Well… Now that left Yusuke with a rather complicated feeling concerning Akechi, if his expression were anything to go by as he took that detail in. It was hard to not draw parallels all things considered… It was wrong, what the self-proclaimed detective had done, of course. Truly horrible, and not something to be forgiven, since the decision to go down that path had been his. But… It was hard to not wonder at the similarities to their history. Had he not found the support and friendship in the phantom thieves when he found out the truth of his own mother’s death, would he have potentially traversed a similar path? He couldn’t say, of course. Hypothetical musings were only that… But still, it was a terribly sad thing to realize. “All the better that he was stopped, then. To allow such terrible deeds to continue to be done would be a tragedy.” And it was that which he kept in mind, at least. A small comfort to know that whatever specifics he was going back to, they at least put an end to such a horrible plot.
He nodded slightly, his tone sympathetic at the thought of how her thoughts had wandered on the subject of her father’s death. It would be terrible to be trapped in such things. He only hoped that they had at least offered some comfort and help after everything was said or done. That the group had pulled together for her in support as they had for other members, himself included, before. “The mind has a terrible way of forcing itself down roads and remaining on them.“ He shook his head slightly, before he quickly realized she was feeling a bit bad about her not being a recognizable friend. While it was true, it was sad to have met someone he didn’t know compared to those he’d already met… It wasn’t the worst! No friend could have shown up here at all, after all. And she was right. Neither of them were alone here, thanks to the other, at least. “Oh! Please don’t say such a thing. While it may be true, I don’t know you well yet… You are still a member of the Phantom Thieves and a future friend. That truly means something, after all!” She still knew him and clearly was familiar enough with him to consider him a friend. That meant that they would at least be in good company, and perhaps they would not be the only ones either, over time.
“A small one, yes… But I suppose that is to be expected, all things considered. Though there are one or two who are a little more polite and mannerly. Even a young girl who has an interest in painting! I’ve allowed her to use my canvases on occasion.” He responded with a light gesture, sounding pleased. Sure it meant he needed to buy… more supplies and canvases… But who was Yusuke to discourage a budding artist? “I suppose I was scolded lightly for not being mindful of the fact that little feet would be running around, something about being an example for the young… But that was the extent of it, after I promised to try to be careful.” Main word there? Try. It did not mean he would succeed, and it wasn’t as though he chose that place to stay. They had eventually had to make peace with the idea that the teen was a bit of a mess in general. “But I believe you’ll like the gray building’s lodgings. I’ve heard they’re quite nice, and have everything one needs to start out. Even some oddly powered small kitchen appliances!”
