[ In response to the warning, Endo holds up his hands in a reassuring manner. Of course he isn't going to do anything with it — does he look like the kind of guy who would mess with someone's mobility aid? (Probably.) He's an instigator but he's really not one to make the first move — he invites it, and then waits for the other guy(s) to get pissed off enough to come at him. Besides, it'd be a waste of this opportunity to learn more about Accelerator's abilities (and limitations) if he were to to chuck it into the street.
But as for holding it out and casually dangling it over the edge as he engages in an expressive conversation? That may have crossed his mind, just to see what kind of reaction it would draw forth. But hey, he's a fair guy — if it's off limits, then it's off limits.
For the most part.
When Accelerator finally hands it over, Endo begins examining it, turning it over in his hands and getting a good look at everything. He goes so far as to press the most obvious switch, the one he saw Accelerator use earlier, to extend the crutch. By the time Accelerator makes his demand, Endo is busy tapping the ground with it.
He looks up with mild, feigned surprise, as though just remembering that there's a violent brawl beneath them. He has the impulse to laugh, because it's obvious that this guy doesn't do polite conversation, but he chooses instead to say: ]
Oh —
[ He glances down at all the chaos. ]
You know how it goes. [ A sweeping motion of his hand. The free one, since he's nixed the idea of precariously dangling the crutch. ] A group of guys come around, cause some trouble, and then someone's gotta clean it up. That's what we do. It's like a hobby.
[ They're the troublemakers. Not the cleaning crew. This centers around a specific job and the opposing gang has been putting up quite the fight, hence Noroshi's direct involvement.

They're winning now. ]
