[It is a snowy and cold month and for a moment Izuku does wonder if they should even think about venturing outside to do some training. With all the snowstorms and cold weather, it is perilous on most days. But there are some days where it is sunnier than most which leave the snow glistening bright and the sky blue.

It is one of those early days in the month that Izuku makes sure to contact Shoto to meet up with him in the training grounds. They had plans to compare magic, work on some weapon details for the both of them and just hang out in general. Which honestly... He's missed that a lot with his friend. Maybe they could get something warm to drink after they're done.

Izuku is there in the cold air with his yellow scarf tied tightly around his neck and pulled up over his mouth even if his breath comes out in gentle puffs of cooled air. He closes his eyes and shivers as he waits. But he knows once they get started it won't be so bad. The broadsword sitting snuggly on his back as well. Shoto should be here soon and if he sees his friend coming up he'll wave.]

Todoroki-kun! Good morning...!

[With the help of everyone involved the procedure is a success. It left Izuku a nervous wreck the entire time. He had spent most of the procedure pacing back and forth while trying to recite hero names from the last ranking he could remember from bottom to top and back again. Just to keep himself from sweating bullets and to help keep Tsuna company. But with everything finished and it a success thanks to everyone involved it's a relief for things to go as normal as they can be. It's a huge relief for Izuku.

Izuku does want to check in on Gokudera, though. To find out how he's doing after everything is said and done. He checks in with him saying he'd like to meet somewhere. At the inn or even the marketplace or a coffee shop works. And once they do Izuku will wave with a small relieved smile on his face.]

Gokudera-san! ... Gokudera! It's good to see you.

[Meeting at the marketplace is comfortable. It’s easier for him to walk and talk, instead of being in a quiet area like the coffee shop or the inn. While the weather may be cold, Gokudera seems to be in warm spirits, bundled up and slightly flushed as he walks, scarf around his neck and hiding any hint of scars.]

Ah, Midoriya! How’re you?

[He stops as his friend approaches, then turns to continue his walk with the other beside him. His hands are tucked into his coat pockets, chain from his wallet chiming with his steps.]

[There was that message on the network that warned about this sort of thing. But somehow Izuku still finds himself in a little bit of a pickle when a set of two pixies finds Izuku's hair to be super fascinating. Is green hair rare or something? It's annoying to find the two pixies hovering insistently around his head while trying to touch or pull at his green locks with unending curiosity.]

Ah...! P-Please! Stop, leave my hair... alone!

[He huffs and swats at the air gently because honestly, he doesn't want to hurt them! But one of the pixies promptly pulls a few strands from his head and he yelps!]

O-Ow?!

[It would be nice if someone could- yet again- help him from being bullied by the fae.]

[His pleas are heard, of course, his ears may slightly regret it because there's a giant, distinctly warning screech that fills the air. An absolutely MASSIVE owl with a six-foot long wingspan circles above Izuku's head and the pixies literally scream out in fright.

They've stopped pulling... but now they are literally hiding in his hair.]

I believe that had the opposite effect you wanted, Vivek. [Comes a giggling voice not too far behind as Aurora appears and the Eurasian-Eagle owl moves to land back onto her shoulder.]

Izuku, good morning. It seems we keep meeting like this. Having some more pixie problems?

[It is a relief to know that the procedure for Gokudera went well. He still hasn't learned of all the details that went down inside of the procedure room itself but Izuku had been there waiting for everything to happen and finish. Saving a life. Having met Kimishima once before Izuku had taken a chance in asking for her help with it all. And he's so relieved that it went well enough.

That is why he heads to her clinic again just to say his thanks. When he is there he bows his head like a proper and polite Japanese boy.]

Kimishima-sensei... I wanted to say thank you for helping out with everything. Thank you very much. I know it was a risky situation to go through.

[Izuku holds a large leather bag filled with a handful of strange-looking sealing bottles in them. They clink gently as Izuku inspects them for a moment before slipping the strap of the bag over his shoulder.]

These jars should be able to help me collect the spirits that have been haunting various spots around Camelot lately...

