[ YET. ]
It was insightful. I imagine you fared well?
I haven't spoken to Izuku yet but Dave's been a good source of information. I'll get in touch with them to see what they already have and compare it to the public headcount.
If this place has the capacity to pull people from different universes to it, I don't think it's just going to stop at doing so twice. Regardless, if no one else arrives going forward, it would still be good to have something like that in the center of town if only for directional purposes. I also understand the need for privacy as well, I'm not a very public person myself. I'll offer the option of it being opt-in when I suggest it.
[ this polling thing though!! man!!! bruce never has to ask second opinions on anything he does, ughhhh. give him back his autocracy. ]
I'll be sure to make it clear I'm not just being a control freak, promise.

Tch.
[Dumb!!! But alright, he calms down visibly at Dextera's guiding hand, watching quietly as he's moved to the correct spot. Here? Alright... He'll give the bird little scritches right here.]
...Better?

No, nothing like that. Dextera's knocked him unconscious, and that was the most worrying one there was.
[Everything else has been harmless.] Some are even useful. Asuka has one that I tested that boosts your strength for a bit, at the cost of getting a migraine for the rest of the day. Obviously it's not a go-to, but it's a good for emergencies.

[Guren doesn't trust autocracy!! Even if he's the one at the top(ish) right now.]
I failed on purpose. I wanted to see what would happen.
This system works here because we all work together as a family. As long as you're giving them that choice and trying to help, I don't think anyone will have a problem with it.
Anyway, I'll be watching it myself, but you can let me know when you think you've got enough input, too.

[ that's... fair!!! and a very big criticism of his family towards him!! ]
Did the results please you?
Family's a strong word for such a scattered group of individuals. Was that decided among you?
[ that's... not a criticism, he's just curious. but in true wayne fashion, it definitely sounds like one. ]
Will do.

... Okay.
[So it really is a random roulette, and Minato drew the very short straw. Being Minato...he just breathes out a sigh of relief.]
I'm really glad it was me and not someone else then.
[It could've been Dextera who ingested the poison, that's terrifying.]
Thank goodness.

I don't think the results are finished yet, for the record. But no.
Anyway, family... It's how I taught my kids back home. When you're fighting to survive, and you've already lost more than you thought you had to begin with, the people around you, fighting at your side— they're the ones you have to be able to rely on. Friendship, camaraderie, love, it all helps keep the demons we use in our weapons at bay, but our bonds make us stronger, as well.
I guess you could say it was something I was taught when I was younger and I decided to apply it.

[ dextera nods, and only a moment later realizes that guren was probably talking to the bird, who then pushes his beak against guren's hand with a soft coo that means nothing. like a happy sigh, which dextera is happy to leave him to because he's a little embarrassed at answering something that wasn't meant for him. ]
...
...
So...it's been about a week since I delivered the potion. Have you heard anything from him yet?
[Does he even need to specify who "he" is? Not really.]
[Does he even need to specify who "he" is? Not really.]
Yeah, after everyone showed up. That night. It's fine now, thanks.
[His response to that, of course, is to thump Minato harshly over the head. He doesn't care if he's recovering from poison, he earned this!!]
I don't want to hear you saying crap like that.

[You can't say that and not give details!!]
Oh, good! Dextera-san said that that he would message you. So it all worked out? (/^▽^)/

[Oh my god, RIP Dextera because Guren definitely saw that. He pauses just a moment, watching Spot, and then turning to look at Dextera again.
He moves his hand away from spot and scritches at the air between himself and Dex.]
You want some, too?
[HE'S TEASING SO RUDELY]

[GHEGH.
He wasn't actually expecting that one, so he cringes, wincing as he lifts his hands to his head and stares up at Guren with muted but sincere surprise.
Ow...!!!]
But it's true...
[Rude...]
I have spells to heal poison, so it ended up being okay. [Therefore, it was better that it was Minato.]

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE DETAILS... For example:]
Yep.
Yep.
Don't give me that! What did we just talk about?
[Ugh, he's frustrated.] If you want to get stronger, then don't throw yourself into situations where you risk death. I don't care how well you can take it compared to others. [hypocrite]
You can protect them in different ways. If you use your body as a shield, then it's just going to last for that one time. Keep that in mind.

[Yeah... that's a bit too hypocritical for him to let go. He looks up at Guren quietly, brow furrowed.]
... I don't understand.
[It's said calmly, at least, but there's a certain firmness to his words, too.]
I agreed to give you the poison, and any other potions, because you're better equipped than me to deal with it. But I won't be ashamed, either, to be grateful that it was me instead of someone who couldn't heal themselves after--like Akechi-san, or Dextera-san, or Midoriya-kun.
[It's better, in that case, that it was him.]

That's not the part that bugs me. It was your quickness to sigh in relief because you could take it on yourself.
[He huffs out a sigh, looking the other way.]
You can be relieved at their safety, but don't tell me you're not self-sacrificing all the time. I get it, but that doesn't mean it's right.

[... He is, it's true. Minato blinks slowly...and then sighs, head dipping a little. He's self-sacrificing to the extreme, and explaining why doesn't seem like something he's that interested in doing.]
I don't know if I can help that very much, Ichinose-san.
[He admits that much softly; eager to please as he usually is, this is something that's ingrained in him.]
That's just how I am.

[Guren watches him, quietly, understanding.]
That's why you've got friends to yell at you every time you pull one of these stunts. You'll worry us every time.

Hahaha.
[Guren can't help but laugh, grinning as he pulls away from both Spot and Dextera, turning to leave the house again.]
Come on, let's get going. We don't know how long this potion lasts.

Haha... That's right. I worry my friends all the time.
[He can picture them now, in fact.] You probably already knew that.
[He can picture them now, in fact.] You probably already knew that.
Mm, yeah... I definitely knew that.
[Because Guren worries him too, but... he knows that's how Guren is, always trying to protect everyone else even to his own detriment.]
If I said anything against that, it'd be really hypocritical of me, huh...?
[Instead, he offers Guren a rueful smile.]
So instead I'll just keep doing what I can to look after you, too, because that's...what family does.
