.. It was kind of strange, wasn't it? His classmates showing up, he means. They always showed up in surges, one or two or three within a week or two. Then, most of them disappeared forever and Izuku was left to his own devices once again. It was a strange feeling. A hollow one, really. .. He missed them. As much as Izuku had left them all behind himself, already so invested in Snowbound, he just .. .... They were the first people that'd been .. really nice to him. Didn't push him or burn them or hurt him, not outside of spars or anything. Kacchan(..Bakugou?) was, of course, the exception. Though even that'd gotten better with UA.
Waking as a cat had been pretty weird, too. .. Traumatic, honestly. He wonders if his classmates had struggled as much? .. He hopes not. Even with the history of it left entirely behind, he still felt the effects now. Granted, his more serious injuries had happened here in Snowbound. Such as his leg -- not third, but forth degree, apparently? It was .. not great. He limps along the snow-covered ground, tail swishing. .. He's tired. But there's a red figure ahead, and a .. vaguely familiar voice, so Izuku sighs and pushes onward. Another visitor? A joiner? Izuku can't be sure.
"Hi!" Izuku chirps, pausing to shake out green fur as he seats himself in front the canine. Nobody was here yet. Again. .. He doesn't like dealing with visitors alone. But he will if he has to, so he allows a passive little grin as his tail twitches behind him. "Hi. Do you need something?" He repeats again, blinking at the Maned Wolf. Straight to the point, and completely excluding the name part because 'name and business' was .. nerve-wracking. He didn't need that kind of negativity in his life when he was on the verge of passing out nearly always.

Well, Izuku knew not to ignore the ever-haunting feeling of familiarity by this point. Familiar -- it meant he knew them. No need to go through the drama of it all anymore. No more crying or bleeding or hysteria. Just .. hello, we knew each other! And then his clanmates would show up, curious, and that's just how it was these days. Ugh. He knew a pretty good portion of the people who came here. How many were there? He just .. they all died. Was that all of them? Really?
"Uh, this is Snowbound," Izuku explains with a vague motion of the wing. A feather drifts down with even this simple movement, and he pulls his wings back to his sides. .. Right. Hot chocolate. That was a thing? For visitors? And .. everyone? He has some of those. He always does. Mid-way through conjuring it, though, Kirishima introduces himself, and Izuku .. grimaces. There's relief, a flood of it, but there's also 'oh god another one how did this one go --' "Kirishima?" He echoes, looking up and blinking, shuffling his wings. He shoves the hot chocolate at the other, expecting him to take it. He doesn't ask if he wants it like he usually does with visitors, 'cause .. seriously. Izuku shakes his head. "Um -- hi. It's. Me. Izuku." Is all he says. Izuku. Midoriya. Oh, right. He forgot the Midoriya part. Had he really left behind the surname stuff that fast? It'd been uncomfortable at first, but now it was just .. Huh. Well, if Kirishima didn't know his first name, Izuku would be .. a little shocked, Just a little. But. Y'know. With the green fur, that should be enough to still ge.t
