[ he's most certainly wearing this but he has the courtesy of keeping it buttoned right now, with a pair of dark swim trunks. it was the closest he could find in a short amount of time, all right? that, and it's actually pretty comfortable since he doesn't plan on actually swimming.
he nods but then - ]
Gulliver's coming? [ a beat.... ] ... Does he swim?
He doesn't, but he'll chill out on the towel [courtesy of Junpei, who she hasn't mentioned on the off-chance that's for some reason a deal-breaker for Akechi but really who else is she likely to be texting] and pick up all the babes. [a joke]
[Father, huh. Makes her wonder if her parents are somewhere there, but then... she probably wouldn't be able to recognize them. Besides, she's more likely to find Dewey by mistake.]
The Orbiters have another thing coming if they want to mess with our people. [nodnod] But come on! I think there's a train to get to the beach, enough of this serious stuff!
Yeah, there's one in the Market District. [Duh. (The only reason she has any vague idea is because she works in that district.) She's gotta find a better way to make money though.
She thinks about what they might need.]
I don't know, I've never exactly ah... [Hm.] gone to a beach. [She knows how to dress the part but other than that...]
That's a good idea. I know there's food there so we should be fine on that part.
[God they really are hopeless.
At least it isn't embarrassing because they're both on more or less equal footing. Other people would laugh at her. Heck, she laughs at people when she knows something they don't.
(Maybe she should try and stop.)]
Ummm there is a train fee I think. [She checks her phone because she made a note in it among her other notes of the district.] 20 silver is the standard fare. [There goes her money from the bugs. It's probably worth it though.
She wonders if she has to pay for Gulliver. He's hidden in a suitcase before (somehow on his own doing). She could stow him away if she had to.]

There are more of him here?
no subject
she shrugs]
I don't know, maybe! Wouldn't that be nice? [She turns her head to look at Gulliver, who merely rumbles and jiggles a little bit] But probably not.
no subject
I see. [ a smile, and then - ] So he tends to attract young ladies.
[ stop. don't go further. don't even - ] Is that purposeful on your part?
[ DID HE JUST??? POTENTIALLY QUESTION??? ANEMONE'S SEXUALITY??? NO???? ]
no subject
Oh Akechi, what has you so interested?
[She laughs, still grinning.]
Maybe if I didn't have a boyfriend in Stasis~
no subject
My apologies. I was simply curious.
[ god he's taken this long to start to accept friendship don't you dare get the wrong idea. ]
Is that why you visit the station so often?
[ things. they're starting to make sense. ]
no subject
[look she made dumb jokes about Junpei when they first met so it's fun to mess with someone again
but she also doesn't want him to get the wrong idea, so lucky him
her smile turns into something more real though]
Yeah. Him and someone else are who I have the Orbiters watching over, so I like to make sure they're keeping up on their end, you know?
no subject
That makes sense, yes. [ he doesn't hesitate, but he chooses his words carefully - ]
I feel the same in that regard. My father is in stasis right now.

Should I pack anything for the trip?
[ ... food.. snacks.. uh? ]

I haven't either. I've seen more than enough movies featuring them, though. [ ... so. ]
I imagine towels and bottled water is really all we'll need.
