[afailedmurder]

Excuse me, McGonagall-sensei! Do you have a moment?

[Something in McGonagall's eyes seems to lighten up in recognition for a moment, but she doesn't comment about whatever crossed her mind]

I currently don't have any plans. Would I be correct in supposing you'd like to spend the evening with me?

[afailedmurder]

Yes, and he'd be going with Will-san, who needs a sixth friend so he can leave.

Though if anything goes wrong, we'd prefer to stay together. Truthfully, the only reason why we're splitting up is because we're not reliable alibis when it comes to one another.

I should inform you Mr. Graham approached me to inquire about my plans, too. He did mention he wanted to spend the night with Saihara, but it seems he believes you and Saihara will spend the night together.

Have you talked to Mr. Graham yet? Because this seems like a contradiction in your plans.

[Her tone hardens when she mentions Will, looks like she's not fond of that guy]

[afailedmurder]

I intend to talk to him next. I'd heard he'd approached Saihara, but it seems like he ended up too worried about me belong alone... which is, I suppose, a reasonable worry. I'm not a terribly trusting person. But I think of everyone else here, you're the least likely to kill me.

[a pause. he knows he shouldn't, but can't stop himself from addressing that tone]

...Will Graham is not the monster that everyone seems to think he is, you know. He's been very kind to me.

[piertotumlocomotor]

Indeed, he did mention something similar to that. [That he was worried about Akechi being alone -- and that he thought McGonagall was the person least likely to kill him. He's not wrong, but...yeah.

She doesn't seem impressed about Akechi's defense of Will, but she refrains from sounding like she's attacking Akechi's opinion.]

I feel there's some measure of sincerity regarding his kindness towards you, but I'd like to spend as little time as possible near that man, though.

That said, I shall also inform him of these developments. He may trust you, but in a place like this another person corroborating what's said is bound to spare us all some trouble.

[afailedmurder]

[definitely irritated at "some measure," but he ignores it and slaps on a passive-aggressive smile]

Then how fortunate you won't have to.

But of course. Communication is key. Let's meet up again if anything changes before nightfall.
