[Souji glances around curiously, thinking. He can tell something's being communicated to him, but it takes him a few moments to think through what that is.

But he gets it after that, and nods, very faintly.]

That's a good point. I've definitely been in worse situations.

[There's something about the matter of fact way he says it that stresses his sincerity. He really has been in worse places...]

[Almost imperceptibly, his shoulders relax a little, lips curving into something a little more genuine and not a show.]

Sounds like you haven't had an easy time of it either, huh?

[Worse situations... Akira can definitely understand that.

Maybe that's why being here doesn't phase him too much. He's already been through worse, and nearly everyone he wants to keep safe isn't stuck here with him.]

We still have some time, hopefully, so we can work towards figuring out why we're needed here. Including the more... unexpected aspects.

[He looks down at the bra he's wearing with a frown and gives the strap a tug for good measure.]

If I had to guess, based on my day so far, they need people with good legs.

[It's absolutely unclear based on his smile if this is a genuine guess, a joke, or just an admission he has no idea why they're here.]

[That tone is near inscrutable, alien and familiar all at once. Akira isn't used to being on the other end of this, and honestly he's a little delighted.]

Sounds like that has a story behind it. At the least... I guess this is one way to show my legs off, too.

[Akira thinks that maybe they needed a little more than his legs, but. Well. This is one way to do it.]
