Akira's lips parted to speak, but his words died in his throat and he sighed instead. "I doubt you're all just like me," he said at last. "Nor the people who made up the society I grew up in. You...you and your friends are much, much more pleasant. Real."
The corner of his mouth twitching upward in a bitter smirk, the brown-haired young man shook his head. "You're preaching to the choir, Yuri-san. I ask that you not judge me before you get to know me and I will do my best to do the same." He bowed his head apologetically.
"The fact is...I gave up everything for this life. Not only does money not make you better than anyone else, it makes you worse - far worse. I've always wanted to be a...for lack of a better term, a 'commoner', but I've been restricted by...certain things that were expected of me precisely because of family wealth and reputation. You don't know how lucky you are." He stuck his hands in his pockets.
"I may just seem like an ordinary person now, but...I lack the life experience that people like you grew up with. I'm sure you've already picked up on this, but to confirm your suspicions, I'm nothing more than a sheltered, spoiled brat who doesn't know his place in this ruthless, real world, cut off from everything I once knew." He cast Yuri a wry grin. "It's exciting, but at the same time...terrifying. I need help to learn how to go about fitting into this lifestyle, so I'd appreciate if you'd be frank with me if I ever do anything out of step."

Yuri stood there and listened to Akira attempt to explain himself, remaining silent until he was finished. The man's expression more or less a blank one. Though he couldn't help but inwardly laugh at how the guy asked not to be judged yet pretty much confirmed what he had already suspected.
Although truth be told, he knew exactly how lucky he was. He wouldn't wish for that kind of lifestyle if his life depended on it. Yuri'd had his fair share of run-ins with the type that Akira was talking about. The shallow, fake nobles from Grande Ile for instance, though not all of them were that bad. Yet this guy seemed to be just as naive and clueless as the ones he did know personally... such as Luke, and Dove. Man, they were just coming out of the woodwork weren't they?
"Fair enough," Yuri said eventually. "Trust me, if you do something stupid, you'll hear about it."
Yeah, being frank was not something he really had a problem with.
