It figures that they didn't notice. While he didn't speak it all that softly, the boys did seem to be wrapped up in their clothes shopping. He'll have to get closer and speak up.
It takes him a good long minute or so of thinking, no, debating to himself whether he should approach. With the way Akito and his mirror likeness are, it seems almost intrusive to break into that. The whole 'attempting friendliness' thing is like some barely understandable foreign custom that he'd rather stab to death than go through the awkward, uncomfortable motions of. That sort of thing has been a constant debate in his mind ever since his first meeting with The Will. Whether or not doing something within her expectations needs to be done then and there, or can be put off and ignored. It'd be easy to just pass them by after all and save things for another day. That's why she was firm about wanting to see him struggle—because the other options are so easy.
In the end he does approach. While he's irritated with himself, he acknowledges it'll probably go quickly, which is fine with him. Might as well get to it. He needs clothes for himself, anyway. He can always slip off to another section to do that (whether or not 'afterward' is very soon or a while from now) once he's dealt with this.
Stopping a meter or two away from them, Accelerator speaks up with strong inflections. "Akito. Who's the brat with you?" Twin. Clone. Doppelganger. Whichever it is, the exact details don't particularly matter. He skips over asking that and goes straight to the more important question.
