Yes, that's perfect. Exactly what I imagined when I asked. He'll make fun of me for it, certainly, so I don't want you to make a secret of my commissioning it whatsoever; in fact, ask him to model certain poses for ideas if you'd like. I intend to be as open and shameless about this as can be in order to save myself some teasing.
He will probably be continually perplexed by the one we had to make for Morrigan, so I doubt much will phase him right now. I would offer that one, but it is less... sly looking, and Morrigan appears quite attached.
[ Sorry not sorry he already drew body pillows of Akira. For Akira's cat. ]
Is it just the cover you are needing or would you want a pillow included?
[honey i will tell you right now you lowballed that into oblivion. but a reasonable price will be had, that's about double the higher end in my experience.]
Please and thank you. I won't ask for an estimate on how soon it will be done, but I will give you half in advance as my down payment.
[ teach me the ways of the lewd body pillow purchaser, peace-sensei. ]
I will be honest, the base for the one I mae for Morrigan is still in my art folder. I can edit it to meet your criteria, so it shouldn't be too long. The printing process will take the longest amount of time.
If that is fine with you, I will let you know as soon as it returns from the printers.
I will have to inform Elliot of this, we would be poor friends to not celebrate Akira's birthday.
Although please let me know if you have any specific plans with him on the day. I wouldn't want to interrupt. We can always postpone, and it's nice to celebrate a birthday over a couple of days.
My plans will only take up the morning, don't worry. You're free to spoil him once we return from Pesgare together. Though I'm certain he'll want to sleep instead...
[He's taking Akira out much too early to watch the sunrise together and then have a breakfast buffet. It's gonna be fun for one of them.]
Thank you, Kitagawa. I'm sure you're more than aware that he's been having a... rather hard time recently, and because I'm no good with comforting words I'd like it if he had a wonderful time on his birthday. I'll do my best to keep my foot out of my mouth on that day too.
[Because you will Never guess who apparently loves the taste of his own foot.]
It's hard to do that, but I think he will. Not overnight, no, but I think the more people show they're upset at him for that sort of attitude the more he may give thought to change. He treasures all of us.
[He pauses, typing out half a follow up sentiment (Could you let me know if) before deleting it and letting the message rest there.]
Bit by bit, yes. The more we remind him, the more it will sink in.
...
... I would say the same for you, as well, although perhaps not on the same level as I do not know you as well. But do remember having to reiterate the importance of not hiding injury from people who care about you.

[ dramatic music ]
I am happy to listen to a request, though.
allow us to hear hei's yells in accompaniment
I'd like something of Akira to sleep with that doesn't make fun of me any.
bless you peace
...
... Ah, you mean something like the gift Yosuke received at Christmas? Perhaps not quite so risque, but...
i am always here for u becci
Or at the very least the illusion of innocence. Akira is quite sly when he wants to be.
i can always rely on you peace
There is a moment, from what I remember, where you see a plan come together in his eyes.
Would something along those lines be appropriate?
[ A subdued, sly victory hiding in Akira's eyes. He feels he has seen it here and in his memories. ]

Yes, that's perfect.

How much?

no subject
Morrigan may keep his, I wouldn't want to take such a precious gift from him... And just the cover is fine, I can obtain the pillow myself.
no subject
I see. Well, if you are wanting a full sized one, which sounds as though it would be the better choice, I can make a custom cover for around $30-40.
[ or just pretend I asked a reasonable price, peace, i've never bought a body pillow in my sweet and pure life... ]

That's acceptable. If you could manage it before April Fool's Day, all the better!
But I won't deadline you to that.
no subject

[ April Fool's Day... why does that sound so familiar. Like someone told him something about that day at like... 4am.....
...
Oh. ]
Is that Akira's birthday?
no subject
[he LOVES IT.]

But I think we would probably consider dinner, so our plans should combine quite nicely to make an excellent day for him.

I hope if anything comes of it, he will learn to lean on friends and loved ones more in the future. But that is perhaps a longer term goal.

Of course. Thank you for your concern as always, Kitagawa, and I'll look forward to that call about the body pillow.
no subject
Yes. I will do my best to have it ready before Akira's birthday.
