Izuku can't help but find relief in the silence. He's questioned everything about the world around him enough, thanks. He hasn't even come up with answers. So, Izuku's tail gives a little relieved wave as Aizawa takes the blanket wordlessly. Izuku honestly isn't sure if his tail has ever stayed still in his entire cat existence. Probably not -- Izuku definitely can't control the damned appendage well, so it definitely displays all of his emotions on its damn own.
But then -- oh. He was being left behind. Izuku lets out a distressed sound as he scrambles to his paws, a moment of just -- panic coursing through him. Was he supposed to follow? Or was Aizawa just leaving him behind? Izuku didn't want to be alone again, everyone kept on leaving him anyways -- (or maybe Izuku was leaving them? He's not sure, he's scared either way).
It's a long few seconds before Izuku calms down and thinks rationally. He hadn't thought his problems were this bad, that was sure new, especially considering Aizawa was just his teacher. Not surprising, but a development he just noticed, yes. Izuku takes a shaky inhale before he moves to scurry after the lion, wings shifting restlessly on his back as his heart pounds. If Aizawa didn't want him there, then the lion would just tell him, plain and simple. Aizawa had never been one to hold back saying anything, after all.
//ur fine!! im dying too anyways afdsags

Aizawa feels a bit of unspoken relief as he's followed. Really, he didn't want to be alone, either. Under these circumstances, who would? Usually he favored solitude, but right now, being on his own would be less than ideal. Leading him like this, though, did give him a sense of familiarity. He wasn't sure where he was going, exactly, but Izuku probably didn't know that much better than him, anyways. He couldn't be relying on him all the time now.

There's that silence again as they trot along, the lion aimlessly walking wherever. He keeps an eye out for something--what, he isn't sure, but he's still vigilant. As the feline had told him, the other people around here were apparently not that friendly. Normally he wouldn't be so cautious, but he wasn't sure of himself in this form, nor in his powers. He wasn't even sure if he could still use them.

So, it only gave him that much more reason to avoid trouble. He was afraid they wouldn't find shelter any time soon, yet it didn't take them long to find a small cave, carved into the side of a hill. It was slightly hidden by the snow and he was glad that he had seen it when he did.

Snow drips down onto Aizawa's back as he enters, soaking through the blanket and making him grumble in discomfort. He definitely wasn't a fan of the terrain so far. The hole definitely wasn't that much better than outside, but it was a little warmer. He didn't waste time in plopping down and burying his face in his scarf, curling up towards the corner to give Izuku space if he chose to join him.
