[Oh. Well, Akechi's own surprise shows in the widening of his eyes as she gets obviously flustered. He'd meant "keep an eye on" in the event that he became a threat, not literally watch over to protect.

It's an unexpected side of her, and he can't help but chuckle, covering it behind a polite hand.]

My apologies. It's just... unexpected. I thought perhaps you might see another spirit as competition, but that's clearly not the case.

[Goro "why can't I be the only special one" Akechi at it again.]

Eh.... I'm jealous of him, how pure he is, how kindhearted, how everyone who can remember him seems to like him, how easy it all seems for him. But...

No. I get jealous of everything. Rivalries and the like, competition? That's mostly for other Hashihime. [There was an uncomfortable look.]

You don't want two of them here. One's more than enough.

[Easier to explain without another of them present.]

[simulatio]

Hm.

[He hums, nodding as she speaks. When she puts it that way, he can understand. It's not unlike certain aspects of his relationship with Ren, after all, though rivalry and competition is certainly at its core. Envy of his kindheartedness and how everyone seems to like him? Well, that he has in spades.]

I suppose that's for the best for us mere mortals, then, [he observes with a slight grin, said in the tone of voice that implies he thinks it'd be rather interesting to see, actually.]

[bridge_princess]

[She caught that tone. She didn't say anything about it, but she caught it. A grunt followed and she nodded.]

well, a lot less bridge wars, at the very least. For now everyone's behaving. Might be best to keep it that way a little longer.
