along the way ☀ Q&A

[arcy]

Izuku is still smiling at Atbash as she speaks when he hears Harrison. Izuku's ears perk -- at least until he actually registers what Harrison said. Well that was ... concerning. What'd happened while Izuku was gone? He hadn't suspected anything, so he hadn't asked around but. It appears that'd been a mistake.
"I'm ... pretty sure that my methods weren't very healthy. I just sort of ... pretended it didn't happen or that it wouldn't mean anything at all." Izuku offers after a long few moments. For a moment he'd though that he hadn't had an experience like that but no, he'd lived his life depending/believing he'd get a quirk so. It was kind of messy when he didn't. No, seriously, he spent the next ten years deep in denial. And then training to become  hero once he met All Might led him here so. No, not ideal. Anyways, those things had just been kind of ... personally unhealthy, with the context. So he's kinda wary of talking about it without knowing what happened to Harrison???? "Personally, pretending it didn't mean anything was more physically unhealthy, considering that I kept on getting myself into trouble, " Izuku snorts. He'd still run to every hero fight, and he'd definitely gotten a lot of minor injuries from that. And Harrison's next question ... why would Harrison ask Izuku that, personally. Had ... had he even looked at Izuku's fur. It was a mess. Had he ever groomed in his life?
"I'm. not sure? I assume you just keep your fur clean and groomed, but --" The maine coon replies, looking somewhat puzzled. He knew nothing about fur. Izuku hadn't owned a pet when he was human because of the apartment size, so all he knew was from second hand sources. ... He should probably try and figure out the secrets eventually, though. Not just for his fur, but for his wings. Izuku was just a living, breathing mass of tangled fur and crooked feathers.
