[Kurama would rather not give a proper explanation? If this Akira Kurusu is as much like his Akira as he seemed yesterday, Kurama can guess where giving him one will lead. But honestly, if he's going to struggle this much to keep them separate in his mind, it's the least they deserve. So Kurusu does get a small nod before Kurama is also distracted by Akechi.]

I'm aware but I'm more possessive of my mind than my life.

[He's not pouting. Honest. And if he is pouting a little bit, it's definitely the dust.

.....and he's far more curious than he has a right to be about what Kurusu might not have told Akechi 'last time'. But he's very aware that he has no right to be, so he'll settle for being amused by the coffee question.

Because he's already aware that the answer to 'Does Goro Akechi want coffee?' is always 'Yes'.]

It's been a long enough couple of days that I could use some, actually.

[He shouldn't be letting Akechi lead him around so easily. He knows he shouldn't. Kurama is a stranger to them. But even if he isn't touching Kurusu, having him closer, being there with both of them, eases that horrible restless ache that had driven him outside to begin with. The want for more is still there under the soothing warmth but it's far more bearable.]
