What you want, and what you can take. [Envy]

Mitsuru has to take several breaths when she steps into…Well, wherever it is that they are now. The air feels different from the city outside; less dusty, more sterilized, and what bleach might feel like if it was breathable. It takes her lungs several tries to get used to the change, and her eyes have to blink before they can take in how eye

Akihiko sighs as he enters the new area and doesn't spot any monsters. They might actually get a rest.

"Maybe they're being nice to us for once." That would be a welcome change from the way everything else has gone.

"Either way, I'm going to take advantage of it." He reaches into the bag he somehow managed to hang onto, and pulls out one of the shirts. With a few quick slashes of the knife, he turns into a bandage he ties clumsily around his stomach. It's a makeshift job, but it's better than nothing.

He takes out another of the shirts and shrugs out of his jacket. He stops before actually taking off his shirt. "Uh, mind turning around?"

Mitsuru raises an eyebrow in response to that request, and shakes her head.

“Akihiko, given the current state of your…” She pauses and considers the rags he currently has on. “What used to be your shirt, do you really think seeing you without it would make that much of a difference?” The word ‘modesty’ doesn’t enter into her mind, so much as wondering if he might try something with her back turned, or if this is another scheme in getting her to do whatever it is he wants.

…Her head has been full of those thoughts for quite some time now. And although Mitsuru doesn’t realize it, they’re starting to take their toll on her. Her eyes are a bit more shifty, and despite being in what looks like a ‘safe’ zone, her muscles haven’t unwound by a fraction.

Akihiko grits his teeth. Mitsuru is starting to act ridiculous. "It's a simple request. Turn around for one minute while I change my shirt." Maybe his shirt isn't more than rags, but it's the principle of the thing.

Then again, when has she ever had to do something she didn't want to? She's always had other people do those things for her...including me.

“And I’m stating simple facts; removing a few scraps of cloth isn’t going to compromise your modesty by much.” She was still investigating the room, looking for anything that could be remotely threatening. (As long as it doesn’t mean turning her back.)

But now, she stops doing that and looks straight at Akihiko. Maybe it’s to act completely counter to his request, but also so she can lock eyes with him.

It probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but after a certain amount of time, people tends to leave the groups they started with. Mia is no exception. Although she was relatively safe with Caleb's group, they weren't progressing at the speed she desired. So, after taking her share of supplies and food, she departed the group without warning. Although, Grif's clever PINpoint to base system is still intact on her PINpoint, but she hopes to not need it.

She arrives at the decontamination room at some given time, eying the area with great caution. Again, this seems too eerie and suspicious, but she's noticing a trend here. A major one in discovering just what is going on here. A pattern. Giving the suits an idle glance, Mia's attention is obviously set on the persona-wielding team. It's not the specific person she's looking for, but Kirijo is a welcome face in this calamity.

"Mitsuru," Akihiko pulls out the Evoker when he catches a glimpse of the other person. "We have company."

He's aware that having the Evoker out is probably overdoing it, but considering how he and Mitsuru first reacted in this room, he's decided to be overly cautious.

Mitsuru is still blinking the sleep out of her eyes, and it takes her a moment to register that they have a newcomer.
Or, who that new comer is.

“Fey?” She rubs at her eyes to make sure she isn’t imagining this. Once she gets a second look, she’s quick to put a hand on Akihiko’s shoulder.

“It’s okay. She’s an ally of mine, and Mr. Wright.”

[turnabout_fey]

Mia glances at Akihiko first, and immediately, she spots the evoker. She drops whatever gear and weapons she's holding at the time, in order to show her lack of hostility towards the party. Finally, she nods gently in Mitsuru's direction.

"Kirijo. It's good to see that you're alive. My apologies for sneaking up on you and your friend like this."
