Our once barren world // private, Izuku // now brimmed with light

WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob smiled and turned when he heard his apprentice's voice, setting down the notes he'd been filling out. He was still worried about the herbs but that could wait. Besides, Harrison had asked someone to help find herbs anyway so hopefully they'd have more coming in soon enough. "It's good ta' see ya', Izuku. I wasn' sure if ya' ate or anythin' so I've got some cookies in' things," he stated, gesturing to the plate he had out. He quietly began to put away the herbs he'd pulled out, speaking as he did so. "So, I like ta' run these things called monthly checkups. It's jus' where the medic team, you n' I, look for anythin' that might've been missed in the usual chaos ah' the clan. Li'l things that need ta' be treated but got overlooked for whatever reason. Usually it's jus' li'l cuts or scrapes n' sometimes maybe a li'l cough that needs ta' be looked after. Things like that," he paused briefly, glancing to the boy before continuing, "Since I got a lotta' other things ta' take care of, I was thinkin' you could run the checkups. I know ya' know more than what I've taught ya' n' it seemed like you were pretty confidant with li'l scrapes n' things, right? With knowin' the herbs ta' take care ah' li'l injuries n' disinfect them n' all that? 'S okay if not, I can go over it a li'l more if ya' like. All ya' really need ta' know for the checkups is that n' then noticin' li'l illnesses n' how ta' help with 'em, like if someone's got a cough. How much do ya' know about that kinda' thing?"

From the tryouts themselves, Jacob had been able to tell that Izuku already knew quite a bit about herbs and medicine but he wasn't sure how far that knowledge extended. He didn't want to start with anything too complex before he got a good idea of how much he already knew. He then glanced to the books and then his eyes widened slightly. "Oh! I almos' forgot! Those books n' notes righ' ova' there are the ones my Ma gave me when she taught me all 'bout this kinda' stuff. I thought you'd have better use for 'em than I do anymore. I also made ya' a li'l bag ta' keep herbs in when ya' walk around n' things. I wasn' sure if ya' already had somethin' ta' do that or if ya' had powers ta' jus' make whatever ya' need appear but I think it'd be a good idea for ya' ta' have some way ta' carry herbs with ya' all the time if you're an official part ah' this team now. Ya' never know when someone might get hurt so it's good ta' have basic supplies ready. Once we finish stock, I'll set out a schedule for how much ya' should keep in there or with ya' at all times," he explained. —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
