[ There's a blink in mild surprise at the comment, but then he giggles it off, amused and... maybe genuinely happy, too.
Not just because of the cat, either. ]
Coming from such high authority, I find that very flattering.
[ ... well. At least, not because of the cat curling up at his feet. ]
I admit I still have quite some trouble with him, though. I understand cats can be quite demanding, but I'm afraid he might end up getting rather... spoiled, haha.
[ But he does what the cat wants so the cat will like him!! It's a delicate balance!! ]
[ Akechi only hooks an eyebrow at that comment, a knowing smile on his lips. It seems fairly clear to him that they're not talking just about Prince anymore-- and he's actually perfectly content with playing along. ]
Very well. Then I suppose I have two cats to spoil rotten.
[ Said as he, too, wiggles closer, laying his head on Akira's chest as per his earlier implication-- and though it's not quite as soft as an actual pillow, it's somehow even more comfortable. ]
[Akira laughs, wrapping his arms around Akechi to welcome him to his chest. His weight is warm and solid - a reminder that he's here, safe with Akira. It's comforting, especially to his tired mind.
After a moment, his jocular mood starts to droop, and he squeezes a little tighter, anchoring Akechi to him.]

[Sorry, Morgana, but sometimes your complaints are annoying! When Prince does it, it's just cute.]
It's okay, though. Cats deserve a little spoiling.
[After all, he's getting some too, as he wiggles closer to Akechi.]

Don't go off without me.
