Not saying they should, but when things are tough, can you blame them for doing so? We try our best to help them, but ultimately it's true that they do best when they help each other. [No comment about some of the natural disasters that happen. There's been plenty of times when those were caused by gods going nuts. It wouldn't be too surprising if Quirks were somehow tied in with gods, although it does seem like a stretch.]

Yeah... It's not ideal, to put it mildly. But I wouldn't mind if it made her happy! [He'll go through meetings again and again to be with her and to have her family remember him, even if it's for a short time only. Whenever he gets home, he'll probably be able to shake off his millennia-long malaise and really start putting himself out there, thanks to Katsuki and his other friends here.]

Heh, that's true, too. I'd like to think I've improved a lot since then. [Which he has; he's learned so much about humanity and has come to love them enough to want to protect and guide them. He'll never go back to being the way he was as a child, or even as a God of Calamity, and that's a good thing.]

If I do, you'll catch me, right~? Hehe. [If Katsuki's gonna bully him, he's gonna tease right back.] M'kay! That's easy enough to do.

[Without waiting for a response, he's off! Not that it takes him long to procure the treats. And since Katsuki didn't specify a flavor, he might be surprised when he comes back with three different ones and holds them out for him to choose.]

Birthday boy's choice!
