[it isn't an apology, but it feels like one. part of akaza wants to snap at him, and another wants to say don't. i started it.
but kyojuro is right. akaza feels himself losing his temper and his mind; there's no way he'll be able to focus on anything else for the rest of the night. he takes a deep breath, then another, before finally standing up from the chair and making for the door with a dismissive wave of the hand.]
[Part of Kyojuro is content to let Akaza go. The other part, small though it may be, feels a pinch of guilt, perhaps even a touch of regret, as he stares at the demon's quickly retreating back.
He stands quickly, but does not follow. Instead, he clears his throat and speaks to the man's shoulders.]
The room beside me is empty! I suspect it will provide plenty of refuge from the sun, come morning. Should you wish for it.
[He won't press. He won't insist. He keeps the offer open. And hey, it was better than what his other suggestion would have been — alternating who stayed in this room, considering their opposite schedules.]
[as much as he wants to put distance between himself and kyojuro right now... he did all but say he'd keep an eye on the guy as best he could.
once akaza leaves, his footsteps pace up and down the hall a few times before the next door over opens and closes. it must be satisfactory, because the power he gives off doesn't move from that space for the rest of the evening, or the following day.]
