Put those items back immediately. They may be unclaimed at the moment, but there's no way to be sure their owners won't be looking for them soon enough.
[ Yeah, he may be a little salty from losing his own sword, but he truly hates to think about someone looking for their items, needing said items, and not even having a chance at finding them again.
Stealing is wrong and you should stay in school, Akira. He makes a face at the offered herbs. Even if it's blazeweed, he hasn't unlocked that threat yet in our timeline, so this is just some stinky grass. ]
Why would you want to keep such a foul-smelling thing for yourself in the first place? Put it back this instant.
[ Akira only ever been around hard drugs in a peripheral way, when they'd chased down Kaneshiro... Strict as Japan's laws were on substance abuse, blazeweed is about as unfamiliar to him as it is to Percival—he has his guesses, though. ...Either way, he'd rather not be getting in a row with a stranger while he's trying to balance between tree branches. (Okay mother!!!!!!!!) ]
Just curious.
[ He sets the miscellaneous items down with a shrug and readjusts his hoodie secured around his waist. ] —This is mine, by the way.
[ (Mostly joking, but in case Percy can't tell which articles actually belonged to Akira...) Anyway, even if this guy's a killjoy, Akira doesn't mind helping him look for his missing sword. Without any additional prompting, he starts climbing even higher up the diminishing trunk, until he spots a promising glint of red and gold. He shakes the base of the branch attached to it to catch his companion's attention. ]
[ Akira ignores his highbrow comments and leans forward, applying half of his weight so the branch drifts lower—though he stops it just before it's within reach, just to be contrary. ]
[ He considers his response and ends up shooting back little more than a cheeky grin. ]
That's a secret.
[ (He seems perfectly happy calling him 'Thief', doesn't he?) And to make that a self-fulfilling prophecy, Akira slips back down the other side of the tree, cunningly pocketing one of the smaller items during his descent. His smile broadens once his feet touch ground, and he casually waves back up at Percy. ]
If you catch me, maybe I'll tell you.
[ Meaning, it's time to jet before Officer Percival can give chase! Bye!!! ]

This it?

Akira's sarcasm also goes totally over his head. ]
I'll just have to take your word for it.
[ He tries to follow, but stops when he sees a gleam of that familiar steel, grinning in relief. ]
Yes, it is. Excellent work. You have some use after all, thief.

Does it have a name?

...Do you?

But Akira did technically just save his ass, so... ]
Lohengrin. I'm Percival, and you?
