[Since breakfast, Minato has had some ideas. And some problems have formed in his original ideas. And generally, he's just been thinking. And avoiding the goddamn lava wall. But mostly thinking. He's come to at least a few conclusions.]

I was wondering if anyone in Cabin 6 could help me with something. I want to know some of the old stories of the gods. If we're going to meet them, we should know more than just their names. [And they should know if the gods have ever been defeated and if anyone has ever survived the gods deciding it was time for them to be killed just because they were kids of the powerful ones.]

[Another moment.]

Does anyone else know how to control the darkness? [That makes it seem like he's evil oh my god. He should've found a better way to say it.] It could be useful, after all.

[He's just trying to figure out what cards he might have in his hands if it does end up that the gods decide to murder them.]

[A message just to SEES members (yes, Ryoji counts) and Hades kids]

We should get to know Manhattan. If things go wrong.

[No offense to Zeus and Poseidon kids, but these are the people he feels he has a moral obligation to keep not dead.

Minato has never been one for depending on deities to get things done. And he's not entirely comfortable with the idea that he has a dad who hasn't even bothered to do more than cause a blackout to greet him. But he is praying with all of his everything to his father right now that things don't go wrong. Yes, he knows the irony of praying to the God of the Underworld that he and his friends don't die.]

That would be a lot on their plates, yeah. But what do you mean, 'keep some of us'? If they're taking the time and effort to yank us out of our own fights and our own problems, why would they just kill us on the spot?

[Airi frowns, thinking about it. It's unsettling, to put it lightly.]

[pheromonecoffee]

It's complicated. [He doesn't really want to talk about it.] But you should be safe.

Hey, Minato-san. I'm not gonna be that idiot that pries in where it's not wanted, okay?

[But she looks him in the eye.]

But don't you worry too much, either. You remind me of our team leader, back home. Not that you look like him, but all the planning stuff - Hibiki was like that. He was always okay at a time like this.

You're gonna be okay, too, because you're like he is. Got it?

[pheromonecoffee]

[He does not even know where that came from. He has never been informed in such a way that he will be okay. It's kind of cute. She's a total tsundere isn't she?]

I know.

[Probably not the best way to respond.]

Thank you.

[nonavelgazing]

Hey, don't take that the wrong way, now. I'm just saying that because you were making sure I wasn't gonna worry, all right?

[Yep. 110% tsundere.]

You're welcome.

[pheromonecoffee]

We'll all be all right, Airi-san. [He will make certain of it, as best as he can.]
