[ Miraculously; against Akira's will, perhaps. But Goro doesn't parry the statement with resistance. He opts to stare vacantly at the windowed display, countenance absent of its performative delight — though his eyes still glints with subtle intrigue upon Akira's return, attention fixed upon the dango. ]
... Thanks.
[ Belatedly said — gratitude withheld up until he notes Akira's swift, retracting hand, like a reminder to retain some manners regardless of their oddly placed familiarity... but the dango remains unobtainable, still. Goro knits his brows, wrinkles his nose, mildly miffed and confused; maybe this particular comrade-against-fate would prefer having that first bite instead, however playful and roundabout the approach. So: Goro gestures for Akira to go on ahead. ]
After you, then. [ The treat wasn't worth additional probing; 'nothing special', indeed. Hardly leaves any room for disappointment. But now he's curious to know: ]
We all judge a book by its cover, don't we? ... What is something that you've adamantly refused before deciding to give it a chance later on?
[ Ah, yes, the infamous knit of the Akechi brows. Akira considers this a win for him and slots the dango into Goro's hand right after he gestures for him to have the first taste. Just from the skewer, one can feel the warmth emanating from the dessert though fortunate that the glaze stays in place. In the end, the detective gets his prize.
Akira goes ahead and takes a bite out of his skewer, chewing on the single dango ball for quite some time as he considers Goro's question. Is this a precursor to their short truce? Mini alliance...? Or is it Goro Akechi's trademark of being ominous? He has a pretty simple and trivial answer and a longer-winded one. ]
Eat food at the beach. [ Thinking. Thinking... ] That's it. I'll try almost anything once.
[ Within common sense and his moral standing, of course. With a wave of his hand, he gestures Goro to follow him. Back to the bridge! ]
A book is more than its cover, but I guess Yusuke would disagree at first. [ A funny. ] What about you? Is there something you refused to do, but ended up giving a try?
