[Izuku sputters, breaking the calm that had fallen over them. In his surprise, all he can do for a while is just wheeze and try to get back the air he'd lost when he choked.]
No, no no no... I don't think I'd ever be able to come close! Let alone surpass him.
[The idea alone is... well. The reaction probably says it all.]
I'll do my best--to be my own kind of hero. [Be himself? Izuku knows that both All Might and Gran Torino have told him that he tries too hard to imitate All Might. He just hopes that being himself is good enough.]
And to...take better care of myself. [Izuku ducks his head now, embarrassed.] I don't want to make people worry about me.

[He repeats back Midoriya's words softly, nodding.]
Thank you for your thoughtful answer. [His expression falls slightly though-- he still has a reason to worry. How to put it...?]
Do you hope to be exactly the same as All Might-dono? Or do you hope to surpass him?

No, no no no... I don't think I'd ever be able to come close! Let alone surpass him.
[The idea alone is... well. The reaction probably says it all.]

I see.
Then, if I may say- please do be yourself. If it's you, you can be strong, and help people, and find ways to not put yourself in danger to do so.

I am glad to hear it. [Yes, please don't make people worry... (
/sideyes Minato)][He reaches out to pat him soundly on the shoulder.] Because you will do your best, you will certainly achieve it.
I am glad I was able to come here with you today, Midoriya-dono. I could learn some very meaningful things about you.
no subject
I'm really glad, too, Tonbokiri-san. [Bashfully, he fidgets.] As... as your friend, I'd like to learn more about you from now on, too!
no subject
Certainly. It would be my pleasure.
