Akutare didn't notice NiGHTS come in at first. Not until he had touched his hair, anyway.

Akutare waved his arm frantically. "Not the hair, not the hair!" But once he finally stopped, he looked over. So Hallucination-Jester had come after all. He guessed hallucinations must have liked to party too. "Oh, hi," he responded, just a little suspicious. Last time Hallucination-Jester had talked to him, he had ended up confusing the hell out of the Dark Hero.

But really, he was more worried about people thinking him crazy for talking to thin air.
