Summary
Gladio raps the table twice, then says in the higher acolyte’s voice, “Adept Sancus, you have visitors.”
“Come in,” Ignis says, after a half-second’s doubt. He does not try for anyone’s voice but his own.
“Wisdom check,” Gladio says.
Ignis rolls his d20 and adds his proficiency to it. “Fifteen.”
“The two strangers before you are clearly experienced adventurers, or maybe mercenaries, based on the weapons they carry and the wear and tear on their armor and other gear. They’re successful at it, too, because they seem well-fed, in good health, and have all of their limbs. The woman is a little taller than the man, though they seem of age and are similar enough in coloring and facial structure that you wouldn’t at all be surprised if they were related.”
Ignis hums at that information, considers the backstory he crafted with Gladio, and asks simply, “Has Mother hired you to kill me?”

Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)
