Shoto pauses, giving him an odd look. "What better than this?" He really likes it. The mug is perfect, the food takes him back home where he desperately misses. The company? Seeing his smiling face in his doorway was a full year, every day, worth of gifts.

"Ah..." he looks a little uncomfortable. He used to be a little more loose with letting the words fly as he required, maybe still not as bad as Bakugo. "They're crass. It's just how he is, he usually doesn't mean anything by it, but it's a lot of cursing."

He gives a soft, small smile, "You did..." make it, "I'm thankful." Considering the dent he's made in it? Yeah. He's really enjoyed it and enjoyed sharing it while they chat as much as they can where chatting is concerned.

Reading over the whole thing he 'ohh's as he starts to understand, but just as if the words were coming from his guest's mouth, he doesn't say anything really until he's done reading. "I understand. Then what do you mean that there are more curses around the holiday?" Is his understanding. Excuse him as he chews away after speaking of course, offering up some of the last bits before Toge can start typing and it isn't annoying him in the midst of it.

Shoto would be horrified to hear they're not friends until things were explained to him a little more flatly, but he's engrossed in learning about curses and his frown says a lot about his mindset. "You'd never be able to sleep in my world, you'd have to work every day all day." He can't imagine what kind of horrors are birthed from the negative feelings of the horrors of his own world. Maybe ones of his own, too.

"I understand a little more." He doesn't know if he could fight monsters. "It must have been frightening learning to deal with monsters."

Shoto hopes the Elders aren't listening, or if they are he can bend their ear on the importance of proper sleep for their soldiers. Let him give them a damn good talking to as to how to properly treat the bodies of their warriors if there isn't so many of them. He'll pull rank, son of the number one if he has to. ...Or they're not here and can't listen and he just will be upset about hearing that would be a possibility on the constant. He can understand sometimes, but not always.

He takes all of this in, noting at approximately what the head shake was for and then continues to read.

"I'd hope they were smarter than that, that it isn't more than a few days. Sometimes people who can protect others might have to. There's no reason to work you to actual death."

Which brings him to the idea of Toge being outclassed? "After seeing you fight, after seeing how you move... It isn't easy to think you'd be outclassed by anything. I was remarking to one of my friends how fluidly and easy it was to work with you."

Alright that's better than working him tirelessly. A week is a long time, not unheard of in his world but also not ideal. Then again, once more, they're short staffed essentially. He's had instances like this.

"A week is still a long time." He has taken to picking up the cup again, sipping from one side silently while he reads the other part of the message. He remembers this but all the same.

That smile makes him falter, the words leave him for the chance to see him do it. Eventually he remembers to complete what he's saying. "All this but it's still surprising, Inumaki. I'm sure there are pro heroes back home that wouldn't be able to successfully walk into a fight with you. Myself included. I'm not a pro hero." He offers over the drink while he's speaking. "There are very few I can think of. A man by the hero name of Edgeshot maybe. That's only maybe. Perhaps if someone had regeneration, or if there were a way to dodge. I don't even think my teacher could." He finishes with an easy remark of: "I guess I'm saying you're impressive, but I wanted to elaborate." There may be a few other heroes maybe? Some villains that he knows of that might be able to withstand.

While Shoto is playing fantasy sports in his head, he notes, specifically that above the conversation, he's just happy for the company. For this particular company.

There it is again. Distracting and pretty to see on an equally pretty face. The marks that he knows are there aren't ever anything but just present. Nothing more, nothing less. Besides... It's kind of like smile marks if he thinks about it.

And he is thinking about it. His phone actually chimes at him again before he looks away, surprised at the noise and fumbles his phone to be able to read it once he does get it onto the message. Alright, message.

"No, I can't imagine that." he says at first, answering as he's reading. "After seeing what I saw and knowing that he... your world has some incredibly strong people, Inumaki. It makes me want to train harder." He will never be able to withstand it, he's certain, but he doesn't let things beat him that easily. His eyes come up off his screen. "I'd like to hear more about him, if you'll tell me more. I like hearing about you."

Normally when the guy you're crushing on if you know it or not sends you an essay that you've been able to finish up some food and re-fill that drink-length, you should be jealous, right?

Maybe if you weren't Shoto Todoroki.

