[It's Atsushi! Without his glasses, and with his hair pushed back, and looking 95% more grumpy than anyone has seen the 'usual' Atsushi, but it's definitely him.]

My other half told me that I need to make more friends. [Speech patterns are definitely Inner's, but it may come as a shock to anyone who hasn't met him yet.] I don't care, but if it'll satisfy him I'll ask.

People willing to be sparring partners preferred. No one too noisy or annoying. If the other Atsushis don't like you then I hate you already, so don't bother replying.

[This is how you friendship, right?]

I don't have patience for dealing with fools. He can handle the socializing.

[...but Outer's been on him recently to at least try to take more time for himself, so he'll add, reluctantly:] I do like spars. And chocolate.

[killercoat]

Not everyone is a fool.

[ Akutagawa understands that way of thinking. There's never a short supply of idiots, and socializing can be a pain, but sometimes it was necessary to force yourself.]

I acknowledge that you have a fierce fighting spirit. Chocolate is good. I prefer it on the bitter side, myself. Are there other things that you like?

[ Since Inner is holding his hand, it's a good reason as any to strike up small talk.]

[tigerpoet]

...Not everyone.

[He likes his other half, and the Atsushis, and Ranpo.]

I like it sweeter. It's different when I'm in control instead of just tasting it through him.

[killercoat]

Oh? It tastes different?

[ Inner is a separate personality, so he probably has different tastes.]

Well, there's nothing wrong with having your own preferences. That's why he probably wants you to seek friends who have similar interests to your own.

[tigerpoet]

He worries too much about me.

[Because Outer cares about Inner, as much as Inner cares about Outer. It's just hard for him to accept being fussed over.]

[killercoat]

[Akutagawa could understand not wanting to be fussed over, but despite his stubbornness, it did feel nice.]

Would you prefer if he didn't worry at all?

[tigerpoet]

Yes. Because he's always making himself upset by worrying over people.

[Tiger's number one goal is always, always Outer's happiness.]

[killercoat]

That's just who he is. So give him one less person to worry about.

[ Akutagawa feels like his knees are just about healed, he let's go of Inner's hand as he stands on his feet.]

Thanks.

[tigerpoet]

If I must.

[He'd prefer if Outer didn't worry about anyone though...!]

Hmmph. It's nothing.
