Sure thing, dude. There'll be time to talk, maybe...you realize we'll have known one another for like half a year in just a little while? Like. It's coming up on the horizon.
[Dave does get a small, grateful little smile at that--before Minato focuses on the rest, shaking his head.]
Six months, huh...? It's a little hard to believe, it's true. We've already been here a really long time, and I don't think we're going home any time soon.
Yeah...but, like. You know. I have to say that if I got to pick and choose who to be stuck here with - all of you would make the exclusive list. The hired bouncers would let you all in after looking up the names, you wouldn't get kicked to the curb. Even if maybe I should pick not you guys if I had the choice so you could go home? But you know what I mean.
That was very roundabout and rambly, but isn't that Dave in a nutshell? What really matters is--]
That's...very sweet, actually. I feel the same way about you, okay? And really, most everyone here. Even though I want to be able to get everyone here home who wants to go home... I'm glad I've gotten the chance to spend so much time with you here too.

[A firm nod, and:]
I'm not going to ever give up on it either, okay? We'll find a way to help fix things...before you guys have to leave and go back to that.

[ hopefully it's better than dave and john's prize. ]
no subject
He can't help it, though, because it's a little bittersweet.]
A pretty peaceful world, I hope. We fought really hard to make it happen, but there shouldn't be any more danger now.
no subject
Bad question?
no subject
[That doesn't make the question bad, it just... means Minato hasn't really come to terms with the answer he has to give, not quite.]
Ask me again another time, maybe.

I feel like this is the movie magic moment where we tenderly fistbump.
no subject
It's fine.
Minato just lifts a fist for said fistbump, arching an eyebrow.
So?]
no subject
at which point he fistbumps.
the fanfare was absolutely necessary. ]
no subject
Minato blinks slowly as the fanfare sinks in--
And then he's snorting, laughing softly to himself behind one hand pressed to his mouth.
Dave.]
no subject
I got it the other month. Perfect for drama.
[ no ]
no subject
[He snorts, but plucks the ribbon off to pin it on Dave in response.
MORE FANFARE?]
no subject
[ he likes the fanfare, so he just very slightly smirks. this is truly his greatest prize EVER... ]
no subject
[Minato just shrugs, tucking his hands into his pockets.]
Anyway, quest completed. I guess I should let you go so you can go see what weird new ribbon you got next, right?
no subject
[ but he gives a little wave as he strides off to check on said house ]
