When Shido stands Akechi starts to gather up his coat and gloves, pulling them back on with practiced ease. He doesn't hesitate to lean into Loki's power once Shido starts shoving the door open, and by the time the older man glances over there's not a trace of Akechi's normal clothing to be seen. He doesn't offer any explanation for it, just makes sure he has his weapons before he moves to follow Shido out the door - though he's sure to leave some distance between them.
He doesn't miss Shido's heavier breathing, nor the fact that the odd warmth from inside seems to be following them. For a moment he wonders if it isn't some quirk of his Metaverse outfit... but he'd been freezing before, and the air still feels warm against his face. There's really only one thing that even kind of makes sense right now, and much as he hates the idea of acknowledging it he hates the idea of ignoring it even more.
"It wasn't the power keeping the shop warm, was it?"
