H-h-hey!
[WOW THAT IS A BIG BEAR HUG he is trying not to sputter but he is a little because he didn't expect this kind of greeting.]
Beau, please don't squeeze too hard...! [But even though she is, he's hugging her back too, grinning wide.] But it's so good to see ya!!

[ vague, but beau likes luna enough that she's not going to press too hard. ]
Fuck, yeah, I guess that'd be rough to deal with, especially right before the big boss battle shit we did. [ a beat. ] I'm glad you guys are talking it out, though? You're fucking cute together, so.

[ she sets him down after a second, laughing. ]
Shit, it's good to see you too. [ she grins widely. ] Come on, let me get you a drink or something. How are you doing?

It's complicated... I don't really want to speak for Akira. I just... I know I got scared about some of the things that happened, and I suppose I became more upset than I should have. But we're... we're working on piecing it together.
[The compliment is simple enough, but it still sounds like it throws Luna for a bit of a loop.]
A-ah... you think so? [how do you talk about someone u like :(]
I don't really know what to call it. We've only really known each other for a short while, so I... I don't think I would say it's anything incredibly serious yet, but...
I really do like him. Quite a lot.

[ there seems to be a slight difference in the cadence of the words, less lilting cheer and more amused curl, but it sure is definitely 45 speaking. ]
A Doll has to check, that's all. It isn't any slight against you, especially when being forgotten about happens more often than not in this line of work, no?

Mm. You really wouldn't.
[but he is- moving right on from that, actually!]
If you need any help with the more political side of things there, though, let me know. Maybe I could assist you through this, if you can explain the situation.

[ there is a pause. beau is Struggling not to continue to be an asshole, please hold. ]
Make any friends? Did you learn your lesson or whatever the fuck? [ hm. she tried? ]

[ look, maybe they didn't know each other THAT well but beau still wants to check in like a dumb mother hen, so she does. ]
Zenitsu? It's Beau. Been a while, huh? Lemme know how you're doing.

Good, I'm glad you do. Both of you are good people. You deserve good stuff.
[ A pause. Amused: ] And yeah. I do think so. Just try not to let him get into too much trouble.

[ maybe beau thinks it's all going to magic necklace voicemail, maybe beau is aware someone else might be listening. maybe she hopes they are, or at least a specific someone. maybe she doesn't care!
but as it is, for the most part, 45 lets most of her calls drunken and rambling or otherwise to the necklace she's holding onto for hunter go unanswered... until, eventually. hm. ]
... just out of curiosity, are you aware of how many times you've called in the last month?

[ poor akechi ]
Okay, so then what was even the point? Just to get the cops off your ass? Did they even know you did something shitty to start with?

[ ... welp.
beau is silent for a long moment. ]
The fuck. [ eloquent, beau ] Not that many - fuck, you're the one with Hunter's necklace, aren't you.

Of course not. I simply hate being in someone else's debt.
[Not that it'll make sense to Beau, anyway.]
Regardless, the police were unable to prove my involvement in the end. It didn't even seem like I was formally considered a culprit until I turned myself in.
[... He could definitely say that without sounding a little big smug about it, considering the subject matter. Thanks, Akechi.]

[ she's collecting all these pieces slowly of what he did and none of them make sense, but she's working on it, here. ]
The cops didn't suspect your involvement in what, the mystery of who stole a bundle of sweater vests from the tailor?

[ EMBARRASSING whatever, beau hopes hunter heard them anyway, somehow. ]
Maybe? Or Anya. I guess it doesn't matter. Makes sense that it's you.

[ oh, someone wants to speak with him? must be anya. he tunes in, only to hear a different voice with a start. his grip on the pendant tightens in excitement. ]
Beau! Are you calling, because you missed me? The doctor said I should rest, so that's what I've been doing!

Yeah, I was -- wait, the doctor? [ EXCUSE. ] What happened? Are you hurt?
[ what demon does she need to come punch ]
[ what demon does she need to come punch ]
[ his name is inosuke. ]
I fell from a window and got pounded to a pulp by a wild boar! Can you believe it? Two of my ribs broke, and my face was all puffy. It really hurt, you know? But I'm better now!
