[ For Akira, this isn't quite like infiltrating a Palace or hunting down a mark in Mementos, but the overall idea is the same; take down tyrants, help the oppressed.
The Temple had managed to send advance notice to their beneficiaries, and so it had only been a matter of arriving to the right location at the right time—no need to run around herding cats, figuratively speak. ...It's keeping the group from scattering, when trouble arises, that might pose a challenge. (Akira's had teammates of course, but he's never had to cover so many civilians in combat, and it seems neither of the two boys really know what to expect. His own inventory consists of a pistol, a knife, a persona... and a crystal.) ]
...If you grab their attention, I'll attack from behind.
[ (Underhanded tactics, but hey, he's a thief.) ]
—Don't miss.
[ (He knows from their previous excursion that Prompto's an ace shot, so that's more a joke than anything else...) Still, the gunslinger probably won't be able to see Akira sneaking about either, if the crystals really work they way they'd been described by the acolytes.
And as for the rest of the caravan... Akira tilts his head toward the group behind them. ]
