[Unfortunately for Akechi, Loki doesn't often simply tell him things. Whatever conversation they'd had together, Loki certainly wouldn't bother to keep him informed. His Persona suits him, in that way -- needlessly difficult, offering advice when it's not wanted and staying silent when it would help him to speak up.
A beat as Akechi absorbs this confession, this revelation, for what it is. He chews at his cheek for a moment before catching himself in the old habit and consciously stopping himself in favor of meeting Damien's eyes. Maybe he's saying what he thinks Akechi wants to hear. Maybe, he's just reporting back what he'd told Loki, under the assumption that he'd already know about it.
Maybe he does mean it, when he says he doesn't have an agenda.]
Well, [he says finally, when he trusts himself to speak.] You'd be one of the few.
