Myself and a great many others aren't happy about being conscripted into a fight that's not our own, but at least it's a purpose, as you say. And largely we understand that by playing nice with LILITH's wishes, we have a better chance of returning home.
I'm not a fan of being forced to do anything either. [ he says simply, looking back to his untouched soup. ] I suppose I would usually be angrier about this, but...

Ha. Well, LILITH is very big on making sure we all get along, so I'm sure you'll find something chafe-worthy sooner rather than later.

akechi doesn't look impressed by the friendmaking- though he does seem interested at the blatant briberytradingbribery going on. ]

Thank you again for the ramen. [ it's even mostly sincere!! ] Good luck with your next kaiju fight.
