[A shadow passes over Akihiko's face right then. It's been a rough week for him, after learning about Minako's death, followed by the recent revelation. Like with everything else, he has to grin and bear it, while burying all of his suffering deep down inside.]

I'll be fine, Ryoji. [Have a small smile.] Thanks. Hell, to tell you the truth, I'm more worried about everyone else.

[Experienced? His eyes widen a little.] Uh... Well... If you don't mind older women, they... might be more experienced...? [This subject is seriously not his forte.]

Really? [Instead of being horrified by the idea, look at how Akihiko's face just lit up some.] Hey, that's fine with me! Are you sure you're not the one doing me a favor? [He laughs heartily.]

But man, you shouldn't have admitted to not doing much training. [Akihiko grins with slightly devilish intent.] I'll have to put you through the wringer.
