Akivili shoves their face a little more against the wall with that hand on their neck, gets their wrists twisted behind their back. It makes a kind of weird feeling zip through the meat of their mortal body-- how interesting! What fun, Aha always loves learning new things.
Aha laughs, because they know lies when they hear them. Akivili likes their face, the face that they crafted themself. They spent a lot of time on it, shaping out just the right slope for the jaw and the nose, finding the prettiest colors for the hair and eyes. Putting every little piece together until it formed a lovely whole, and then going out and making the rest of the body from stardust and laughter and rose petals and spilled liquor scraped up from tavern bar tops, a million little joys coalesced into a human shape.
"Mean! And after Aha put so much work into making this mask, you like the others better!"
After all, just because this one is made out of flesh doesn't mean that it isn't a mask, too. But Akivili clearly isn't in much of a mood for idle banter, getting right to the point with that flinty, annoyed voice.
"Ah, you're so forceful. Aha is following their own path, of course! The Nameless are having so much fun, how could Aha resist dropping in and seeing what it's all about?"
The Joyseeker is doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing-- seeking Joy. And if the Elation just so happens to intersect with the Trailblaze, isn't that just happy coincidence?
