[whatever the reason was, keigo feels as if they’ll know more details soon. there has to be more to it, after all. it was too timed to not be.

despite dabi’s poor attempt to conceal how out of shape he is, keigo does notice. he considers offering his feathers, but he knows how weak to motion sickness the villain is too. it’s why he offers that they walk instead.

dabi’s question does earn a small sigh, but he answers truthfully all the same.]

I don’t really check in anymore. Once I joined the meta army, I told them I had to go silent, but honestly, I was just trying to get away from them.

[he talks quietly, as if anyone could hear them. he knows no one is listening. his feathers were still scouting around to be sure.]

...they wanted me to fall back, had set up their plans to exchange intel and funds with their politician friends by using me. So, I offered that Skeptic place tracking devices on me so I could stay. I can reach out to them if you need me to. I’ll..have to offer something in return, for leaving them cold for so long.

[their funds must be a little dry right now, after all.]
