Izuku, in general, definitely wasn't a great person to have as a guide. He tended to be a little dramatic, or get distracted, or go on long tangents about nothing in particular. He's not even sure why Aizawa is still following him blindly, aside from the obvious. Like ... if Aizawa really wanted to, he could take charge. Izuku was used to being bossed around enough that he probably wouldn't even bat an eye. Or he probably would, actually -- he'd had a few months worth of sweet, sweet freedom, where even high ranking figures only tell him what to do when it came to politics or whatever. There weren't even that many rules, and the ones that were in place were just kind of -- 'listen to your leader, and try not to hurt people', which is really kind of what Izuku was doing, anyways.
There's a long stretch of silence, during the rest of the walk. It kind of ... agitates him. Not the silence itself, but because there's nothing to distract him. Unlike Aizawa, Izuku could remember everything about his death, crystal clear. He didn't like to think about it -- honestly, he'd suppressed it so bad at some point that Todoroki even mentioning it had caused him to vomit. It'd been ... a very gruesome, long thing, his death. There was a reason he was so hesitant around weapons, and also blood. People had only showed up to help towards the very end, and honestly, everyone's expressions would haunt him in his sleep.
Luckily, before his thoughts can get much farther down the rabbit hole, they're there. Izuku hadn't registered how the pace had picked up, and blinks a few times as he registers the stream coming into sight, and in another moment, the whole 'doom and gloom' tone of his posture had just vanished like smoke. It was a very pretty stream, though very very cold. It was a shame they(aizawa) would be bloodying it. In the meantime, Izuku hops, and leaps onto a stone sticking out of the water. He nearly slips, but with a panicked flip of the wing, he manages to right himself. His paws are .... probably going to get frostbite or something, but standing on/over streams was pretty nice.. And, come to think of it, Izuku really had no idea where they were gonna sleep that night. Izuku himself probably would have chosen to climb a tree, but most of them were pretty twiggy and would probably snap under Aizawa's weight. Plus asking him to climb a tree would be asking way too much of him. A cave? A snow cave? Hm. Questionable.
