Mid-Day Snacking (Luna & Danica )

Luna leaned back in a chair in her room. After school, she had relative freedom to herself since she still didn't have any roommates. This meant she could do with it as she pleased for the time being. Of course, she didn't want to be a prude if she was going to have a roommate someday, she'd happily relinquish space so that both could enjoy it.

For the time being though, she was just doing a mix of relaxing and studying. Her body was somewhat sore and she needed some time to cool down but she didn't want to fall behind on her studies so she read over her material as well here and there providing a proper balance.

The dog girl's ears would twitch all of a sudden though as a knock on the door occurred, immediately causing instincts to kick in. Luna let out a low growl as her territorial imperative nature arose causing her to get out of her chair and slowly approach the door. Her growling got louder as she got closer to the door but her nose twitched at a familiar smell. All malice suddenly disappeared as she realized it was Danica.

Luna beamed as she cupped her hands together. "Ah, could that be!?" she could only speak excitedly to herself at the prospect of seeing one of her friends again. Sure, it had been a while since they had spoken but her feelings towards others rarely diminished if they didn't do anything wrong. One could call it a sense of loyalty and bond. "Just a second!" Luna spoke aloud to the person outside of her door.

After throwing on some more casual clothes, Luna opened the door with her tail wagging back and forth extremely excitedly. "It is you, Danica!" she beamed as she came out of her room and closed it behind her. The dog girl then gave Danica a quick hug, or at least tried her best to do so if Danica didn't try and get out of the way. It was exciting that she came to visit her, but she just had to know what her reasoning was. "So anyways, what brought you here!?" it was a casual way of bringing it up, but Luna's personality defeated the calmness of the statement as she instead just blurted it out excitedly.

Now that Luna had properly asked her question, she started to rock forward and back on her feet with her tail wagging steadily behind her as she listened. When Danica finished bringing up the Café, Luna immediately grinned once again showing off an incredibly toothy smile. "Of course! I have nothing set up to do today, so I was originally just going to sit in my room all night studying. But I could REALLY go for some tea right now to relax~" she bounced up and down a few times at the prospect, as so far she hadn't really been invited out to anything by anyone. It really showed that she had made a friend so far and she wasn't completely messing things up with people, not that she thought anyone hated her yet.

Luna proceeded to pat down her pockets to make sure she wasn't missing anything. Most importantly she wanted her device on her person at all times just in case she was called, and to check on the time to ensure they got back before night fell. Though at the proposition of Danica treating her to the tea, Luna could only shake her head and chuckle. "No no, we should go halfsies on it! I promise I won't die spending a bit of cash on some girl time!" she gave a proud little gesture as she had been monitoring her expenses accordingly so she could live a comfy enough life here at Yuuei when she needed to go do stuff out around the city.

With everything in order, the dog-girl pumped her fist and nodded before looking to Danica once more. "I think I'm all ready to head out, we can go straight there if you have the place picked out already." Luna added on, as she didn't see a reason to stall any further. She had everything she wanted to go out for a little quality bonding time with a friend, all they needed was a cozy place to sit.

As Danica began to explain the Café, Luna grinned again at how little they had to travel to get there. "That sounds like a wonderful find, then. With it being so close to Yuuei, if the food is good it can become a popular hangout spot!" the girl threw her hands behind her head with a beaming smile on her face at the prospect. She let out a bit of a chuckle as well, only solidifying the fact that she was incredibly happy to check this place out with a friend who was already familiar with it. It just made everything a lot simpler, after all.

The two of them made their way out of the building, with Luna offering a hearty "Thank you~" after every single door that was held open for her. Danica really was a polite individual to do all of this, it made Luna feel a little bit more appreciated, not that anyone had been too rude to the dog-girl thus far. She just really liked how nice her friend was, it showed that she wasn't alone really in school so far.

Now that Luna was out under the beating sun, her tail started to stand up on end wagging back and forth a lot more quickly. She let out a relieved sigh as she looked up at the bright sky with a hand acting as a visor to block out the sun. The student was certainly glad that she put on lighter clothes for this outing. It was a lot more comfortable to be out in the sun like this where it could hit her skin and warm her up, and it didn't turn her into a burning oven that overheats quickly either. It was the perfect attire for the plucky little dog.

