[ arms in the air!!!!! ]

Alright~!! Let's go, let's go!! I want to stand on the mountain peak~!!!!

Alright...

[His mask flashes with blue embers, and there's a definite increase in the effort Akechi has to exert to carry Kano. Then it dissolves into wisps of flame, and a demon woman appears, hovering in the air over the stream.]

[ The fire makes Kano yelp in surprise, and Akechi is relieved of the effort to carry Kano because he struggles to get Akechi to let go and let him down. ]

Yikes!!! Is that Lilim?? Hi, Lilim!!! -—Is your face okay, Akechi???!?

Ack-

[Okay, okay, he's putting Kano down! Before they both go for an unexpected swim.]

It's fine, the fire is just a visual effect.

[Lilim gives a playful laugh, then a wave and a wink.]

Hi there.

[ He could do without the horrifying visual effect, he thinks, but the fear and panic just kicks into overdrive when Lilim opens her mouth and speaks, honestly not expecting a reply.

...He awkwardly waves back. And also gives Lilim a wink, just in case that's the customary greeting here. ]

Hi, hi, my name's Kano!! Nice to meet you, Lilim!! I was hoping you could do something for me? I was just thinking, both you and Akechi are su~per strong, so I was wondering!! If you were strong enough to carry me off into the mountain tops? Do you think we can try?

She knows everything I do. She's technically a part of me, just...a part I gained in the Outlands, rather than something based on my own nature.

[That last part, he feels, is important to clarify. Lilim leans forward to examine Kano, casually letting gravity pull her shirt away from her chest.]

Oooh, you want to go for a ride, do you?

[ He hopes Lilim drops him off a cliff or something so he can die and not have to remember this but!!!!! it's okay, he will deal, having absolutely no idea what the difference is between a familiar gained in the Outlands and one based off one's nature—- clearly, like attracts like, or something, so it's all the same to him. ]

Mmhmm, that's right! Can I ride you?

[ Just pretend, just pretend. Ugh, he wants to curl up in a hole somewhere and die. ]

[Kano can pretend, but Akechi flushes bright red at his Persona's innuendo.]

That's enough, Lilim.

Oh, fiiiiiine. Spoilsport. Sure, I can give a ride.

[ Oh thank god, Akechi saves his life and Kano will return the favor later but killing him and getting him thrown into hell. ]

Aw, spoilsport~ Don't be jealous, Akechi! I bet Lilim would be glad to give you a ride later~ [ But right now it's his turn!!! ...hm. ] Where should I hold on?

[ Is he just wrapping his arms around her or will she dangle him by the ankles? at this point, both options seem plausible. ]

You can hold on anywhere you like~

[...That's it. He crouches down and splashes the river water at Lilim, not caring that he feels the splash of cold too. She resists ice, anyway.]

[ Ahaha... a throwback to half a year ago, truly.

Kano laughs and goes ahead behind Lilim and drapes his arms over her shoulders, a proper piggyback ride rather than trying to sit on top of somebody's shoulders if he really wants to be tall. This feels a little safer, somehow, because he gets to hold on with his own volition. ]

Haha, aw, don't be like that, Akechi~ Don't mind, don't mind, I'll warm you up, Lilim~ Is this good? You'll make sure to never let me go, right?
