Nah, I got a better idea. Wanna help me buy a sword for her?
[ He gestures towards the blacksmithing booth across the way and grins, bright. ]
Miiight be cool.
[ He doesn't expect Akechi to be happy in the end about having to spend some time with Ryuji, especially not in this heat and this crowd and all of this. But he doesn't want to make it a miserable experience for him either. He wants something more middle of the road. ]
