It wasn't for nothing. I wanted to be sure he was okay too.

[Is that maybe an odd sentiment from a literal stranger? Sure, perhaps. But he can't help it, all the same. That particular "madness" of a Hero, perhaps.]

I'm really, really happy he was, you know?

[Just in case Martin was still feeling doubtful.]

[darkov]

[why? he thinks. it's not like...he knows him. either of them.

right??]

That's, um. Kind. It's...kind of you, to say that. [...] You were worried because...you know him? Rex?

[nextsymbol]

I don't. We've never met before.

[It's an odd question, for Izuku, when these feelings come so naturally to him, but then he adds:]

But you don't need a reason to worry about someone, right?

[darkov]

[there's a (kind of telling?) pause, because Martin actually has to think about that.

and even then, he's not sure he has a good answer.

feebly:] I...I don't know. Maybe not? If...people are just...like that.

[nextsymbol]

[...That might be one of the saddest things he's ever heard, tbh. His voice lowers a little.]

Well, I don't. So if you guys ever need anything, please tell me, okay?

[darkov]

Oh--but.

[another hesitation.]

I'm sorry... I...I don't even know your, your name or...or anything, really.

[nextsymbol]

Then let's start with that. I'm Izuku Midoriya. Or you can call me Deku, if you want.

[He tries to make his voice sound as encouraging as possible.]

What's your name?

[darkov]

...Martin...Darkov. [his tone has the wariness of a worried dog.] Just Martin...that's fine.
