Izuku probably wouldn't have been surprised to have been compared to any fans Octane might have. Izuku was practically a fanboy before he was a person, and it probably showed. ... Admittedly, these were wildly different circumstances. Izuku had never been genuinely scared of his heroes.
Izuku seems to shrink further into himself hearing Octane's laughter. Laughter, Izuku found, was a very -- mixed sound, for him. Ultimatley, it didn't mean much of anything. His ears quiver, and while he doesn't seem particularly comforted by the cheetah's following reassurance, he doesn't seem as wild-eyed as he had been. He was still a small and somewhat sniffly bundle, but he doesn't seem as ready to bolt.
"..Okay," Izuku mumbles. Ultimately, it's Roxanne's words of comfort that seem to settle him most, glancing shakily between the small group. .. He hasn't had this many people's attentions focused on him .. ever, probably. Not in a good way, anyways.
"I'm, um. I'm fine," He squeaks, desperately trying not to break into another ramble. A more passive look of alarm had passed over his face at the way Octane had perked up, and, well -- if his response is a little too rehearsed, a little too instinctual, that's for someone else to deal with, as far as Izuku's concerned. He is fine, if they're -- if they're not gonna hurt him. The burns are inconsequential, as far as he's concerned. "U-Um -- Izuku. Midoriya." The kitten belatedly manages to get out somewhat choppily, turning his attention onto Roxanne. He's not -- he's not really. used. to there being -- so many people this big. Some of the teachers had been, but he'd never -- never had to face so many of them at the same time. It's. It's intimidating, but it's not .. it's not like it's a big deal if they're not. if they're not gonna, um, hurt him.
... He's still not entirely convinced on that front, but Izuku's willing to give them the benefit of doubt.
