Ren shakes his head, still grinning widely. This is good, this is what he wants, this is how it should be - like it was before February. Stupid jokes are his preferred way of breaking tension, and he’s thrilled Akechi is bantering back.
“I won the Big Bang Burger Challenge. I could definitely take you on.”
How long is Akechi willing to play along? There’s only one way to find out. Ren stands up straighter than his customary slouch and adopts an exaggerated expression of someone deep in serious contemplation, fingers folded to prop under his chin as he pretends to give Akechi a sharp visual inspection.
“Though now I must wonder … if you are a cake, which flavor are you? Strawberry, perhaps?”
That’s right, he’s even mimicking Akechi’s “detective prince” tone when speaking. This is meant to be a playful impression, not mean-spirited mocking. Ren hopes that’s the way Akechi will see it, and that he’ll verbally volley back.
