[Trench most certainly does have a way of pitting two enemies together in a macabre sideshow of the most terrifying things even one's wildest imagination couldn't conjure. A horror-game seems fitting, truly. Ochako's only endured the proverbial tip of the iceberg in regards to what this world has to offer, but she'll learn in time. Her fear and dislike of those types of things - ghosts, monsters, and any other paranormal entity she can't explain through logic and science - are going to catch up with her in due time, and she'll have to face them or die trying. Literally. At the very least, she'll be challenged in a new way, and Ochako has never once backed down from a challenge. She's far too pigheaded.

And Dabi is right - everything does burn.

Hence why Ochako is leveling a cold look at him as he plays with his treat like an overly contented cat. Ugh, and there's nothing she can do about it either, which makes her fists curl at her sides, shaking with the effort not to smash into his damnable face for pulling that stunt. Money is useless in Trench, it has no value, so why?! Why did he even grab something like that if not because it's second nature. She wants to grab and toss it back herself, the more Lawful Evil part of her nagging in her ear, but she just rubs a hand over her face and takes a long, long einhale and exhale. What's done is done. Nothing to do now but accept her role in it.]

So long as you're satisfied, and wont cause irreparable damage, then I'm done here. [Ochako shoulders her bag and rolls her eyes to his comment. Good lord, what a jerk. And yet Ochako still nods her head to him as politely as she can muscle and pivots on her heel to walk the other way.] I only take out the trash, I don't chase the dump truck after.

[Read as: have a nice day, stinky.]

[dabi walks away from her with little interest in continuing the conversation. the cold look she gives him hits his back and falls down to tumble around the ends of his coat without doing a thing. if such a stare could affect him, he'd've been dead on the streets so long ago. grew out of it. why not enjoy the spoils of his thoughts? if no one else is going to take advantage of these portals and do what they want for their survival, that's simply more for him. even so, he has things he's going to have to work on. from tracking down those portals that are helpful to marking on his map(s) where they are when he has to do multiple trips. of course, he expects this to be a one and done event, but on the off chance they do return, he'll be ready to seek them out once again.

ochako has been useful, so dabi's not planning on murdering her. as he told shouto, he has no intent of harming the other heroes unless they give him reason to do so. besides, she got a little something for her troubles, didn't she. has to give her credit for swallowing back her temper and not doing anything stupid around him. it's rather amusing how much she wants to punch his brains out, but can't. not even for this sack of money he pilfered at the end. admittedly, some of it was for trading later, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't think about her reaction when he emptied out the cash register.]

Aa, ya are done here. So get lost.

[he doesn't see the nod, won't even offer her a wave as he steps into the shadows of the alley and then ignites a small flame in front of him to survey the seeds of his hoard. taking out the trash and chasing dump trucks? how childish. still, if that's the analogy she's going for, dabi's gonna be languishing on a fucking landfill by the end of the month.

wouldn't that be poetic irony if ochako ends up being a customer at one point...]
