When he checked the snowy territory one last time, his bicolored hues finally caught sight of another creature that was approaching him from afar. The stranger was some sort of canine that was fairly well-built. And while their body was significantly larger than his, their appearance did little to faze him because of the strange attire they had on. Unless he was seeing things, he was pretty sure that the older male was fashioning an oversized fuzzy sweater. It was definitely something that he would not have been caught seen wearing as it probably would not have suited him. Though he supposed it was none of his business as it was the wolf dog's choice. Perhaps they had it on to protect them from the cold weather. If he were a normal creature like them, then he probably would have had to wear one as well. The red and white feline's gaze continued to linger on their outfit until something else caught his attention. They seemed to be struggling to make their way towards him due to one of their paws. Perhaps they had broken or sprained it somehow. What a shame. Losing a leg made it difficult to fight, after all. They still might have been able to defend themselves but their opponents would have always had the upper hand due to their handicap. He patiently waited for them to make their way over and was almost tempted to pad over to them himself. Though he decided not to as he doubted it would have been smart to cross the border. They had it for a reason and that was for creatures like him to not intrude into their land. After they barked at him, he noted that they had a peculiar accent of some sort. He was not sure what to call it since he had never heard it before, not even in Japan. If he cared enough, he might have asked them but the domestic feline was too focused on finding his lost friend. Todoroki cleared his throat after he listened to what the mixed breed had to say. They gave him a greeting, an answer, and then a question. The loner slowly blinked his dull luminaries as he collected his thoughts. Instead of saying something stupid on accident, he decided to be smart about what he said. The last thing he wanted to become an enemy of a clan. He would have had an unfair advantage as it would have been one to ten or however many creatures they had. Instead of questioning the chief's response, he pressed his lips together. The husky mix claimed that they did not know of someone named Midoriya, which puzzled the boy. Were they being serious or were they just trying to deceive him? His green-furred friend had told him that this was the place where they lived so where were they? Did the fluffy tom not go by his last name or something? Now that he thought about it, he was pretty sure the Thunderlanders knew the boy by his first name Izuku. "He also goes by Izuku, if that helps." the smaller feline added in a whisper. Surely, they had not left already, right? He doubted the winged feline would have just left without saying anything to him. They had seemed grateful when they had reunited with each other a few days ago. The lanky youth simply nodded his head in reply to their last inquiry as he did not feel like speaking anymore. Who would have wanted to when their friend might have been missing again.
Flicking his tail in agitation, he narrowed his sharp oculars towards the ground. Dammit. Where the hell had the winged feline gone off to? He continued to muse over Midoriya's whereabouts until a familiar voice filled his ears. "That's me, Jacob." He nearly jumped in surprise as he abruptly turned to face the tinier apprentice. "Midoriya?" he murmured aloud as if he was making sure it was really them. The ex-human seemed stunned and realized at the same time, almost as if they had believed that the trainee had disappeared for good. Without even thinking, he stepped over the border to get closer to the maine coon. He stared at them for a moment before a small smile appeared on his lips. It was microscopic to the naked eye but it was definitely there. Now that the striped Snowbounder had shown up, Todoroki had completely forgotten about the other canine's presence and was too busy making sure that his comrade was still in one piece. The Japanese apprentice probably had no idea how worried he had been when he had heard that there had not been a Midoriya around. If they had, then they would not have been grinning from ear to ear. And instead of sharing all of his worries with them, he merely let out a sigh while he shook his head in amusement. "Hey..." After this, he closed his mouth as he was not sure what to say next. He wanted to say more to the child but was not sure how to put it into words. It also did not help that he was hella awkward at participating in conversations. He preferred staying silent over talking. It usually helped if there were more creatures around as that would have averted their attention to them and not him. But in this case, he was the one that Midoriya was speaking to and not Jacob. The silence continued to fill the air until he broke it by addressing the leader of the group again. "Like you said before, I came here after your clan was recommended to me by Midoriya." If it had not been for them, he most likely would have never found this place. And speaking of the maine coon, were they not cold? He was pretty sure the quirk user was not immune to the weather so why were they not wearing a sweater as well. Perhaps they were just enduring it or had gotten somewhat used to it. They also had a thick coat but so did Jacob. "Is that fine with you or do I have to go through some sort of initiation?" he added while he lifted a metaphorical eyebrow. Todoroki would have preferred not having to deal with a test though it was required to prove his worth, then so be it. At least it allowed for him to stick around with his ex-classmate. He would have just had to show the Snowbounders what he was capable of as he doubted they wanted a clanmate that would have been of little use to them.
