you want some magic? — o, joining

[jacob w.c.]

Jacob was out for a walk. He knew he really shouldn't be out by himself but he couldn't bear to stay inside the caves all day and it was embarrassing to ask for someone to walk with him everywhere. He was sure he could handle himself and if he couldn't.... well, he wasn't quite sure what he'd do in that case but he refused to ask anyone for help until something horrible happened. He knew that was a terrible plan but there weren't a lot of other options unless he wanted to admit to his clanmates how bad his legs really were and that wasn't going to happen when he already had to take care all of the recent murders and try to boost clan morale after all that'd happened. Hearing about how he was probably going to have to find alternate forms of transportation or amputate his legs wasn't particularly cheery and he had decided to be positive from now on, which basically meant he was ignoring all of his personal needs for now.

His thoughts would drift when he caught an unfamiliar scent near the border and began to make his way towards it, aware of how his limp made him move. Eventually, though, he saw the stranger and Izuku, who he knew had joined a few days ago now, and he was given a true distraction. The boy offered a light smile and called, "Oh, hello! Who're ya' n' why're ya' comin' ta' Snowbound?" he asked, pausing for a moment before adding, "'M Jacob, by the way. I assume you're friends with Izuku?"
