[keigo’s eyes widen at the grip to his wrist but he doesn’t fight it. the tug only gets the hero to come with him, even if he desperately wants to help the innocent. but he can’t have dabi get caught up in all of it.

he hopes that heroes are close enough to handle the situation.

dabi landing to the ground does get keigo worried. he knows enough now about the villain’s weaknesses and strengths. still, nothing cracks, and dabi continues to pull him along.

keigo spares one last look over his shoulder before they’re further into the darker parts of the alley. more and more, he uses his feathers to scout for their safety, instinctively gripping a little harder to dabi’s hand so he can focus on following their three stalkers.

he’s not sure how long he focuses that, but once he can confirm it, keigo sets his gold eyes on dabi’s frame.]

We lost all three. The two together didn’t follow us though. I heard them confirm we were far away before that explosion. The other tried following but gave up. I..I think they’re heading back to base, but it’s too far away to be positive. I’ll keep more feathers out to be sure we’re not tracked.
