KITE FLYING!

...what do you mean, there's something more important to do? Oh yeah, the mist. Sure, have fun with your despair hallucinations, I guess.]

Comments

[expellerhead]

[reaches over to scruff up her hair a bit. ya cute, kid.]

About how much weight have you moved today so far?

[willynilly]

[She giggles at the hair ruffle but doesn't comment; she knows better than to call much attention to it.]

How much... hmm. I've moved about twenty rocks this size...

[She stops abruptly, eyes wide.]

Ehhhh!? That's so much!

[WHAT THE HECKIE THAT'S WAY OVER HER WEIGHT LIMIT]

[expellerhead]

Oh, is it? [scratches the stubble on his neck, unsurprised. wow how did that happen]

[willynilly]

I guess because it's spread out over time? It takes a while to move each one...

[Or maybe also because you've been training and pushing your limit, ya dumb kid.]

[expellerhead]

[child, please

aizawa delivers a gentle but obvious chop to the back of her head]

Guess again.

[willynilly]

[oof. Ochako rubs the back of her head absently, brows furrowed.]

Um... well, I've been pushing myself a lot lately, to lift more in a shorter time period... I know it's my biggest weakness. Maybe it's paid off...?

[expellerhead]

There you go. [gestures to all the rock she's moved, a considerable amount; what would take a crew with machines a day to move, she's moved in hours.] Recognize your progress. Your limit when I first came here would've been a quarter of this before you felt sick.

[willynilly]

[She has the decency to look sheepish. Yeah, okay, that does make sense.]

Mm... I think it was easier to notice it before Bakugou showed up.

[She's come so far! ...And he's still worlds ahead of her. Of all the people to show up here with them, it had to be the one at the top.]

[expellerhead]

[this kind of open conversation is one thing that's changed with their efforts to meet in the middle, and it's a good change. at least, aizawa feels a little more trusted.]

Bakugou is capable, but he can't do this. [nods to everything she's moved.] Among all your classmates, this is a skill unique to you.

[willynilly]

Yeah, I know... but you don't become a big famous hero by moving rocks, that's all. Especially with how things have been changing.

[Maybe the generation before had a bit of an easier time with it, with villains on the decline. That isn't the case anymore.]

If I was gonna be happy just doing this, I'd have stayed home and worked for my parents. This is stage 1 of my new training!

[expellerhead]

[well all right, that's reasonable.

aizawa sniffs and shoves his hands into his pockets.]

And what does Stage 1 consist of?

[willynilly]

Iiit's improvisation!

[She gives her latest moved boulder a little pat.]

Training's not just for your lessons, it's every day! Right now I'm trying to look for one thing I can do each day to get stronger. New jobs, new skills, body or mind!

[expellerhead]

Uh huh. [right, right, self-motivation is good.] Are you keeping any kind of logs of these personal lessons? Outside of what you and I do.

[willynilly]

Nnnnnnnnyes? I just started. So, um. I'll start doing that.

[Should have known there'd be a written assignment.]

[expellerhead]

Might be a good idea. [mild. but in that 'you really should' kind of way that makes his suggestions sound more like lesson plans] Have any plans to relax while you're here?

[willynilly]

[Yeah she gets that hint. It's like a teacher mode he can never seem to turn off.]

To relax? Hmm... well, there's a lot of work to get done, so I thought I'd make some money while I could... but I shouldn't tire myself out too much, either. I was thinking of flying one of those birds around! They look pretty cool, right?

[expellerhead]

...and you'll be taking Fie with you, I'm guessing?

[willynilly]

I'll ask her if she wants to go! Sometimes Fie would rather just sleep. ...Hey, maybe Bakugou would come too if I asked?

[let's try to socialize the yelly goblin boy a little.]

[expellerhead]

[god] Don't get arrested.

[-and,] Or make it your mission to get him to socialize.

[willynilly]

It's not a mission or anything! I'm not, you know, forcing it. I just think it would be nice if we could be friends. All we've got is each other, and at least I'm used to him.

[It's not like she pities him - he'd hate that anyway - but she does feel bad that he's missing his squad. She feels the same way about Deku, Iida, and Tsuyu, after all.]

[expellerhead]

Do as you like. [it isn't a surprise that she's making an effort with bakugou and it isn't a surprise that she wants that connection on her own.] Just know that I don't have bail money right now.

[willynilly]

It wouldn't be very heroic to do something that would get us arrested.

[Mildly offended by the mere suggestion! ...but yeah, it's a fair warning, too. Both of the people she's hoping to hang with love explosions. She sure knows how to pick 'em.]

[expellerhead]

Our laws aren't universal. [ANOTHER LESSON PLAN! aren't you happy to have something to do.] You're the child of a construction entrepreneur; would you be permitted to just float in and begin working like this without any kind of vetting process if we were in Japan?

[willynilly]

...no...

[Feck.]

Do I need to find a book that has local laws somewhere?

[expellerhead]

No, that's not where I was going with that. [sniffs and rubs at his nose, sighing a little into his wraps.] ...just be careful. Be aware of your surroundings. That's all.
