I think ... it's because I encouraged him to write to them in the first place?

[ listen. he doesn't know either. but let him just back up and try to remember this convo ]

So, I told him the details about the roles, because apparently Historians don't have the information we do about those right now [ he's. he's literally still in shock over that ], then I told him about the numbers in exchange for the Shield because we're going public with those anyway, and then we exchanged titles. Oh, right, he's the, um, the Swan Princess. And he knows a Vizier who's a villain. And also Sousei was a Historian.

[ THIS IS SO MUCH. he pauses. ]

Akechi is kind of a blabbermouth?
