It isn't nothing. [Caduceus smiles gently, shaking his head.] Call it whatever else you like, but accept the credit of your own kindness. You didn't have to, and you did. That's quite a lot of something, actually.

[He'll accept that he's lucky, that he's loved. He knows this. He'll accept that, perhaps, his life and history is difficult to hear about for someone who has had little of what he's indulged plenty of throughout his life. That isn't such a strange thing, with the company he's kept in the year prior to his arrival here, and even among many of the company he's gained since his time in this world began.

He will not, however, accept a dismissal of kindness. Someone who hasn't had the chance to experience much of it, demonstrating it so freely, should be recognized. Kindness is (to him) its own reward, but that doesn't mean enthusiastic gratitude isn't an important step after the fact.]

[Kindness? Him? That can't possibly be right. Whatever kindness he may have once possessed, it's just one of the many pieces of Goro Akechi that was choked by the poison within him.]

Whatever.

[Still, he doesn't care to argue with the man more than he already has, not when Caduceus only just returned to life.]

Is there anything else you need? I have plans for the rest of the afternoon. [to brood in his bedroom, thank you]

[steepwithdead]

[He won't press. Akechi doesn't have to believe him, but it's nice that he doesn't deny it. Caduceus just smiles and accepts the dismissal.]

No, no. That's plenty, thank you. Consider yourself free of me. [His tone is playful, but he still adds, very importantly,] For now.

[amurderofcrow]

[Akechi hates that little playful promise - threat - leaves him huffing to himself, just the tiniest sliver of amusement hiding in his soft laugh.]

For now.

[And he'll give the man one last look before leaving him be.]
