I'm Kurusu Akira. Thanks for the hand- [He grabs the one that Kazuya has outstretched as he says it and stands, checking his balance. Yeah, he'll be fine; he's definitely been tossed around a lot harder by Shadows before. If Kazuya isn't hurt either, he won't worry about it.] It made for an unforgettable entrance, that's for sure.

[A prize... He definitely knew that and wasn't just trying to grab the ring because it was shiny. Absolutely.

...Akira didn't have a clue.]

Yep, there's a prize.

[That's exactly why he'll act like he always knew. If he blends in nobody has to know, right?]

Give me a hand and we'll call it even?

[Sometimes you just gotta let your inner magpie urges free?]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'm more of the brute force type, so if you've got any ideas, I'd definitely like to hear 'em.

[... As if Akira wouldn't know that he was the brute force type after he'd so efficiently tackled him to the ground.]

They're pretty quick, but they don't seem to move if people are looking at them.

It might be tricky, but... if one of us could stare at them while the other comes up from behind and grabs the ring, that could work. It also seems like once they get in the pot, they won't come out, so we'll have to do our best to make it count.

[The most magpie of magpies. Sometimes you just spend too long being a thief.]

If that way sounds alright, did you have a preference for staring at them or snatching the ring?

[One of these tasks is more stealthy than the other... But he'll still leave the choice up to Kazuya, brute force or no.]

[belheir]

I can stare at them, if you want. I've been doing pretty well at doing the whole brute force thing, but after that amazing performance I gave, my confidence is a little shot.

[He doesn't think he could handle taking out some other poor passerby, to be quite honest. And this guy seemed way more stealthy anyway? At least, Kazuya hadn't seen him until the last second...]
