There's a long and visible pause at being cautioned about the orange juice. He's not ignorant of the idea others might be using things to cause harm, but it seemed like an awful lot of trouble to go through. "..And the soup, or the gas mask? Should all of it be untrusted?" Granted, Yoichi has no reason to believe her over the person who handed it to him to begin with, but it never hurts to be cautious! Except he'd been looking forward to the soup, and orange juice is always nice too, and now.. "For that matter, is something going on that I might need a gas mask to begin with??"

It hadn't looked like a warzone to him but this might be an unexpectedly peaceful bit. The concern over potential gas attacks makes it easy enough to wave off anything like him needing more than he has now. He'll figure it out! Somehow. In time. "Ah, don't worry about that. I'm stronger than I look." No he isn't. "I'm told there's a town around here somewhere, I'll handle the rest when I find it!" Optimism, whether or not it's deserved, because beachfront boardwalk does not count as a town even in his book.

Although he doesn't see someone else present, Alula is clearly a friend or associate of Ochako's, and she can convince that person to do carrying! ...And there's a power involved, which she more easily called a 'quirk' than 'power'. "Oh, you have powers?" Color him interested, she's not treating it like it's a dangerous secret so that's a plus. "A quirk, you said?" A turn of phrase that isn't going to be popular for some decades yet, but he likes the sound of it, made it sound more personal and individual. "I just have the pack and box of .. um, potentially .. dangerous things. Is Alula a friend of yours?"
