STRANGEST PLACES ☀ north

[arcy]

Honestly, Izuku's sense of time wasn't the greatest either. Not because he was unconscious, like North. Just cause he was hidden away in a dark, dark room without the sun, furiously reading about Medical stuff. Because he was a medic. Even though he shouldn't be. Christ. He was making a mess of his life. Anyways, well -- Izuku got being fidgety. God knows Izuku didn't know how to stay still when he was being injured. Though, that was probably part of the reason Izuku's leg hadn't healed basically at all. Because he refused to stop walking on it. Whoops. .. Maybe Izuku would consider letting North out sometimes once he was sure that it wouldn't mess stuff up too much. Movement was probably good anyways. So the wounds wouldn't scab over badly. But not too much movement cause that'd ruin it altogether.
"I guess that's too be expected," Izuku says with a strange mix of emotions. Relief, mostly, but he was nervous and amused, too. Nervous because christ Aizawa hit him on the head, that's why it was expected. But they seemed a lot calmer now that they weren't hysterical and in pain. Still, reassured, Izuku rounds to approach the Leopard more closely, lowering his head to let the flask slide off his neck. "Some herbal tea. Chamoline." He explains, nudging it a little closer. Tea was his go-to for all sorts of stuff. I mean .. he preferred hot chocolate, but tea was healthier. Especially herbal teas. .. Maybe he'd open a shop selling teas. That sounded like something he could manage.
Izuku grimaces as the other sits up, though. He opens his mouth to complain, but thinks better of it. "Easy," He warns instead, but that's all. He wasn't going to stop the other from doing whatever just so long as it didn't hurt him. Izuku didn't get to commandeer people's lives, and he didn't want to, either. Though, he wasn't above bullying people into behaving. He'd pull rank if he had to. He didn't have to now, though, so --. "Yup. Snowbound," Izuku confirms, tail twitching as he offers a slight grin. He's surprised the stranger, not that he registered as much of a stranger when you've been bandaging his injuries for hours, remembers even that much. I mean, he wasn't really coherent then. ".. Not surprising. We're just .. a group of people, I guess," Izuku shrugs. People .. not the best descriptor, but it was comfortable. People talked and could plan. People weren't just humans anymore, strange as that was. Realizing that he's still standing, though, Izuku seats himself and wraps a tail around his paws. A bit of shuffling and he manages to held his bandaged leg more comfortably, so he could keep all the weight off of it. God, he needed to figure out how to rest it more, he couldn't live like this for months when it was already going to scar for the rest of his damn life. The lack of surgery available here was awful. Right. Right. Anyways. They were finally introducing themselves. Izuku's ears prick. North. Like ... Directional north? Interesting. Izuku doesn't know anything about western names, though, so he doesn't comment. "Nice to meet you, North. I'm Izuku. Izuku Midoriya." Izuku ducks his head briefly in greeting, tail giving a cheery little twitch. .. He wasn't going to lie, he already liked North. Did he have anywhere to go, he wonders? Or would he be sticking around? .. Was it unfair of Izuku to hope he stuck around? Probably just a little, but oh well.
