Akihiko grinned and ruffled the kid's hair before returning to his and Alice's conversation on their project. His hand may have strayed a little longer than needed as he ruffled the kid's hair, but he didn't fully acknowledge it.<br/><br/>He felt eyes glaring at his back, but fully ignored them. He was used to being the center of animosity and gossip. He didn't let it bother him. Though the whispers and looks slowly died down as people began to filter out. He and Alice had finally finished their discussion and began to pack up their stuff.<br/><br/>He made sure that they occasionally talked to the kid, though between those times he'd ruffle the kid's hair with a small grin on his face.<br/><br/>Once they had finished packing, Alice excused herself and he turned to the kid. "What are you doing now, kid?" He asked as he loosely held the strap to his bag that was still on the ground.
