[inherited it, but didn't learn to make good use of it until after he died. touya could be an arrogant or angry brat, but not much of a sarcastic one. latent smartassism came out roaring when dabi was born. along with that venomous tongue of his. if he actually could stand to care, he might be amused to learn of the times endeavor's PR people lectured him about his public image. when he decided to follow their advice and how many times he told them to fuck off. add more ammo to his smoking gun.
as for twisting a compliment... it's a despicable skill. still, enji's thrown him for a loop once or twice already, so take some pride. dabi's not completely unflappable, much as he'd like to believe himself to be. case in point, that last bit of shade towards his dick sees his lower jaw drop a bit. plus the half-made incredulous grin as he stares at himself in the windows. did the great hero endeavor just drop a grade-school insult at him? he's completely scandalized! and actually entertained for once. wow.]
That your way of askin me to get rid of these too?
[and flicks the hem of his pants. ironically his voice probably has the least amount of venom in it than he's ever talked to endeavor before with. mostly because it'd been truly amusing. and thankfully he has yet to torch his dick off, so at least that's a relief. there have been times he'd wondered...
he craves seeing endeavor brought low in front of him, humiliated and destroyed, but he doesn't want it done to some pathetic, whimpering sobber with no spine. the fire he's getting back for his jabs is heartening while ticking him off simultaneously. like seeing endeavor continued to do heroics even after all he exposed about him. this asshole's still out there flying around in the sun, but that means he gets to smack him down even harder next time.
(fuck that old geezer. dabi's gonna burn his damn feet into blackened nubs if he gets a hold of him.)
oh but you bet your ass he's looking over his shoulder to see his father's reaction to that new lingo on the streets. breaks the villain's face into a wide grin; that is fucking perfect. oh he could've left it at the acronym explanation, but why bother stopping there when he could shovel it on? his turquoise eyes look like two flames flickering with delight in the darkness above his skeleton smile.]
Uh-huh. And I'm dead. [dabi sticks the chopsticks in his mouth and lazily swings his chair around, head following his body after a second like a weird lounge while his tongue plays with the bamboo rods. well well, never thought enji had the capacity to blush. ah should've done that sooner.
someone had to tell the man the truth sooner or later. tabloids have a grand time snapping photographs of that blue-clad ass and then hell if endeavor's ever looked himself up online. wow. luckily he doesn't pursue it. the crass topic has run its course. hm... maybe he should come up with a way to mar natsuo; then all the male todoroki could have some sort of disfigurement due to burns. (yes, those are the kinds of random thoughts he gets.) well, they are talking about his siblings, so...]
What's your wife think about that? I know she left rehab to go see ya.
[about what, he has no idea, but endeavor didn't stay in his fucking hospital bed or give up being a hero, so he's pretty sure she had something to do with the man's refusal to expire.]
he can tell all his loyal interns he learned a new word "somewhere"
