[ Akko should really not be left alone in a city like this. To be honest, nobody is safe to be alone in a place where you can be stabbed just by looking at someone the wrong way.
Thank goodness for the buddy system, though! Now that Akko is paired up with Jun for the time being, she marches through the slums of Briarlan. ]
We finally made it, Jun! Let's go look for the crystal. Should we ask those people where it is?
[ She points to a group of unsavory-looking pirates. One of them is using his sharp knife as a toothpick. ]
[Jun is much more the type to go at it alone, but pairing up in a strange city is only the rational thing to do. He's just glad that it's not with a complete stranger.
If Akko-san does ask, that means he's coming with her. While he's not the type to straight-up ask, they're also far from the most intimidating thing he's ever seen.]
After you.
[Not finding them intimidating doesn't mean he wants to do any talking.]
[at some point! after the crystal is returned, people start acting like their old selves again, and the city as a whole makes a decision on what to do about Briarlan. . . Jun gets a phone call]
[Kurusu-san going so far as to ask him to come visit? He's either out of his mind, or really desperate. Why would anyone want to invite him anywhere, especially to somewhere important? Has everyone else he invited declined? That has to be it.
Despite all that, he's able to stay calm for the crystal.]
[That... Jun wants to believe him, but contacting someone through the crystals takes zero effort. Kurusu-san has given him no reason not to take him at his word, but there's no way someone would just be that nice to him.]
[Merry Santamas, Jun! As with the going trend, Asbel is outfitting you with a cozy winter scarf and -- just to be a little different, a bowl of mild curry ready for easy re-heating and a small box of steamy hot mabo curry buns (both regular and spicy versions!) with a note:
"merry christmas, jun. let me know how the flavors compare. - asbel lhant"]

Um. Excuse me.
[ ........ they ignore her. ]
Hey, there.
[ still no response. her lips twitch. ]
no subject
Excuse me. She's trying to ask you something.
[Works like a charm. All eyes on you, Akko.]

HEY IDIOTS--!!!
[ The group of men certainly look at them now, half of them raising their weapons. The main leader speaks: ]
"You shut your woman, boy, or we'll cut off her tongue."
I'm not a woman-- I'm a witch!

[Jun moves forward, and a flower appears in his hand. He's already given up on this situation defusing calmly.]
I don't think they'll be of much help.

How do you feel about curry, Jun?
no subject
It's good.... Why do you ask?
no subject
I'm going to make some of Cafe Leblanc's famous curry for lunch this coming week. Why don't you drop by for a visit that day?
no subject
Despite all that, he's able to stay calm for the crystal.]
...Are you certain?
no subject
Sure. I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't.
no subject
If you say so.
no subject
[don't sound so skeptical Jun!!]
I'll contact you again to let you know what day it is, all right? Just keep your lunches free for a bit.
