Whatever.

[Cue A2 calling him "Fluffy Hair" whenever she sees him, for the rest of time.

His answer seems to satisfy what curiosity she had about it. At least he wasn't an idiot that got struck by lightning, like some idiots she knew.]

Mm.

[...]

Some idiot I know got struck by lightning.

[purrtagonist]

[HE'LL ANSWER TO IT. BECAUSE HE'S LIKE THAT]

[also, he absolutely trips over his feet when she says that]

-- what?!

[what!1]

Are they okay?

[abandonware]

He's fine. [Said as callously as she can manage, which is a Lot. She even waves her hand a little, as if dismissing his concern.]

He's just a dumbass.

[purrtagonist]

Just a-- I saw the size of those lightning bolts??

[he sounds relieved and exasperated all in one]

He must be pretty damn sturdy to survive an encounter with one of those.

[abandonware]

[She shrugs. Nier's survival despite all attempts not to, apparently, is a mystery she cannot solve on her own.]

Idiots always survive. [She's almost impressed no one managed to come out of it worse off, given how lackadaisical humans seemed to be with their own well-being.] Surprised no one died.

[purrtagonist]

[A2. . .]

[nevertheless, Akira lets out a deep exhale and shakes his head]

I'm glad. [both that her friend survived, and that no one died] But I wonder if that makes us all idiots, by your definition?

[he's teasing. . . . . .]

[abandonware]

[The longest pause in human history.]

...

[Her brow knits; she looks up briefly.]

Maybe.

[purrtagonist]

[his blase expression cracks as a grin twitches at the corners of his mouth]

[but he forces that smile down quickly]

[so he can give her the MOST DEADPAN OF A THUMBS UP TO EVER EXIST]

[abandonware]

[????]

Thanks?

[Humans were so weird.]

I didn't do anything. [Wasn't that a signal of encouragement?]

[purrtagonist]

[he laughs, the sound light and airy, no longer able to contain his amusement]

It was the way you said it. I was giving you a thumbs up of approval.
