.. Izuku wouldn't lie. He missed Kirishima. The then-canine had only been gone for .. a week, maybe. At most. But it was still kind of .. heavy feeling. He'd gotten closer to the other, and it's just .. He's not sure. All his friends left at some point for various reasons. He's .. a little upset that Kirishima was one of them. But, well .. at least Kirishima told him, before he left. Told all of them, even if Cry was upset. Sure, Izuki might miss seeing him around, but he would live.
.. The dragon is out of the territory, today. He's still restricting himself from leaving too much, but now he's actually capable of leaving, and wasn't that grand? It took half the time it used to to fetch herbs, too. He should have a large enough stock to be able to take a break, soon. The frosthealer's wings beat, and it brings him a little higher into the air. He's close. The wind is nice to feel against his scales. Flying, as he's found, feels .. freeing. Comforting, really. It's a shame he hadn't figured it out before he shifted, but Izuku can live with that. I mean .. he had it now. This was technically practice for when he managed to shift back. .. If he could shift back. He had his doubts, but everybody else could, so why not him?
.. Eventually, Izuku lands. He's snuffing at the ground for a better idea of the herbs around him, since he was so big he missed them, sometimes. I mean .. he wasn't terribly big, but he was a lot bigger than he was used to. At the least, he can carry more stuff, now. He tucks what herbs he finds into his little satchel and then wanders farther along.
".. Kirishima?" There's a red feline, there. Farther in front of him. Kirishima may have been a Maned Wolf, but the scent is the same, even if he's a little farther away. The wind was in his favor, it semmed. And the Typhoon scent. No coincidence, as he's sure. He takes a somewhat wary step closer, ears twitching. he's a little .. nervous. So, as Izuku calls out the other's name, he makes wide strides to approach, tail giving wide, nervous sweeps.
