[Okay, so the eyebrow that lifts when Blue catches sight of that weird tongue is not entirely a sort of look that Akechi has seen before- not ...directed at him, anyway, but Blue somehow manages to tear it away with a rare single moment of self-awareness and a grimacing grin at his own easy distraction.]

You should thank me! [He huffs, arms crossed; perched on his head, Eevee, meanwhile, has his ears pinned back as he sternly stares down Loki with the sort of preternatural awareness that Akechi is Not Right (if, you know, the weird horns and tongue and everything wasn't enough, but he knows his son is an idiot). Don't pull anything weird, he got his strength back!!] I've been giving you all this invaluable wisdom from my years of experience, I'm looking out for both your well-being, you know!!

[That was kind of a weird thing to say, actually, now that Blue reflects on it. He squints and his head tilts again, scrutinizing him closer. Hmmmm. Horns, too. That's weird. That's definitely not normal. But he's seen all kinds of 'weird, not normal' things he can't explain in the memories he'd seen from them.... So maybe he should have asked about those after all.]

Um, by the way, I was looking for you or Ren-chan, anyway. Isn't this kinda the same place where you guys were having that battle that I got stuck in my head? I guess it's not odd to stumble into it here, Mt. Silver is in this place after all, but I don't really know how I'm supposed to get out again...
