[Venti still waggles his finger.]

As cute as you are that won't work on me.

[He gives Akira a short wink before he goes back to scolding the rabbit.]

We're going to take you back home and if you're sweet enough again maybe your girlfriends will come to visit you.

[He wouldn't dare keep anyone from love, after all. The rabbit continues to blink and who knows if it can actually understand Venti or not (he doesn't use animal magic!) but the rabbit does seem to settle down on his lap. And with that, Venti scoops him right up before he can get away again.]

Ehe! Maybe these little working jobs aren't so bad in the end.
