"are you normally so... jumpy?"

"Ah, no..." it was meant to be more confident, tonight was different than usual, but said usual...Akira had to unfortunately admit they were already easily scared. In this place where they didn't have a role attached to their name other people's importance shone brighter, and while they don't hesitate to meet his gaze, they recognize they can't speak carelessly. "Someone once told me how strange things happens on nights when the full moon is out and the wind is howling. It probably sounds silly, but I feel like I'm waiting for something like that...", even though it won't. Words that are difficult to say, earnest but troubled, causing a turmoil within their heart. Clinging to a small wish made the loneliness ache all the more.

"I guess I just ended up being on edge instead", although they had done their best to politely give him their attention, their gaze once again moves toward the Luxray on his side, and their smile turns into something more genuine.
