[ of course he's known that anyone can show up here. he should be mindful of it, prepared for it, but he hadn't quite anticipated that a piece of this news would eventually make him sit bolt upright.
he's not worried about endeavor himself. that man hadn't taken anything from them in the same way hawks had, and what's more, the current no. 1 seems hardly like the type that could scheme to do them damage. what makes his heartbeat quicken is dabi. how dabi is taking this. as fuzzy and blurred as his memories are, he remembers enough, he remembers dabi's frenzied battle against the family he'd never once mentioned.
what would dabi want him to say here, do here? should he stay out of it, again, still, like he did always in their original world? in the months they've spent here, have they moved past the point for him to ask, to even be... concerned? he's terrible at this. with something this... personal dredged up, he finds that he can't see where the boundaries lie, the line in the sand washed out by the number of times they've run up against it, walked around it, smeared its impression.
like dipping a toe in the water, he starts small, or at least what he feels is small, and safe. the rest can wait. ]
