Aug. 7th, 2017 01:32 pm[the situation is absolutely frustrating, to be sure.
it doesn't particularly bother him to have the life of another person resting on his ability to do well; that's par for the course with akira, after all. it helps that raven is incredibly competent from what he's been able to gather, and he doesn't think she would betray him and take his life if it meant her own.
just a feeling he gets.
but akira is definitely pondering everyone else. listening to people, eavesdropping, getting a sense of who people are and what they're about so he knows who to keep an eye on. he'd like to prevent things like needless death, despite the nature of the game, after all.granted, this is simultaneously easier and harder for him with the current circumstances—easier to seem unassuming and eavesdrop or scope people out in general. but also much, much harder to act on his own, in the ways he normally would without giving away that he's not just some nerdy-ass high school student who may or may not have a dubious criminal record.
it's fine.
though it's precisely because he's pondering this that akira is spacing out a bit. after returning from the oasis, he's changed back properly into his clothes, he sits near the shoreline; his back faces the water as he idly looks ahead. his eyes aren't fixed on any one particular thing—he's just watching everyone mill about and figure out what to do, and he does the same. his hair is as frizzy and disheveled as ever, quickly drying in whatever mess it was when he exited the water; his glasses mask the look in his eyes as the sun reflects off them and creates a glare—really, he does look as unassuming as he pretends to be, it's a good ruse. but still, even though he looks like he's spacing out, his senses are incredibly sharp—so he's not going to miss someone making an approach, no matter what direction it is they may come from.
sup, bellamy.]
