Izuku, personally, always found it easy to grow attached to places as long as they treated him well. But, well, there was a distant sort of an attachment, and an actually involved attachment. Thus far, Izuku would like to think he was leaning towards the latter with Snowbound, despite all of the place's possible flaws. Maybe partly because of them, really. The cold and the emptiness Izuku had found ... bothersome, towards the beginning, but they were gradually coming to feel more comforting. Also, Izuku could barely survive outside of cold temperatures anymore, so there was that. It was honestly weird to realize some visitors thought this place was freezing.
In any case ... Izuku had just been resting at home, today. He was basically bedridden anyways, with his leg the way it was. He couldn't put any weight on it without blinding pain, despite whatever natural painkillers he'd managed to snag. However, today, his rest is interrupted by the call of somebody ... down the tunnels? How had somebody gotten this far into the territory? Izuku, blinking somewhat tiredly(though he actually hadn't been anywhere close to sleep), clumsily gets to his paws and grits out a hiss between his teeth at the pain he feels. He spends a few moments reorienting himself, before, slowly, dragging himself to the entrance of the cave, where Izuku finds a rather cold-looking husky. Immediately, Izuku feels a flash of concern, the Tenderfoot's ears falling back the slightest.
"Hi, um, nice to meet you," Izuku says, feeling a little out of his depth. What was he supposed to do now? The other clearly wasn't somebody already initiated -- well, unless he was, but Izuku didn't think he was. Still, a stranger introducing themselves at the cave was weird. "I'm Izuku, are you ... are you okay? You look cold -- I could get you something, hot chocolate or a coat or something, if you need," Izuku decides to start with, still very flustered. He should probably ask why they were here before offering them anything, huh? Somebody should be here soon though, at least hopefully -- Izuku could at least function better in situations like this with some sort of support. "O-or, uh!! s -- is there a reason you're here, though?" Izuku tries to correct. The other offer still stood, of course, but, again, he shouldn't just offer something to somebody without knowing why they're here. Anyways, is he asking a lot of questions? Yes. Izuku thinks he has the right, though, and he really just wants to get this over this so the other doesn't have to stand in the cold for too much longer. Huskies were made for the cold, but, well, not everybody could handle Snowbound territory for long periods of time. Not even in the summer, apparently, but Izuku didn't exactly blame them.
