[Yeah... Minato has the added perspective of being dead, so it doesn't surprise him that so much time has passed.
He'll be more confused when he realizes Souji is alive and yet there's still that weird time issue. Right now, he's just assuming he's been dead for--what, 7 years?]
... I see.
I guess it'd be silly to ask how things are in 2017, considering you had some sort of Journey to face, but...
[... It still makes him happy, to think of the world continuing on, even just for a few years longer.]
[of course he does. that's a wild card thing, isn't i?]
They were stagnated for a really long time. But. . . [. . .] I think they have the potential to grow now.
[a potential that they had given up before. a potential he believes in wholeheartedly. but it's still a potential he has yet to see realized from the inside of his prison cell]
Your fight must have been pretty tough, from the sounds of that. But... I'm glad. I'm glad things are okay now. Thank you for making sure that they would be.
[drums his fingers against the Evoker handle, before lifting the summoning device up and staring at it. and then. . . quietly, carefully, he presses the barrel against his temple. his finger is not on the trigger, though]
. . . I don't know why that's something worth being thanked for.
[a small shrug, and then he lowers the Evoker back into his lap]
I saw a problem, and I did my best to fix it. Just like any decent person should.
... Someone doing something good... is worth thanking them for, I think.
I'm sure a lot of people appreciate what you've done... and you've changed a lot of lives by taking up a difficult fight. That's all.
[Minato's eyes are fixed on Akira as he lifts the Evoker...but he doesn't pull the trigger, and Minato doesn't say anything, before gently holding out his hand to take it back.]
[Akira passes him back the Evoker easily. another time, maybe]
I hope so.
[he likes to think he did. he likes to think all of the thieves did. but it's hard to tell when he can't see the labors of his hard work. not from behind bars]

[that sure is a question]
"Everyone." Do you mean the people?

Is asking why you're not sure another prying question?
no subject
[sorry, senpai. level four friend]
no subject
[He'll leave that one alone, then.]
That's fine. Did you have any other questions for me?
no subject
No. For now, that's it.
But I look forward to getting to know you better. [a pause] Senpai.

Minato just snorts softly, shaking his head.]
... Ah... I have a menace for a cute little kouhai now. I see how it is...
[But he's pretty much immediately stretching and then curling up again as if to nap.
THANKS, MINATO.]
no subject
[what???]
[either way, Akira response is a deadpan]
Yep.
Please take care of me.
no subject
[Blandly.
Also he's like.
Closing his eyes now.
Back to napping? Back to napping.]
