It‘s okay. [ Being woken up like that was a bit uncomfortable, but-- it was Ikki, so Akito wouldn’t complain. He waits patiently for Ikki to pull off the ropes, and once they were off, just kept one arm down at his side, while the other raised, wrapping around his middle over his ribs. ]

I would have come back in the morning, Ikki. Before you woke up-- you wouldn’t have noticed I was gone at all.
