[ Akari's anti-violence strategy: advocate for thirst in place of violence at all junctures...! ]
Now that you mention it, that IS what I'm saying, huh...
Basically, take advantage of the element of surprise. Even in business. Or normal conversation.
I feel like I use the back-strike technique a lot in my daily life, now that I think about it. Why did you teach me something like that, anyway? I can't stop applying it.
It's like you've infected me with your nefarious thoughts.
[ Or it's because she's actually also someone who is prone to thriving on nefarious thoughts... ]
[ So no violence while thirsting? Because there are only so many ways he can interpret that back strike in her daily life...
(Maybe his nefarious thoughts do extend beyond tearing Arceus a new one, after all.) ]
Nefarious thoughts? I only meant to offer a helpful little trick in filling out your pokedex pages! The one using said trick for total world domination is you!
[ Volo, at least, can say in good conscience he didn't smack Giratina over the head with a pokeball, at least! ]
To think the very star of the Galaxy Team is such a terrible influence... What do you think they would say, if you were to partake in such wicked plots?
[ It's all a big joke, you see, just stringing her along, some light teasing adding to his friendly act, but... ah, his curiosity can be oh so dangerous at times. ]
Well, I'd like to think that there would be a lot of "No, I can't believe it," but I think there would be an equal amount of "See, I told you that outsider couldn't be trusted," too.
It's okay, though. I'm not mad about it.
I think that's just how people are.
[ Her further thoughts about violence while thirsting can remain a mystery for another day. For now, at least, there's this sober rumination: the knowledge that no amount of sacrifice or martyrdom will ever be enough to prove one's innocence. But, as Akari says, maybe that's just how people are. ]
