[Ren always makes a point of changing into something more comfortable; Akechi rarely does anything of the sort. He'd stripped off and disposed of the tattered uniform out of necessity, but only in favor of his own school uniform. Minus the jacket, but he'd put the tie back on out of habit and hadn't seen a reason to bother taking it back off again.
His gaze sweeps over Ren, takes in the fact that he hadn't changed, before returning out over "Kichijoji" once again. For the moment, he has his thoughts under lock and key, an iron door slammed between them and the ley lines, as far as he can tell. He can't hear any of the whispers, and he can hope that no one can hear him.
His heart beats rabbit-fast in his chest, but he doesn't allow it show on his face. He even manages not to flinch when Ren's thoughts seep into his mind in spite of the barrier he'd thought he'd erected. He just takes a sip from his water in a show of calculated ease before looking to him once again.]

no subject
