[....How is he supposed to respond to this? He just. Stays still as Minato puts his hand on his shoulder, but he actually whips his head around and...blushes a little? When Makoto says it was cool.]
A-Ah, well....I mean, I...probably should've done it earlier, but - I didn't know he thought about me like that, and....
[JUST
trails off
and looks at his fucking feet.]
....Sorry. I'll, uh - start out with that if we run into anything else that strong.
[IS NOBODY THROWING HIM A BONE HERE. he exhales sharply, because in all honesty he is pretty sure Makoto is just ribbing him and won't actually yank him out of bed at 6 a.m.]
[. . . probably]
"Cool" is one word for it, but I'd use "awesome." I'm actually a little jealous.
[he says lightly, teasingly, as adjusts his gloves and approaches the other three, carefully inspecting them for injuries]
[Makoto would actually agree with that, and she glances at Leader, looking him up and down. As for her, thanks to Minato's actions, she's not actually that hurt. Though, it might be worth it to top her defense up again later.]

Which is to say, a shadow is moving across the floor, headed for the group.]
Alright, enough of this teenage bullshit. You've overstayed your welcome, get out.
[The voice is the same as the black man from all the previous conversations, though a bit more scratchy and deep than it was before.
And then, right as the shadow hits everyone, they can hear one more line:]
Go home, Mijo.
[Hm.]
