A swordsman, you say? [When Toshinori falls silent, apparently contemplative as his piercing gaze lingers on Shouto, Izuku decides to hop in with a tentative little smile.]

He helped me out when some bandits attacked me this morning, Toshinori. He's really reliable. [Even though Izuku had hoped to keep that particular thing secret from Toshinori, he's not going to keep it quiet if it'll help Shouto find a job. That wouldn't be fair of him at all.]

Did he now. [That seems to make up Toshinori's mind about something.] If Izuku here speaks so highly of you, then I've got just the job for you.
