"They also usually know how to read and write, too." His tone isn't clipped or bitter; just matter of fact, with maybe a hint of a sigh. Rubbing at his face with a hand, whether to snap himself out of his mood or just to hide behind it momentarily, who knows, but it gives him time to gather his thoughts.

"I... don't really care who it was for, or why," Akito offers after a moment, equally as quiet. "There was just something weird about the entire exchange that... I guess you could say I'm a bit worried? Because of the location of the delivery and timing of it..." He exhales slowly, then gives a small laugh. "Even if the other Foreigners don't think much of me, I still worry about them, you know? And I guess I thought if I knew what daseng meant... But! It's too precarious to pry..."

He trails off, clearly conflicted. Because he is concerned about what it could mean for the Foreigners, even though he trusts Zanru (but he's trusted people before and look how that turned out for Spitfire and Yoshitsune and so many others). If the meaning of 'daseng' raises any alarm bells he would feel obligated to look into it further, though that would break his contract. He wishes he could just ask Zanru about it, but somehow he's sure she wouldn't approve of his curiosity.

"Um, Ayin-san? Thank-you for listening. It was nice to talk to someone about this sort of thing."
