Megumi blinked slowly,   the corner of his mouth twitching—not quite a smile.   More like visible restraint.   ``…They’re not chihuahuas,``   he muttered,    gaze flicking down at the divine dogs beside him.   They barked—soft,    high-pitched.   Betrayal.   ``They’re in their smaller forms to conserve energy,``   he added flatly,    as if reading off a textbook.   ``But hey,    if barking louder made you stronger,      I guess you’d be terrifying too.``   Deadpan.    Unbothered.   But his hand slipped just slightly deeper into his pocket.

Megumi pauses mid-step,    eyes flicking to them.     No irritation—just that usual quiet reserve.   ``…You apologized three times already.``    A beat.    His gaze drifts ahead again.    ``Pretty sure I’ll survive.``     He says it flatly,     but there’s the faintest hint of deadpan humor tucked behind the words—barely there,     but real.

Megumi doesn’t even pause this time.    Just a slow blink,    eyes flicking to the side.    «  ʀɪɢʜᴛ.    ᴍʏ ᴊᴏʙ.    ʟɪᴋᴇ ɪ ꜱɪɢɴᴇᴅ ᴜᴘ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱᴏʟᴏ.    »    His voice comes out low and even,    not sarcastic—but dry enough to sting.    ``Isn’t it yours too?``     A beat.      Then he looks forward again like the conversation never happened.

@megursel       well, i have to show you guys just how dependable your teacher is. don’t i?      [his lips stretch into a wide grin. although no matter what megumi may say, he had went against his orders.]      how should i handle this?    ..what do you think, megumii?

 \(˚☐˚”)/       !         —       Figured you’d be too busy showing off to notice.      Besides…       the mission wasn’t going to wait for permission.

@megursel          that must be your imagination. although i’m sorry for taking time out of your hobby, but we have to go meet itadori and nobara for the next mission debrief!    —i won’t be coming with you guys this time.

And yet somehow,         glaring at you feels like the most productive part of my day.
