Yeah. They're terrifying.

[He says this with a straight face. Is he serious? Joking? Maybe a little of both.]

But they've been a big help to me.

[He's serious about that part.]

They're not really in charge, but they think they are.

[ Sometimes Akira makes it really hard to tell whether he's just being facetious or otherwise, but at least it gives Akechi a solid excuse for his hesitation: ]

If they're so strong as to instill fear even into your heart, I hardly think I could take on their wrath, should they object to my presence.

[ The implication being that a wildcard like Joker is far superior to him. Hah.

Still, a part of him is moved that Akira is extending the offer-- the ability to look so intimately into his soul, more so than Akechi already has. It takes a lot of trust. Trust that Akechi isn't sure he could return. ]

Are you sure you wouldn't rather take someone with powers similar to yours?

[ Hah. ]

You mean Minato?

[He's the only one here (supposedly) with powers like Akira's here.]

I wouldn't mind going with him. I want to meet his attendant.

[She sounds nicer than his, for starters. But while he likes Minato and is very curious about the differences between his "journey" and Akira's "rehabilitation," he has some other motivations.]

I just wanted to offer it to you... because it's a big part of my life, and so are you...

[That sounds cheesy... And he knows he shouldn't push now that Goro is trying to get out of it, but he wants to be honest, too.]
