[and now it's getting wetter. dabi lowers his head a bit further into his collar as the rain starts to slap against the rooftops around them, turning the pathways between the houses into cobblestone islands within muddy rivers. watch your step, boys. don't worry; he usually slips that insult out if anyone ever behaves like this around him.]
And it still hasn't let off... Tsk, good point. [technically it just jumped over him after megumi knocked his legs out from under him. but hey, that worked for him. if it wasn't hunting megumi just for food, then it's likely gonna have a grudge against dabi as well for burning it... damn. he chances a look over his shoulder again, not able to see much beyond the glow punching through the clouds of dust and destruction behind them. which is starting to mat thanks to the rain.
a woman's scream interrupts his thoughts and he glances towards it. if he could even pinpoint what direction it came from. first instinct was to think someone else hiding out had just been found by the creature. second was to wonder if that's a good cue for their getaway, if the creature's now distracted. not quite the plan he had in mind, but followed the same principle idea...
he ducks to the side with a wince, one burned arm flying up to block himself out of habit as glass and wall blast past him. shit! it was that close?! glaring over his arm, dabi watches some of the refugees hiding out run away. so there were some hidden away.
the sudden motion of hands beside him and the triggering scent of electricity within the wet air tells him megumi's about to try that thunderclap thing once again. which won't help him much if he needs the fire to make the technique work...
rude. at least finish your damn plan before dashing off. dabi remains in the rain, watching the dark doorway the other man vanished into. the hell's he think he's gonna do? people already ran out. as for "leading" the creature, it's apparently still honing in on them. probably that heroic guilty conscience they like to dub "sense of responsibility" messing with megumi's actions.]
Baka-...
[dabi scowls under his breath before a gout of flame belches beneath him, blue jet launching him up onto the roof of the house megumi just ran into. hands in his pockets, he starts to walk along the tiles, threaded coattails flapping in the wind. guess he'll see this through to the end. this beast attacked him and perhaps he's feeling somewhat vengeful right now.
