Summary: Akira is shaken by the revelations after defeating the Light Warden of Raktika.

(Gposes depicting scenes from the fic under the break.)

“What a sorry sight you make,” the bored drawl interrupted her brooding.

“Emet-Selch!” she welcomed. “Come, sit. Have a drink. You look like you could use one.”

“So what exactly are you trying to find at the bottom of that bottle?” he asked, pouring his own drink.

Would you like to stay? Akira had no idea where that thought came from, and she certainly didn’t understand why in the world it would come out of her mouth.

She fled back into her room without another word, closing it more heavily than she meant behind her and clicking the lock shut, lest she say anything else foolish and inexplicable.

“Ban me for buying alcohol from you? Wouldn’t that affect your finances, flame head? That’s what I thought..”

Vodka makes me feel better than the thoughts of you that can't seem to leave my mind.
