Inheritance
As the pair of them settled down at the table together, En found himself wondering just what Hisashi was going to end up doing during this meeting. It seemed to be a pattern with the man: if something failed to amuse him, he would always find a way to make it do so. Restraining himself from sighing, as the meeting he was sitting in continued on, En kept his eye on Hisashi.
There was every chance that Hisashi would manage to get through this meeting without acting out in that childish way that he tended to when he found himself going too long without a way to amuse himself. Still, the fact that whenever En looked his way he would find Hisashi smiling at him in that catlike way he would when he was planning something… En was hardly willing to leave things to chance.
He was at least pleased that the pair of them managed to make it through this particular meeting without Hisashi getting up to his usual antics, but the way the man had been smiling at him through the entire meeting gave En more than a few reasons to pull the man aside so that the two of them could speak.
"Hisashi," he called, once the meeting had ended and they were actually free to talk to each other again.
"What is it, En-kun?" the man who'd helped their emerging superhuman society settle down into a form where people could be themselves and live in peace asked, turning to him with that same, faintly amused smile he'd worn for nearly as long as En had known him.
He'd heard from Daigoro, back when the pair of them had met for the first time, that such an expression was pretty much Hisashi's default, save for when circumstances truly made him angry. Daigoro had only borne witness to such circumstances once, but the tale he'd carried to En had let him know that Hisashi – for all that the man could be gentle and good-humored when it suited him – was not a one to be crossed lightly.
"Have you found anyone else suited to be the next Successor?" he asked, wondering what the man would say.
Yes, working beside Hisashi Shigaraki for so long did give one a certain sense of satisfaction, but the man himself was so deliberately inscrutable that actually working with him long-term had worn more than a little on him as time had passed. Honestly, he didn't know how Daigoro had managed such a thing for so long as he had, but En had been finding himself wearier of late.
Dealing with such a capricious man as Hisashi Shigaraki, a man who only showed so much of himself to even those he purported to care about, was not a simple thing.
He and Hisashi discussed the man's ideas about the next person he thought might be capable of carrying on the legacy of both One For All, and standing beside the man who had created the Quirk to begin with, and En found himself considering just what kind of person that he would pass One For All to, in his turn. It would have to be someone capable of keeping up with the man. Someone good-natured and good-humored; someone whose nature complimented Hisashi's own.
En would have to think about things.
