"I had to learn." There was really no other option. And then the teasing he got from his comrades afterwards.s.. it just seemed natural to him. Better than how he grew up, at least. And to be fair he means hunting for meat and skins with a bow and arrow, not other options. It's what he thinks of when he says 'hunting'.

He huffs in amusement - and a little frustration. "All we can do is lead by example and hope that others follow. I don't like flexing my strength in most cases where I'm called on to do it. Playing the 'silent and worldly adventurer' isn't really my style, even if it does describe me." But as for people never getting there... he's not sure. There'll always be a range, of course... but he has faith in people to do the right thing most of the time.

"You're at the bottom because you oppose them, or because of a different reason?" He knows very well that Dabi wants to burn down everything.. but maybe he can be convinced to shift his thinking. Not far - he's realistic, not an idiot - but maybe a little.
