[Alas, tree, we hardly knew ye. On the bright side he's much, much better about controlling the flare and at least he hasn't set any buildings on fire.
The moment she pulls out the card, his hand's already darting forward but stopping just short of taking it from her. He's restraining himself but actively reminding himself that no, it's generally not okay just to take things from people. No matter how curious he is. His fingers curl into his palm and his hand hovers a bit as if debating what to do.] Magic cards floating around the city that you had to track down and seal didn't cause too much trouble? [There's a teasing grin. Sure, he totally believes that...it's okay, Sakura, he's caused his fair share of trouble, too.
Excellent logic!] Sorta, maybe, but a place like that is probably a lot smaller. We have hundreds and hundreds of people living in San Fransokyo, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people that live in San Francisco. I think Chinatowns are just shopping districts.
[It's a good and a bad thing, isn't it? He's been running around playing hero here in the best and worst ways possible, only occasionally fighting off his small bouts of homesickness that showed up. He has to go home, but at the same time if he doesn't fight the war here there might not be a home to go back to. It's all complicated.
And he's so glad she asked. He stands up a little taller (though honestly he's probably not even that much taller than she is...) and he waits for a moment before casually shrugging like it's really not a big deal.] We're superheroes. We're the ones who're helping to protect the city now.
