"Benitora?" Akira said, answering Bontenmaru's inquiry with a readiness that was downright suspicious until Bontenmaru noticed the subject of his inquiry standing as still as a statue, well within earshot (but apparently suffering from the delusion that if he didn't move, Akira wouldn't know he was there). "Passable, I suppose. More potential than actual skill. Still, we were all young, once."
"You were a lot cuter as a kid." Mostly, Bontenmaru remembered thinking Akira couldn't possibly ever become – well, what he was today. Just went to show everyone made mistakes every now and then, even members of the Four Emperors.
