[suppose war in itself if some kind of chaos, but that's what dabi's speculating is going to happen. somewhere in the future. he's not planning on getting in the middle of it; that's a fool's place to be. what it means for trench likely won't be of anything important. simply a chance or stay in the way things are done.]

Not sure ya wanna stop someone who's shootin himself into the sky in a fireball.

[the rest of it gets a small "hn" that's supposed to indicate acceptance, mild interest, and likewise callous disinterest. "not bad" is a decent summary at least. war, death, cooperation afterwards. how wars often end.]

Not many people are gonna go for the "worse" option in front of them. [always what's better for them, or the people/ideas they're holding in front of themselves.] The ones who don't get involved shouldn't care about the results.

[nico deciding for himself how to use his time and energy earn a brief scoff from dabi, but he doesn't argue that point.]

Goes both ways, huh.

[he rests his arms behind his head, fingers cupping his elbows.]

Cause that ain't how payment works here.

[either nico would've had to trade something the woman decided was worth it or he'd've had to bleed himself, neither of which sound viable with him saying he'd "put down some" payment. then again, that's dabi's assumption.]

Plus ya probably would've been blamed for it.