All of these words make him happy to see. That Toge has someone so precious to him, that can take every bit of what he dishes out by accident even maybe. He says 'talk', and Shoto does have to wonder if he means with actual words sometimes. That part makes him a little sad, that he will never be able to do that for him, but jealous? How could he be? Not when it makes Toge this happy.

"I should hope that one day I would be able to meet him, he seems kind hearted. He seems like someone I would like to know. Especially with your kind words about him." Any friend of Toge is a friend of Shoto's now.

Shoto would listen, too. Gladly listen. Even if it was a litany about actual romantic feelings. If that's something that Toge wanted to talk about, Shoto is over his angsty teenage years. However, he's gotten nothing but the fond and kind memories of it and it's only left his heart warm and it's only left him happy to know that even if... No, when. They leave this place, even with all that he knows, Toge will be in good hands with this Yuta and their friends. He'll ignore all the ideas that he could die any moment, just because he would never want to think of that.

"Nice?" He asks, "I think having friends that close is the best thing in the world. Until I got to UA last year." ish. "I hadn't had a friend. I wasn't allowed to have friends and by the time I maybe was more independent, I wasn't a nice person." Not like Yuta, or Midoriya, and that's something he will always keep in mind when trying to better himself. Just how he was treated, too. Or for that matter, nice like Toge. "I have had great examples to help me understand who I want to be. Present company included."

No this is so different from when Bakugo is around, or Midoriya, or anyone else. It's these small things like the way he's tilting his head to listen. It's almost something that makes Shoto have to pause what he's saying to let his brain catch up.

Again it takes his eyes a little while to go to the screen, they're focused on his guest and trying to feel out the difference in why this isn't like sitting with his friends. He has kissed a different friend, twice, so ??

It takes him a moment or two, he's distracted in his mind, but he's dedicated to the conversation. There's more names of friends and they are instantly packed into his head. More things to learn about Toge that he's happy to know. "Your friends and other sorcerers?" He's almost certain that it's a yes, but he has to ask. There are people he knows that know the very rarest of quirkless people who have remained quirkless unlike some.

"It's alright if you feel flattered, but it's just the truth. If you didn't make me feel that way, I wouldn't say so." Maybe he can just... maybe Toge has more information about anything than Bakugo? Probably not but, a shot to shoot so. "You make me feel a lot of things, all good things." He assures.

It does read a little teasing, maybe a might bit bratty, and it's nothing that's offsetting. Shoto thinks he really should do what he wants in that regard. Maybe it's selfish, because that means he can enjoy his company, but it's how he feels.

"I'm glad you are." Are what, brain? "Doing what you want." Nice save.

He's looking down again, at the text. He can hear Bakugo's words echoing in his damn head, not just because the man is that loud that it still echoes. So... again he's going to try to feel this out, whatever a 'this' is. "Does that mean you feel strongly, or that you don't want to, but do?"

It's not bad in the least. Where this is concerned? Even better. He will continue to be selfish in that way.

With the screen to allow him the time to not have to look at the object of his question line, it makes it easier to collect his thoughts. He feels too selfish when the idea of feeling strongly regarding people dying, in what context he doesn't know, not affecting Toge anymore... or maybe ever? He's not ready to reveal the darker demons of his story, not ready to see what face Toge makes over them. Not when all he really wants is that smile back.

"Maybe that's a way to feel about it, all the same." Shoto offers, "There have been a lot of people die in my life. My own brother died in a fire before I really, really knew him." There are things extenuating there, but he foregoes them. "I feel sad it happened, but I don't feel the same way my mother or my siblings do. So maybe that's a way that you do feel, that it does register. Just differently than other people."

The touch is kindly and he's reminded all over again just how...? Sweet. Toge can be. It's not that it didn't affect him at all, but certainly just as stated, not as much as the people who grew up loving him. Shoto nods his head as he reads, they've gotten onto a heavier topic than he intended and in an opposite way of the intentions. He agrees specifically with the sentiment and lets a long moment of quiet pass between them. Speaking up soon after it.

"I pulled us somewhere unkind, Inumaki." he admits, "I'm not good at communicating." He tries, he really does but sometimes it goes awry. "I meant that I felt strongly toward you as well." As he had, amongst the heavier talk, mentioned Shoto in there with people he cares about very obviously.
