[Oh no, a visitor and he hasn't even had the time to set up his room... Time to panic!! Except it doesn't even occur to him that his room is a haphazard mess, currently, still filled with all of the books left behind by its former resident.
When he opens the door to a hyur with messy hair, he blinks up at him with a friendly—albeit confused—smile.]
[...Oh my god? Cat ears? Is this man a cosplayer or is he actually, like, nya? Please forgive Akira for staring, but also, accept this basket chock full of welcome gifts. Within is a freshly baked pie, a welcome card, and a coupon for "all the coffee you can drink".]
Just swinging by to drop off a welcome basket. You're... [checks notes] ....G'raha tia, right? Meowdy, neighbor.
[He wants to pet them sooooo bad, but it would be rude to just, y'know, reach out and floof a guy's ears within minutes of meeting him. Maybe in a week from now? Will they be on friendly enough terms that he can pet those ears in a week from now???]
Oh. Sorry, I thought you spoke the language. Translation: greetings and salutations, new guy.
[The language being cat puns?? He's not that sort of catboy!!
But, anyways, he can just roll with this. Thankfully he's not aware of the internal monologue about ear fluffing...]
Ah, I see. It seems the universal translation is not up to snuff, then.
[He's letting it slide...]
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am G'raha Tia, formerly of the Students of Baldesion, currently... a wizard? ' [Since that's apparently?? the term??]
[Thank you for kindly sparing his miserable life, G'raha. Akira would promise he'd never make another cat pun, but making promises is a sin, y'know? He'll make an attempt at restraining himself, if nothing else.
He offers a brief, casual bow.]
Kurusu Akira. Don't be a stranger, okay? I'm not hard to find, but I'm usually in the kitchen cooking up curry for the rest of the manor.

Curry? What sort?
