His brow furrowed. He's heard that from one of his conversations with one of the Akechis who had "defeated" him. Whatever that meant. He tries to remain patient, trying to follow the singer's voice as he brought his flute glass up and fiddled with it. "I was informed about the misgivings of my other selves."
"Again...even if I am not that man from what I have heard it really makes him sound like he was holding your life as hostage. I would apologize but I don't want to betray my intentions as pity." Yes. Keep it slow. Be patient. She isn't attacking him- they can just have a civil conversation, right? Is she carrying a gun on her?
Maruki makes quick note of the creaking- still relaxed in his seat.
"I understand. Even if I am a researcher or just an unemployed graduate who worked part time as a counsellor- I understand your grievance with me though I can't deny that the constant scrutiny can be a little stressful to cope with."
"Which is why- I assumed since this was an adult establishment so I wouldn't have such a colourful run-in with the young residents here. It is a jazz club after all but haha-! I forgot rules like those don't quite apply here!" A nervous chuckle follows as he lifts his glass of champagne as proof of what he's talking about. "It's such a fine establishment...tranquil and peaceful."