[He looks to find Emet-Selch near the quest listings and he almost looks away right away with that small sense of tension in his shoulders when it comes to the man. And yet something makes him curious again as he looks at him. This quest requires talent with spirits and ghosts. Or in other words- the undead. Would a mage with death magic be ... helpful?

He swallows back a lump in his throat and heads over to the man.]

Emet-Selch-san...? If you're not busy, would you... l-like to help with this quest work?

[After meeting a certain other duck-shaped hero Izuku finds himself feeling quite blessed to know two of them. Knowing pro heroes has always been a special kind of dream come true for Izuku. He still finds himself a little choked up when he meets them but he can't help it. Meeting people who are genuinely great heroes both pro and in the making is really... special to him.

When he sees Fenton that afternoon he waves to him.]

Fenton-san! Hello! It's getting colder every day...!

[It's been a while since he's seen the other! He hopes the cold hasn't been too hard on him.]

[She has some time between her current schedule for him to come in. With some of the population headed off to the land controlled by the fae, a doctor still needs to stay back and tend to any mishaps that might occur in Camelot. Still, did they take enough healers...? Something to idly wonder about.]

[Back on it, she looks at Izuku and shakes her head.]

I did nothing but provide a space to facilitate the operation. It was your friend who did well-enough to remove the collar without complications.

[Complications were honestly all that Naomi and Emet-Selch were there to handle.]

[ Fenton had actually been coming back from a little shopping trip when he heard his name called, and spotting Izuku he smiles and returns the wave. ]

Oh hey, Izuku! It really has been getting colder. How have you been holding up?

[The snow's never bothered him. It's nearly welcomed when heat's his constant, familiar partial to Hellflames. The cold's barely registered. But then boy's trotting over next, shedding his warmth once he's close enough. A bit of heat seeping out of him; aura flooding with calm and small fires inside.

He notes the scarf, though. Stops himself from rushing words out. Catching his breath, first.]

There you are, Midoriya. [His brows lift.] Is this cold for you?

[He's reaching for the scarf—and then he's quietly rearranging, folding his wrap to slip coal between layers. Leaving his warmth on it.]

Here. This should warm it a little. [Until he's home at least.] I can leave some heat on things. [His next's reluctant.] ...Because of Kasha.

[ Of all the quests this month, the ghost-hunting one looks to be most promising. It appeals to his talents, and seems harmless enough as well. Nevermind that he's a knight and should probably be helping Archimedes apprehend the one who cursed his horses. (He can do both at the same time, surely?) Hearing an uncertain, familiar voice pipe up beside him, he glances down to see Midoriya staring up at him. ]

...Aye. I suppose some help would not go amiss. That is, if you are yet willing to work with a villain such as I.

[~~the snow never bothered him anyway~~

Izuku always admires people with warm quirks like Todoroki or Bakugou. Being built warm must be so helpful in times like this where the winter is cold and the wind blistery. Izuku has always admired everyone with quirks in general but there is just something that really draws him about warm quirks. Perhaps because he'd always hoped as a kid that he'd inherit his dad's fire breath quirk but it is how it is. Not that he's complaining.

He makes a small noise when Todoroki adjust his scarf for him. Looking up at the taller boy with a smile as the wind makes his cheeks redder.]

It's cold- but... T-that's a lot better. I'm ... I'm a little jealous. Even here you have something that helps you stay warm?

[He smiles because he's really not jealous at all. He's just admiring.]

Your familiar helps with that?

[He is happy to walk and talk as well. Brisk as it might be outside Izuku is also dressed as warm as he can get himself with a thick coat and scarf. He looks like a bit of a seasonally-festive broccoli with the green hair and brightly coloured scarf.]

I'm good...! How have you been doing?

[It's honestly just nice to see that Gokudera seems to be in good spirits.]

After everything's had a chance to settle down I'm sure you're relieved.

[No doubt that Izuku practically throws his hands over his head and crouches when the loud screeching startles him. At least it's not a dragon-]

Eh?!

[At least it seems to make the pixies flee and Izuku isn't sure to be relieved or check if he's having a heart attack.]

A-Aurora-san! ... Good morning? Y-Yeah, I'm starting to think this is a pattern... Ah- I'm alright thanks to you and Vivek-san...! Again.

