The mess hall is just fine. [ he appreciates the offer of neutral ground; the tension would have been unbearable if they met in private. ] I'll meet you there.
[ Akechi's room is closer to the mess hall than Ren's, and he leaves right away, so he's waiting there already when Ren arrives, leaning up against a counter and tapping out messages on his smartwatch. it's still strange to him, having texts to respond to, conversations that he can put on hold and pick up at another time. back home, he only ever ended up using his phone to take calls from Shido, and now that he's dead, on a derelict space station in another universe, with no future and no ending — now, of all times, he spends his hours texting people he knows. spending time with them, day to day. like someone ordinary, someone who has a life of his own. like it's not far too late for that.
he's been keeping an eye out for Ren, so when he sees him, he closes the holographic display on the smartwatch and straightens up. the general air to him is tired, today; he's not smiling, and his expression is neutral, but it seems more exhausted than anything. resigned, maybe. ]
