With each day Izuku spends in solitude, the worse the itch to go out and do something increases. It's not because he wants to go out -- god knows if he attempted to face his clanmates he'd burst straight into tears. He's just -- he's been terribly overwhelmed. Everything was too loud and he just -- even hiding away in his den was too much. But -- well, Izuku has responsibilities. And last time this happened, Izuku had been absent for a few weeks before he'd been too distant and scared to want to interact with his clanmates. So -- the instant he feels even the slightest bit better, he decides it's time to go out.
Logically, Izuku doesn't think anyone will blame him. They'll think that it's because he's traumatized by his injuries or something, which is -- not quite true. Izuku was hardly phased by his injuries, in fact. Sure, he'd nearly bled out, but, as he must emphasize, that'd happened a lot when he wasn't in a group. People attacked him for no reason, and Izuku moved on. He was only shaken because somebody had actively sought him out to attack him, for once. Though -- that happened occasionally, actually. He means like, hunted him down literal months after their original squabble. And also -- yes, Izuku's eyesight. He'd kept on bumping into walls and the such, and it was kind of just -- he's not sure. He'd been able to see a little better for a while now, though, but it caused -- very nasty headaches. Everything bled into each other and the light hurt. Snowbound was -- well, with all the snow it was awfully bright, so keeping on his bandanna was the best option.
Oh -- but what's he doing right now? His tail is twitching as he slowly moves towards the more populated areas of the cavern. His eyes are, for once, unbandaged, the scarring over his eyes uncovered now. Even in the low light of the caves, even so close to the entrance, the Maine Coon's eyes are squinted, and he can feel the careful pressure of an oncoming headache, obvious as anything. He ignores it for now, though -- he'd go back inside or put the bandanna back on later, before he got a migraine, but he could deal with a minor headache, at least. Still, he resists the urge to rub his paws over his eyes to clear the fogginess, knowing that'd just make things worse. Besides, he still has a lot of ink on his fur. He'd finally gotten to cleaning the ink spill in his room, and needless to say, he'd made a bigger mess than he'd started out with. There's a little thermos of hot chocolate looped around his neck too, just because. (it was kinda heavy, though, though it wasn't a lot. It was .. kinda sad. anyways.)
Still, as Izuku hovers around the area he generally sees his clanmates, a little trickle of pain in his head, he's a little puzzled. Was anybody there? He doesn't want to go actively seeking anyone out cause going out was an effort of its own but. He'd at least like to make his return from a mental health break a little more clear. The maine coon huffs, messy fur prickling, finding himself a little more impatient than usual. (you know what else he was a little more of than usual? messy. his fur was a wreck. He hadn't groomed it in weeks.)
