"Uh-huh." Dabi knows the term "hero" isn't exactly flung around to just anyone in his world. Mostly because "hero" is actually an occupation and people train to get into it. Prepare their whole young life for it. You don't just slap that label on someone who's going around handing out free pretzels.

Luckily for Nara'a, Dabi's only ordering a second drink for himself. He doesn't make that decision for other people unless he's actively trying to ply them with alcohol for something less beneficial... Nara'a's free to grab a water if he wants after he's done with his current drink. Considering the fire Dabi controls, he burns through alcohol much faster than most people (if he chooses to).

"If ya recognize that, you're doing better than a lot of those sanctimonious pricks out there." At least Nara'a's admitting he can and has moved that line. A fallible hero who can change things to suit himself, by choice or force. Dabi leans forward and rests his arms on the table, hands nestled in the crux of his arms.

"And some of ya don't." Nara'a's not wrong; Dabi's heard this argument before. "A lot of villains care about implications and consequences, but "what" we care about is different from heroes."
