[another exhale]

. . . you don't feel anxious? Just. . . a little?

[messianic]

Extremely so.

[Oh. His tone is still pretty calm, though.]

I'm really worried and anxious. What if someone's in danger right now? What if it was something we could prevent?

... But in the long term, this is the best choice we can make for the situation we're in. We'll be able to help more people this way.

That's what I'm holding onto.

[he's so. . . calm. in a way, it helps Akira calm down as well, his shoulders slouching as he sips at his coffee some more]

. . .

I can see why you were the leader of your team.

[messianic]

[Minato just sips his own coffee, lips twitching into a faintly amused smile.]

I was only the field leader for my team, though. So don't give me too much credit.

[survivaltricks]

Hah. I only give credit where it's due.

[he drains the last of his coffee, leaving behind a few stray grounds]

I know how hectic the battlefield can get. Having a calm presence really makes a difference.

[messianic]

[Minato sets his own mug down, nodding to Akira.]

Well... I do my best. If I could help calm you down a bit, then... I'm really glad.

[He reaches across the table, offering his hand for a hand clasp.]

We've got a lot of work to do, Akira--let's do our best together.

[survivaltricks]

[ah. . . blinks a bit at the outstretched hand, mouth parting, eyes slightly wide]

[. . .]

[but after a moment, the surprise melts away, and Akira clasps that hand tightly, grip firm]

Are you ready to get back out there?

[he is feeling better!!]

[messianic]

[Minato is too! He nods firmly, drawing his hand back when the gesture is over and done with.]

I'm ready. Let's get going.

[AND THEY RAN OFF TO FIGHT ZOMBIES.

Good boys.]

[survivaltricks]

[do we want more zombie killing, or have we accomplished what we wanted to accomplish with this thread!]

[messianic]

[LET'S MOVE ON

bc I need a sparring thread with you now]
