She actually wondered if she should take the lead on having some sort of a conversation with the healer about defining where they actually stood. In some ways, it was a conversation they were both probably chickening out of. While she avoided emotional confrontations, she was sure he too wasn't quite equipped with the skills to transition towards anything more intimate with ease. She couldn't blame him, given what he'd shared about his memories and such. Perhaps, they ought to make time to make that priority, she'd never really gotten a chance to ask him why he hasn't already started on that journey, maybe he didn't even know where to start...
She sighed and allowed her mind to flit from one thought to another as darkness shrouded the surroundings. Just as the stars found a moment to shine again, the street lamps flickered on and she could no longer admire the pin pricks that hung in the sky above. She squinted and sighed, noticing it condense in front of her yet again. Akira shoved her hands into her pocket, her shoulders rounded as she curled and coiled tighter against the growing cold. The sea breeze definitely had a cruel bite, the girl needed to get her winter clothes. Maybe she could make a stop over at Marigold and collect some of her overcoats and such.
As she made her way down the roads. Reminiscing once again on all the situations she had encountered as a Knight. She wondered if she and Tsuru had been dealt a special hand, or was this the case for other fresh recruits as well... Perhaps they'd driven each other to achieve more than they could have done individually. In all fairness, if it wasn't for the healer's incessant need to help everyone in sight, especially initially, Akira would have skated by and done the bare minimum to simply remain with the ranks. Perhaps, if it wasn't for her cunning and ability to make quick deductions and plan things, they wouldn't have had the luck to escape the sticky situations their quick rise in the faction had landed them in. A few others that the two had encountered were equally competent if not better, she wished they'd all kept in touch.
