[he carried shouto back home and cremated your ass instead of leaving you to rot for the wolves. grateful enough.
the blink and nod at least give him some indication that allen and he are indeed from the same kind of "earth" after all. similar continents and countries even if they're from different times and types of societies. interesting.]
Wouldn't know. [who's ever heard someone speaking japanese with a scottish accent? dabi obviously doesn't know allen enough to call him out on bullshitting his backstory, so he takes it as current truth unless disproved otherwise later. as for the gas station question, gas stations are most often connected to some kind of general store. has he ever SEEN a gas station? it's not pumping hydrogen into a damn airship!]
Medicine from worlds that don't rely on mashin up plants into pastes, feedin mercury into your tea, and pourin tonic down ya throat to cure anythin. [is that a bit more in line with the medieval side of things or still carrying some weight in regards to some 18th century steampunk world. probably the longest string of strange words touya's said to him in the waking world.
ya know he's gonna keep calling him "priest" just because he knows allen chafes at it.]
Yeah, those. [lifting a finger and pointing to indicate the priest correctly assessed when sorts of medical supplies he has. as for wounds, he's got gauze and bandages as well as antibacterial ointments and creams. so another check there.] Not sure I got anythin copper, but I ain't plannin on tradin away things just so they can be destroyed on purpose.
[he'd rather keep the flashlights, lanterns, cameras, kitchen aids, batteries and shit for people who put more value on them than breaking them down for experiments and pieces parts. no offense, but come on. as for the clothes... does allen really want to be introduced to the thing known as jeans and denim with t-shirts?]
Got towels and washcloths. Clothes are more for people from my time. The sort of things Shouto and his group would be familiar with. Though I already had someone get real excited about them. [enough she stole some for herself while helping touya shove his ill-gotten gains out the portal hole.
but finally it does come down to the other subject, that of payment. obviously a trade's a trade and he's into this for barter rather than asking people to stab their fingers on the nearby pin for blood. allen's right about that.]
Nah, I don't want that crap. [sure it has its uses, but he'd rather steal if it's gonna be required.] I'm lookin for stuff that'd be equal or better in exchange. Ya want somethin to deal with fevers, bring me somethin that helps with corruption. Ya want a torch [flashlight] then I want one of those lunar orbs. [he waves his hand in a dismissive way.] For examples. [those obviously aren't set trades. he mostly wants to break even in trades.
and here his eyes narrow on allen, as if the conversation went from flippant to shady. which it does.]
And I'll also exchange for favors. I'll give ya stuff so long as later on I can call in a favor from ya... One for one.
