Izuku had heard very mixed things on the Typhoon -- some people, like Killua, just didn't like them, Jacob seemed dead-set on an alliance, and most everyone else seemed fairly neutral? Meanwhile, all Izuku really knew was that they were warbound and something had happened between them and Snowbound a little before he joined. Basically, Izuku didn't know enough about the Typhoon to really care, but Izuku finds he's inclined to listen to Killua. Well, it's not like Izuku had any plans to break into another clan's territory just to swim, anyways -- that sounded like something that would start drama.
"I probably wouldn't either way, but I'll take your word for it," Izuku says, still grinning. There's always going to be a mix of good and bad in clans, but sometimes it leans and it's just sort of -- well, that's how it's got to be. Either way, though, Izuku wasn't equipped to deal with assholes, with or without violence. He wasn't a good fighter, and wow, if he didn't need to rectify that. Izuku's luck was -- fickle. Somebody would inevitably pick a fight with him no matter what Izuku did if he left the territory for some reason, but so far, Izuku had survived, so it was a double-edged blade here. And if not violence, well, Izuku isn't in tune enough with himself anymore to know how he'd respond. Either way, it wouldn't be pretty.
Anyways -- when Izuku looks up, he's rather startled to see the neutral expression on Killua's face. He blinks a few times, somewhat puzzled and maybe a little worried. Had he said something wrong? He considers asking for a moment, but the thought flickers by without any further contemplation as Killua speaks.
"I suppose so," Izuku says, despite not fully understanding what Killua means. I mean -- there was a chance Todoroki would realize that Izuku would head off to join a new group after too long, but that probably wasn't what Killua meant. Also, putting it that way made guilt curl in Izuku's chest. It'd only been a few weeks, after all, and then he'd just -- given into his paranoia and gave up on finding the other. His gaze flickers back down for a few moments, before Izuku decides that it's not any use feeling bad about it now and how he just ruined the light atmosphere. That can't be a healthy way to deal with guilt, but it's all he's ever known, at least for these past few months, so --.
Izuku's tail continues to thrash in excitement as he hears Killua's agreement. He could, again, never figure it out himself, but that just could be the mental disconnect from his own body and instincts. What it was was unfortunate. Even so, tree climbing could be useful, not just fun, if Izuku could figure it out at all.
So with Killua's instructions, the little Maine Coon approaches the tree. He's still for a long few moments, contemplating, though is promptly distracted by Killua appearing to demonstrate. Izuku starts, but otherwise merely blinks as Killua proceeds to attach himself to the tree. To be honest, he imagines there'll be another disconnect between him on Killua on this. Killua had the long metal claws that had absolutely terrified Izuku in the beginning, plus servals could jump ... what, two meters? Izuku knew regular cats such as himself could jump awfully high too, but Izuku certainly hadn't tested how high he can naturally jump. He might try later, but it'd probably end with far more bruises than he'd like.
With this, Izuku considers the tree once more. His face scrunches just the slightest as he rears up to brace himself against the tree. Then he just -- does his best to follow instructions. He digs his claws in a little, then pushes himself up higher. He digs his claws in as best as he can in now, and he spends a moment scrabbling for purchase as gravity calls. He ... doesn't exactly get it in time, though, and Izuku is sent tumbling to the ground with stinging claws. The Maine Coon is dazed for only a moment before he's back on his paws, shaking the snow out of his fur and puffing up. He certainly looks ... determined. In all fairness, Izuku had seen pictures of tiny kittens climbing trees, and this was just ... sad. Without waiting for input from Killua, Izuku marches back up to the tree to try again. This attempt Izuku does manage to secure himself in time, perilous as it may be. Also, his claws were still stinging from being yanked out of the tree, and that made this kind of ... unfortunate, really.
