[...Okay, that's so cute it actually gets Guren to laugh, cheered up for the moment after all of these stressful meetings. He reaches over to mess up that wet hair even further, ruffling it.]
Haha! You try telling that to Mika and see what happens. He'll think I brainwashed you.
[Izuku doesn't even attempt to move away when he sees Guren reaching for his hair. Drenched as everything is right now, the gesture of affection is still nice--to him at least. It draws a smile out of him, serious topic aside.]
He can't think that's what happens to everyone who likes you. [...can he?]
Crowley. He's tall and muscular, with a braid and red hair. Some of it's darker. [I don't understand his hair don't ask me]
He plays it off like he's a thirteenth progenitor, but he's actually a seventh. The last time I went up against him with my own squad and Yuu's, we lost and I was captured. But for now, he's on my side. I've already spoken to him.
[So, he's fucking strong!! Yay.] Remember, this is all for your ears only. The only thing I want you telling your patrol is that Mika is friendly, and that you can use him, even if he won't join the force. He'll still be patrolling that forest. I know him.
I won't. [The serious look melts back into a smile as he makes that promise.]
Well, you already know about the firebreathing ones, and the ones with the teeth. There's some that have extra pairs of wings, too. They're basically like all the other animals you can find inside the forest--they're all mutated, but not in the same way, even if they're the same base animal.
From what I've seen myself and heard from others, they usually move around the forest in small flocks. We should be able to capture a few of them if we separate them from the main group.
He's one of my best friends! And I'm pretty sure he's convinced I can't take care of myself at all anymore.
Library works for me! Unless you wanted to check anything on the forum while we're meeting up. Then we should probably meet up at my place. Those things always work best when you're in the residential areas.
I'm...not sure. That's what I'm hoping we can find out.
[And then Izuku shakes his head.]
Not yet. I...wanted to make sure it's a pattern between all of the things in there before I actually said anything. The last thing we want to do is create a panic of any kind, only to find out we were wrong.
Yeah...I'm not 100% sure what the process is like, but rice is grown way differently than anything we have in the garden. [You can bet that he would've looked it up already if he had the proper resources in Chroma.] We'd have to set up a whole different area for it, I think.
[Izuku laughs a little.]
It's a little funny if you think about it. We'll have all this knowledge of gardening that we didn't have before when we finally go home.
[It happened! It finally happened, and she wants to actually tell him about it, but goodness, how in the world is she supposed to... start this message...
Please know that she sits in front of her laptop for a good ten minutes, agonizing over every little thing she writes, before she erases it all and sends the following:]
