[She's kind of wishing she had gotten Akira as a partner, even. There's no way it would have happened, not with them both being reapers, but it would make things so much easier.
Also, she's going to bring out a bottle and offer it to Akira. It's a chocolate milk bottle, but the cap has been taken off and put back on. And the contents are brown and milky, but don't look like chocolate milk.]
I suppose it's only fair, if I'm going to be your coffee-smuggler and all.
[his smile softens a bit as he pops the lid off of the bottle and takes a swig, eyes slipping shut. aaaah, coffee. it isn't Leblanc's, but it hits the spot after nothing but stupidly sweet soda the past few days]
[he lets out a breath, soaking in the sudden rush of espresso, before he talks again, voice soft]
. . . you know. [while they're on the subject of their fellow reapers? sort of] Truthfully, I don't really know how much I can trust the others at this point, either. All of us seem to have our own set of goals, don't we?

[he can't help it. he laughs as he reaches out to take the bottle from her]
Just don't let the higher ups catch you. I hear coffee smuggling comes with a sentence of five to ten years.

I can't have my reaper-partner going into a trial without his caffeine, now can I?
