Hands trembling, raised in defense “ — all i’m asking is that you hear me out . “
unprompted ask. always accepting.
This guy wanted to be heard? He wanted him of all people to pause and listen? That was a bold move to try and pull but Dabi supposed he’d heard all sorts of pleadings right before he reduced someone to ashes - if they were lucky enough to speak at all on their own behalf. There’s no real harm in taking a moment to listen to a guy who trembled like a dog about to piss itself; but neither was there any value. At least none that he could directly perceive.
“Make it quick. I’m a busy guy yanno.” Dabi finally replies, letting a few seconds of mild consideration tick by if only to make the guy sweat a little more. The ‘make yourself useful’ goes unspoken.
