[Someone please find Taako a boyfriend with a kink for praise-giving.]
Well... I do. [Straightening up.] I heard about what happened. From, ah, Uraraka-san. That's why I need to thank you. You and Akemi-san had to do something terrible for our sakes.
Taako-san... [SIGHING A LITTLE. SHE KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE DOING, MISTER?] You know, I'm willing to listen if you want to talk about it.
[The subject will be dropped if he's determined to drop it, though. It's a bummer and she doesn't want to force him to think about unpleasant shit. Bad.]
... But that's not necessary. [Shaking her head? Kind of embarrassed?] All I really did was relay the same information as everyone else.
Well, what is there to talk about? I did it and a teen girl probably rightfully hates me, but that’s like, cool and stuff. I get it. We all get to go home—
Speaking of, I remembered that I actually goodended? Like, I’m beyond insanely powerful and wealthy. I don’t know what craphole you come from, but you could just come hang out with the gang. I know you got friends and stuff that probably don’t murder on football fields normally, but. You know. Just to hang.
When I spoke to her, she said she volunteered— and that you had a plan to ensure no one would be executed. [... A beat.] We realized later that it failed, but... I don't think Uraraka-san holds any ill will towards you or Akemi-san.

I mean, I did do an excellent job in my teen murder, but I don’t ever really wanna do that again.
no subject
I already thanked Uraraka-san. Though... I suppose I should offer her a proper thank you now that we aren't so limited.
[She just smiles a little, sad.]
But please, don't mistake my gratitude for acceptance. I'm sorry you had to do it at all. It wasn't fair to you— or anyone.
no subject
And I guess forget Uraraka, uh. We should be thanking you and stuff the absolute most. I mean. The charades were really good!
[Making the bunny ears behind his own head like she did. Is he deflecting? A little. But it’s fine.]

TAAKO, THAT IS SO MUCH. SHE STARES AT HIM, DUMBLY, BEFORE SHE JUST BLURTS OUT:]
I don't think Uraraka-san hates you at all?
[T, that's a good starting point? Maybe?]
no subject
[He pulls his braid around his shoulder, toying with it, twisting the end.]
I mean, wouldn’t blame her, like I said.

[But, waving a hand.]
Guess it's alright. Everyone's back now, right?
