Akane giggled, her optics flickering with amusement as her eyes widened. "Oh, you would, huh?" she teased, voice laced with mischief. "I'd pay to see that."

She meant it in the most playful way possible, but deep down, she was still fiercely loyal to Zenkichi’s safety. No matter how much she joked, if someone actually tried to throw hands with him, they'd have to go through her first.

Though that wasn't as much of a compensation physically.

But Hamuko meant well—Akane could tell. And besides, it wasn’t every day she got to talk to someone other than Wolf.

"Man," she exhaled, shaking her head with a fond chuckle. "Hearing about Adamah again... yeah Wolf sort of joined a whole impromptu crusade to defeat the Reaper with Amada-san and uh...Phoenix," Her gaze drifted toward the board before she reached out and pointed at a particular picture with the major warning next to an Akechi with a very dark beak. "Really it started from Wolf mistaking Phoenix-san as one of the cognitive enemies of your universe and we had to shift to protocol mode."

"That-!" Zenkichi pipes in, "-what was I supposed to do?! Phoenix just popped up right in front through a goddamn portal!"

"Relax, Wolf- I will be your lawyer," she grins with a closed fist on her chest. "I will win the case for you."

"Shut up-!" Zenkichi's tone wasn't exactly harsh either, a sort of tired grin on his face before he turned back to Igor.

"Okay so..."

"...anyways yeah, that could have went terrible to be honest but you know, all's well that ends well."
