Izuku would suppose some of his behavior towards Aizawa was because of how the lion was not technically his teacher anymore. Aizawa was pretty caught up on this world by this point, but Izuku figures that he'll continue knowing the little things he hopes Aizawa won't. The creatures here, not from the clans, even, are territorial and prone to violence. Izuku was definitely still the same kid dreaming big, despite everything that'd been instilled in him, but he'd just had to ... shift it. Izuku couldn't be a hero anymore, not officially, but he sure could try and be one in all but name. He'd start with medicine, of course -- one of the more straight forward routes, here. Once he was a little more confident with that, Izuku would just have to learn to better wield his powers and learn how to fight, so he could face people better.
But, oh, he's getting distracted -- his train of thought had changed tracks quite a few times during that monologue, rather unfortunately. He's lucky he's killed part of his mumbling habits. By this, he means that it only really happens when he's doing analysis, which wasn't incredibly often anymore, due to lack of stuff to analyze.
In any case, after several minutes of sitting around, Izuku has managed to catch yet another fish. He'd learned his lesson, and though he kind of wobbled as he caught onto it, he didn't fall in, despite his furiously pounding heart. That made ... two fish. Maybe another? Izuku didn't have a lot of patience, though he was pretty lucky, it having been only a few minutes. He bets he could get more if he jumped in, but Izuku isn't exactly willing to test that out. Unfortunate. But, well, fish weren't always close to the shore, so -- Izuku hops back to the rock he'd been perched on, just a minute ago. He wobbles a moment, and if Izuku squeaks in terror, that's nobody's business but his own. Claws now out, he steadies himself, and then looks into the current. And he waits. And he waits. And -- oh, thats a little terrifying. Izuku blinks as he catches the dark shadow(hah) of a fish, just a little farther under the surface. Izuku, crouched on the rock and shaking, lowers his face down. Yes, big. That'd be nice to catch -- maybe it'd actually be a little more to scale to Aizawa's size. Izuku's gaze follows it, eyes narrowed. Was it worth the possibility of drowning? Perhaps.
As it nears -- Izuku, instead of just using his paw, dives, front half sliding off the rock as he catches it between his claws and teeth. His hind legs don't have any purchase against the wet rock, where the river is beating against it, and he scrabbles against it even as his face is stinging against the fins of thrashing fish. The only reason he's not lost it is because he has all hands on deck, honestly -- his other fish had been about the same size as Izuku himself, because that's just how size scaling worked, and this was. Bigger than Izuku. So if he slides into the water, unfortunate, because he can't see or hear or anything now. It at least gives him the chance to use his hind legs, and doesn't give in until it stops moving, moments later. Just in time, though. He bites down harder as he clumsily paddles against the water, lucky that it's not too rough, it was just the rock's unlucky spot. Cats were pretty buoyant and all that, though his fur made that pretty awful, and his heart is kind of pounding as his paws catch onto land. Absolutely terrifying. It's even heavier on land. This was an entirely unrealistic experience as a newbie fisher and swimmer, honestly, but since when had Izuku cared about realism? He'd almost drowned twice during his entire experience, thank you very much.
So with this all in mind, Izuku ducks his head under his bag, to  carry it, and waddles back to where Aizawa was. He'd probably been gone a little concerning long, by then, but Izuku didn't really care. He was busy being a little smug, mostly proud, over his catch, at whatever cost it may be at. No, seriously, his hearing was kind of muddled and there was water in his throat and nose. He had to keep blinking because his eyes were ... sore? from the water. All in all, not great. Even so, Izuku would find himself wandering over to wherever Aizawa may be with triumphant look still in place as he drops it. He looks like a melted cat. His fur is soaked, and it's dripping and looks vaguely terrifying. As in -- he looks very small, but there's a ton of fur just. Hanging from his body.
