"It's kind of big, though," Izuku complains. Izuku is very small, and Aizawa's head was rather big, and carrying it over here was an adventure of its own. The fact he managed to toss it on was impressive on its own. Absolutely ungrateful. Izuku pokes his tongue out, all in good fun. He's not too bothered by Aizawa's behavior, honestly -- it was pretty typical. Probably kind of tame, for that matter. Aizawa had finally been set free from the (very lax) school rules, he'd expected that the lion would be ... way less involved. But no, here was Aizawa, still in Snowbound, even if he didn't frequently participate in a lot of events.
"Your tone doesn't really match your words," Izuku snorts, but it's in a very light tone. He'd like the validation, but he doesn't need it, and Aizawa was pretty gruff as was. "Would another one help?" He adds, more jokingly, tail wagging.
Once all of this conversation is through, however, Izuku heads off to the river. It's kind of hard to see from Aizawa's position, though one of the diverging streams is a little more obvious. The Maine Coon grins as he moves to perch at the bank, though he finds himself a little uncertain of where to go from here. He ... keeps his shadow out of the water, but other than that? Who knows. For that matter, he's kind of ... scared, of falling in, or somebody appearing from behind him. Why was he -- oh, right. Nevermind then. Izuku shakes his head and focuses more on the water, nose scrunching. He can see a few flickering silvery shapes a little farther out, beyond his reach. Annoying.
When when does appear in reach, though, Izuku doesn't hesitate to attempt and lash out to scoop it up, but -- he slips. He'd been a little too enthusiastic in his approach, maybe a little too uncertain, and he leans forward a little too far in his attempt. He -- falls in. Very unfortunate. He yelps as he falls in with a splash, the water weighing heavy on his fur. Oh god oh god -- he's in the water, he has the fish in his jaws now, and he has probably -- no idea how to swim?? Wow!! He flails for a long few moments before his claws catch on -- something. A rock. Izuku flails another moment before he manages to pull himself back up, now thoroughly soaked and shaking, but he has a fish so. That's neat. Um, shore is just right there so. He bunches himself up and scrabbles back onto land. He is ... not very far from his original spot, so it's only a few steps before the dripping feline plops back into sitting and drops his fish. That was ... unfortunate. He's a dissolving green bean, now. His scars are a little more obvious, though, and that was ... weird. The burn scars weren't usually noticeable, that's an unfortunate reminder. Well, um -- he shakes his head and goes back to staring blearily in the water as though nothing happened, even if his paws are shaking a little.
