Oh, of course. As befitting the Detective Prince.

[ bitch stop LYING TO HIM ]

[Okay asshole.]

Maintaining this image does require a strict regimen, even here.

Have you done anything since your little party? Perhaps you should reflect on your own daily routine.

Please detail that strict regimen. I'm fascinated, as this is the first I'm hearing about it in a long time.

No. I don't need you following my every move because you're bored.

I can currently follow your every move.

Because they all take place in our house.

I leave every morning, don't I? That's proof enough. Stop being ridiculous.

You're going to make me pull up the data from our tracking app, aren't you... This is going to be really embarrassing for you.

[Akechi lets that message sit on read for a minute. Then two.

He checks the app - one he consistently leaves on.

...

He won't back down.]

My time in jail may have skewed how the application operates. Please keep that in mind.

I leave the house often. I know this to be fact.

Did becoming a rabbit every few hours for weeks on end impair your cognition? You must be mistaking me for an idiot.

I don't recall how often that's happened.

But no, my mind is as fine as ever. I'm only giving background and facts before you make your wild, baseless accusations from incomplete data.

[ Anyway, he's going to send three months worth of Akechi Heat Map screenshots so that the iNcOmPlEtE dAtA covers the time pre-moon jail too. Asshole. ]

[He-

Really is home often these days.

Turning off the application would defeat the purpose of it. Akechi's hounded Maruki about that often enough when he's tried to stalk his outings and found him offline.

So instead-]

We were snowed in for some time, if you recall.

I do recall.

I'm on my way back home to check the damage and wait for the repair people I've hired. I'd ask you to meet them, but I wouldn't want to impose on your busy schedule.

I wonder if they'll be able to hypothesize on the cause?

Good - I wasn't planning to wait around for them.

I doubt they can figure it out. If they do, keep me informed. I'm interested in what they conclude.

Where have you been, by the way? Your tracking is off.

Is it? My mistake.

[ He'll turn it back on, just for Akechi. He's in Stellari. At his office, to be precise. ]

Some people who are still grateful for my help with the flower illness but have no other way of finding me have been leaving small gifts of food and sweets at my office, so I try to go by at least once a day to make sure nothing sits out for too long.

[That's better. Akechi checks to confirm where he's at and closes the app after.]

At least they paid off their debt in some manner.

Do you plan to shut it down soon?

My office? Of course not. It's a useful resource. Besides, where else would I keep all of my library books?

I'm not seeing any patients currently, so it's more or less just another location we can use if needed.

A glorified storage unit is better than your original use for it.

I'll keep that in mind.

You have to admit that there were benefits to having a second secure location to meet with others that isn't someone's living space.

I don't disagree with its use in this manner.

Though given your previous office was bugged for some time, I would still prefer to use the Stellari house.

Of course. When it's just us, that's never in question.

Have you been to the hot springs in Lumindeas yet?

With Maki, yes.

Though I can hardly say it was an enjoyable or memorable experience.

Did she try to drown you?

As if she could.

But no - the rules were clear and we both abided by them. All we did was talk.

Of course.

We ought to go sometime.
