"Yes, otherwise you really will hang it over my head. I could be on death's door and you'd be shaming me with it."
And that thwap to her shoulder actually does make Akiha wince and rub it, though she doesn't protest. If she ever deserved a decent smack, now would be it. For some insane reason, she has started to value Nico's friendship, after all.
"But I will. Thank you, Yazawa-san."
Which is why that sounds so achingly sincere instead of just another part of their banter. Even Akiha realizes she's let her guard down too much - she recrosses her arms.
"Do you and your friends have any plans? I don't want to take up more of your time if you were going to have some sort of celebration," Akiha asks, still playing the part of the upper-class socialite. But there's an implication there, isn't there? That if they don't have any plans, Akiha would like to take up the rest of Nico's day.
