... maybe she'd sympathize with the lass and... Snap Roger in half over her knee and bicycle-kick him over the roof OH NO OH GOD)

-OK, this is new.-
-...Oh! He read this in the dictionary. It's a 'handshake'! It's used for greetings?-
-Understood.-
"I am no longer 108."
-Still smiling a bit.-
"I am just Aichi."
-And that...-
"I am happy...!"
-...Makes him happy!-
