[ He wasn't looking Bakugo's way when that snarl twists its way onto the younger man's face...not until he throws that disdain directly his way. That's when he can feel it. The anger and frustration that practically permeates the hero as he tilts his gaze back to the spikier blond. He doesn't flinch when he slams his fist against his palm, the explosion crackling against his knuckles as it does, despite the fact his eyes widen in response. The words don't sting so much now, but he's not about to take it lying down either. Especially as his own fists ball up at his sides as he grits his teeth.

He appreciated the swift proverbial kick in the ass. A reminder. Whether he'd found himself wallowing in complacency, slowing down, or just going soft...it's refreshing to see this kind of fire again. But he wasn't about to go and thanking him for that just yet. The guy has to get unlucky enough to be shuffled into the deck with the rest of them first. ]

[ Guess there's no harm in showing him around. The plus was that being a low rank meant not many people gave you the time of day! Less people to have to tell to piss off. The lingering offer holds on the table though. Later, perhaps. He's still contenting himself in getting a view of this faux ocean. One that he couldn't help but wonder how far it really goes out. ]