[He lets out a relieved sigh too...]

[Izuku himself has been wondering if he should have gone to the land controlled by the fae as well. But with people heading out that way he felt it important to take care of the city as well. With dragons running amok on top of things like crime a knight's work is here too.]

Uraraka-san did an amazing job, I heard. She's my friend and my classmate. Still... you being there was important too.

[Because entrusting some teenagers to handle the hard stuff- that was a lot.]

[With so many hands heading out to the land controlled by the fae it is important to leave some knights behind to work on other tasks that crop up. Protecting the city and fulfilling these tasks are important too.

Izuku would be so surprised to hear the man is also a knight. Yet another thing they have in common...?

He does swallow awkwardly at the mention. Still fighting with himself on that one...]

If you're working to help make a difference for the better... I'd be happy for the extra hands...?

[Plus he has no idea what to expect with hunting down spirits and stuffing them in jars. He would really appreciate the help??]

Edited 2021-12-07 20:57 (UTC)

As best I can... It's a lot colder here in winter than it is back in Japan.

[He's like half a second away from a sneeze but that's okay.]

My being there honestly seemed to make her nervous.

[Though, her presence makes most people nervous. Not to mention her already strained nerves from knowing little of the procedure itself. She wonders if Gokudera ever mentioned an error could've mt his head coming off to either of them... oh well.]

What's done is done. And it sounds like Gokudera has been taking to his newfound freedom well.

[Gokudera would argue that he looks more like a shrub.]

I’ve been… hmm…

[Well? He’s been through some drama as of late, but he is not unwell because of it. A little stressed, but isn’t going to just dump his worried on Midoriya, no matter how much faith he has in the other to handle something like his persistent worries.]

Well enough, I guess.

What do you mean by that? With the collar? Some other manner of this world? I haven’t been getting around very much.

[He doesn’t have a single totem to his name, for god’s sake. Not a title, barely a job! He’s got his magic, and his life, and… throuple-in-the-making drama.]

Well, almost alright. [She offers as she comes over to him, her a scarf wrapped around her head to keep out the cold. She came over to him.] Forgive me, for a moment.

[She gently reached out, carding her fingers through his hair.]

Now now, no harm shall come to you, come out from his hair little darlings.

There has been a lot going on, ne...

[Izuku shivers and puts his gloved hands together to warm them in front of his mouth as they walk. And don't worry Izuku is more than happy to try and fill in what details he knows. But the first thing he wants to know is...]

I was wondering how you've been doing since you've gotten your collar off.

Ah-

[Oh. He's not expecting her to do that so forwardly so Izuku really can't help the way he seems to choke on his words and his face heats up. Well! That's one way to keep away the cold!]

A-Aurora-san-

[But then just like that! There is a rustling in his hair! A pixie or two trying to make a home out of his green hair!]

[Gokudera looks at Midoriya trying to warm his hands, frowns at it, then pulls out a marble. He clenches it in his hand, then holds out a flame surrounded (almost suspended) in a light-shield bubble. There you go, warm your hands up.]

Here.

[And he starts walking again, then nods at the cafe, inviting his friend without saying so, and even pausing for a moment.]

I’m sleeping well, and attending school.

[Important things, but not terribly fun to talk about.]

[Now that the snowstorms have abated as much as they are going to the city seems to be a small winter wonderland. While still cold it reminds Izuku a lot of winter in Japan but colder. The end of the year is approaching fast and this month means... Something like Christmas should happen. He's not too sure if Camelot celebrates anything like Christmas. But he wonders if he should do something for him and Katsuki... In the least maybe they could find something that resembled fried chicken take-out...

Izuku will be in the living room making a sudden ruckus. A clatter of wood and something else will be heard from the other rooms of the cottage. And if Katsuki goes to see what the hell he is going he might just find Izuku up on a ladder over the mantle of the fireplace as he attempts to up... garland? High up!

With the help of the magic of course. Green alchemy flickering as he feeds energy to the garland to make it grow longer.]

Ah- I... I think I almost have it up!

[If only he was just a tad taller?]
