[ Akechi's tone is easy enough, but his thoughts are racing. He's absolutely not intending to offer a Bond to Akira. If they were operating with the same amount of knowledge, then maybe. But when he's sure Akira would decline the offer without a second thought? Not a chance.
But rejecting him without discussion doesn't feel right, either. Whatever tenuous connection they may have had before doesn't count for much right now, but that doesn't mean it never existed. Akechi can't feel any more comfortable with closing the door on that option forever than he could with making it prematurely.
So he'll just... avoid both. ]
There may be more Monsters than Witches, but there's hardly a shortage of the latter. Even if we can rely on familiars for some time, we'll need a proper bond eventually.
I can't imagine something like finding reliable allies will pose much trouble for you.
