[Ah, good~ He doesn't want to incite any more anger or violence from her. They're both pooped, so they should be trying to wind down rather than getting wound up again.]

Sorry, sorry. Heh...

[However slowly it took for it to sink in, he finally realizes Kaga's a lot like Bakugo in that she hounds his ass because she cares and wants to see him do better for himself and others. Annoying though it might be at times, he appreciates it.]

Alright then. So long as you're sure.

[He understands she's tougher than the average person, but it never hurts to check. So when silence falls over them, he's content to close his eyes for a bit, at least until she pipes up again.]

...it's okay to be like that, I think. To have a side of you that wants to maim and kill... So long as you keep it under wraps and don't let it define who you are on the whole. Because clearly that's not all you are, Kaga. You're kind and empathetic, considerate of other people's feelings... Though I'm glad you didn't pummel me to a pulp, heh.

[Thankfully he does miss the blush, staring up at the sky, himself. Oblivious little god. He just wants her to feel okay about herself.]

......yeah, like you, I do have a similar side. One I'm afraid of letting out for exactly that reason. I don't want to lose control again like I did at Brasov. Even now I still feel regret at how I behaved there, despite it being somewhat warranted...

[He finally meets her eyes, nodding and with the faintest of blushes on his cheeks.]

I'll take what you say to heart, Kaga. To do better for everyone so I can protect them when the time comes.
