César's very glad he's wearing slippers. Ow. But this is why he's teaching Dabi rather than him stepping on Magne's feet. The sacrifices he makes for his girlfriend....

But it's honestly very sweet how Dabi's trying and how much he cares about Magne. It's good that her love was returned. César needs to make sure they both get back alive, one way or other, and on the same timeline.

"A little more than a week from today." César walks over to the fireplace mantle, where he's put down the ad he copied, which he offers to Dabi. "Here, copied this for you. ... honestly, you're pretty good for a beginner. We could practice a couple more times before Merrymeet just to cement it into your mind."
