[ he snorts. ]
not really
i mean what do you really do for colds but wait them out
itll presumably go away eventually
usually once i hit the peak of being super ill it gently fades out and im just left doing those manly sniffles in the privacy of my own room for a few days and then im right as rain
[ medicine isn't an option here but tbh it's not like bro was a big advocate of Actual Childcare. if dave got sick he...
did what he is doing now, actually? hibernated alone and wished blearily for death and contemplated texting his friends to distract himself. it's actually kind of weird as fuck to have people asking about his health and then following up on it.
what do you even do with that? ]

[Honestly like. That's a pretty fair statement and also how Minato deals with colds, but.
It's not how people Minato knows get to deal with colds, because he's kind of a hypocrite that way. Which means he reads and processes Dave's response, but ultimately just ends up responding on his own terms.]
Got it. I'll bring by blankets then. I think I have a can of soup too, that's pretty easy to heat up. You're probably in Ruga with your clothes like they are... can you give me an estimate of where?
[So yeah he read it he's just ignoring it.]

[ ...................
see, no one has ever fucking tried to take care of him when he's sick before? because. again. bro. and on the meteor no one was really free enough to pay attention when dave came down with a minor cold; there was nothing more serious there.
so he just stares blankly at the computer screen for like ten minutes trying to figure out...what...he is feeling here? this is an actual human being who dave has spoken to all of twice (three times now) who is offering to give him a can of soup (dave does not assume it will be made because that would be Pushing It for the limits of believability) and a blanket.
it's quite possibly normal human courtesy stuff but it gives him a swooping sense of disbelief in the pit of his stomach and he thinks back to how bro used to deal with him getting sick and -
nah. not right now. ]
yeah
we should like make addresses but im like
you know where the ruga sign near the wellside end of the district is
im about seven houses in on the lefthandmost side
you dont really have to do any of this though dude its honestly chill

[He doesn't mind that there isn't an answer for awhile; Minato just takes the time to rummage around his own dinky house area to find a bowl and that can of soup and also some blankets, which he has been hoarding.
Because he likes being warm.
So by the time he's gotten all of that, there's a response, and Minato looks it over thoughtfully before he nods to himself.
(This is normal courtesy stuff, Dave.)]
Got it. I'll be there in a bit.
["You don't have to do any of this" sorry he forgot how to read.
Anyway it takes like... fifteen minutes? He's not walking super fast or anything, that sounds like a lot of effort. But he'll get there eventually, counting houses. Uhhh... this one?
KNOCK KNOCK.]

[ normal human courtesy stuff is not stuff he is used to? it's taken him three years of people behaving even halfway nicely to him in close quarters to go "huh." about his childhood, and even so he still has hangups and doesn't expect the kindness.
but when he opens the door he looks...alive?
he's wearing the shades and pajamas still, and he's maybe pale and tired looking, but he admittedly is on record as being sick. ]
...Hey. Uh, it's kind of a mess? Not because I am a mess, but because this entire place is a rundown mess.

[Minato just snorts softly at that. It's good that Dave is still alive? Pale and tired-looking is better than like. Legitimately dying.
So.
He just kind of drapes one of those blankets over his head.]
It's fine. Everywhere is kind of a mess right now. [Which is unfortunate because Minato is at base a tidy person. And nothing is tidy here, nothing at all.
Ah well. For now, he lifts the can.]
Soup?

Soup?
I don't, uh, have pots or anything. I gave those to my friend. [ john actually cooks and also dave is more invested in his friends eating than he is himself. ] But I do know how to get those open with my sword, and I can start a fire. I mean, I have some matches, and also rickety furniture which is wood. If you...want?
[ he just huffs and tugs the blanket down around his shoulders instead. he's maybe shivering, but he's pretty good at stopping himself from coughing. less so from sniffling a little, but. ]

...Yeah, sorry. [ he's not used to that, either, but steps to the side - and despite what he said, this particular house seems to be swept free of debris and dust. dave hasn't really cleared out furniture or anything, but he's made certain efforts not to die of a coughing fit.
there are no traps anywhere, so there is that. ]
Mi casa es su casa.

Mi casa es su casa.
[It's cool, Dave, don't be fussed. Minato just heads right on in, and is grateful for the lack of dust. He's just going to uh...
Tilt his head at that comment because Spanish is not really in his everyday skillset, not even common phrases like that, so right over his head that one goes.
It's fine.
More importantly--]
I guess we'll have to try cooking it over a fire, like you said... [It is. Not Ideal, but what else can they do right now.] Let's do our best. [To not burn anything down.]

If we like, wreck the house I can always just shift to another one.
[ WHO CARES. he's not, like, emotionally attached to the place. he is only staying here because...
it's where he is staying? he's not that interested in living with most of the people here, and the people he would stay with all have other obligations, so he's content to drift. ]

[.... A slow blink.
Uh huh.]
Okay. If you say so.
[They're not doing that.
Instead? He's just gonna go ahead and dump...the rest of the blankets on top of Dave.]
Hold those. [By which he means Stay Warm.] Where are the matches you were talking about...?
Uh huh.]

[ minato how many blankets even is this...but dave produces a half a book of matches from his sylladex, which means effectively it pops out of thin air into his hand, and he then holds it out to minato. ]
Here you go. And the kitchen's, uh, through here? We can use the fireplace or something.

Hey. Ready to meet up? I don't mind where, so pick a spot and we'll head there. Just try not to choose anything too close to where people are trying to live.

Hey. Finished everything up, so here’s the deal. One teacher, one student, and one spar match. Teacher is Caramia over at #B90B3C. Sword-fighting isn’t his strong point, but he can take a hit, so don’t be afraid to try practicing with different fighting styles. He can give you a pointer or two about what to expect. See what you can draw from him, and don’t rely on your speed too much.
Your student is Shouto. #57A7C5. This time I want you to use your speed to give him trouble. Make him react to you face to face instead of relying on that quirk of his. But that’s just my tip.
Oh, and you’ll be sparring Izuku #FFDF00. He’s strong enough to handle even me, so don’t underestimate him like he does himself.
There are no changes. If you back out of this, you’re letting everyone down, so go tell them yourself and don’t waste my time again. I’m not holding your hand through all of this, but you can let me know if you have questions. That’s all.