That was when Danica brought up a subject for them to talk about, causing Luna to snap back into reality as she'd move up next to her senior to walk side by side as they got going. "Well... everything is about what I'd expect from a Hero School so nothing has surprised me too much." Luna thought out loud as she walked with Danica, trying to come up with something that piqued her interest. There was only really one thing that worked nicely.

"Oh! But I got to do a few combat classes with my classmates. Fighting alongside them is SOOO fun. We can't really use our Quirks outside of school so being able to see what some of them can do in those classes really mixes things up!" She excitedly began to explain the appeal of this despite it probably not being necessary. It just really made her happy to see how strong and cool some of her peers were. Some of them had some really intense and unique powers.

"As for classes in general, studies have been going nicely. I tried to snatch up the front-and-center seat so I could stop myself from being distracted too much." Luna let out a bit of a cheeky chuckle at that, feeling quite proud of herself for working with her issues as best as she could. That didn't mean she always was able to stop it entirely though.

Now that her own side of the question was done, Luna spun it back onto her friend so she wouldn't feel left out. "And what about you? Are the second-year classes treating you well?" Luna questioned as they walked side by side. Seeing as Luna was still a first-year she was sort of worried that maybe the difficulty would end up spiking each year. While she felt okay about her classes so far, who knew what was in store for her?

This train of thought caused her to look at the ground and press her fingers together, looking a bit more down than usual but she still kept her pace to make sure not to trail behind.

Luna took a bit of a distance from the conversation for a moment, instead opting to listen to everything Danica had to say before responding to anything herself. She wasn't too upset or anything but instead just needed a moment to think over exactly what she had to say. While the dog-girl was quite overexcited most of the time she was just as vulnerable as everyone else to becoming shot and overcome with anxiety and worry. But she certainly was interested in what Danica had to say, constantly looking over to see her friend and be more personal about what she had to say.

When Danica ended up asking if everything was alright, Luna flinched and let out a bit of an awkward chuckle. "Don't mind me I'm just... concerned about myself I suppose." Luna tried to sound a bit more uplifted but it ultimately failed, causing her to shake her head and continue on. "While the classes are going quite well for now, what if I can't keep up? When I see what I can do, and then what the heroes can do, I feel so outclassed by more than what three years can provide. Am I overthinking things?" she glanced at Danica again as she finished off, curious if she was alone in this boat or not. Sure, Luna was proud of her skills but she just didn't think that from there to when she graduated she would be able to close that gap of what she saw others doing. She didn't want to get kicked out or anything.

She had time to think that over more, however, causing Luna to give a soft smile over to Danica. She still needed to touch on the other things her friend brought up. So she would start with the offer to workout together. "I'd really be happy to train or workout with you though. I don't get a lot of personal time with others to practice and having another pair of eyes to help me along could be really cool!" Luna grinned again at the prospect of doing something like that with a friend. It would probably help both of them grow a bit if they got really into it.

While she still wasn't all energetic again, she was slowly getting her groove back just responding to her friend, doing her best to push the negativity to the back of her mind for at least the time being. "I'd say don't try to change yourself too much if it clashes with other students and how they like to do stuff. It is understandable to work on a little bit... but not everyone is supposed to be perfect for one another, just find your way to work with them, ya know?" she smiled happily as this was about the best she could do. There were students in Luna's own class that she just couldn't like to be around, but there was nothing stopping her from trying to get along. Why would two heroes get in each others ways, after all? 

With their conversation moving along at a steady and nice pace, Luna continued to perk back up to get out of the small rut she was in, her gaze turned to face Danica once more. "Have you looked into any clubs yet? I decided to try out for Cheerleading myself!" the dog-girl pumped her arms a bit excitedly. The majority of the people she met during the try-outs were people she had never met before, so it was quite entertaining thus far. Plus some people had so much energy there, like her.

A smile slowly spread across Luna's face as Danica started to reason a bit with Luna about her issues. Ultimately they were probably very small problems that didn't even matter, and Danica was quick to give a it of advice and put her thoughts to rest for the time being. Luna had no desire to back down in the slightest yet and wanted to keep putting her best foot forward every day. If she gave up now because she felt behind, then her worries would be correct. She could prove herself wrong so long as she kept being the best hero she could be and learn to surpass everything she knew.

It didn't matter if she was as good as all the heroes were now, she needed to make sure she was keeping up with what she needed to do, and be. She beamed at Danica for a moment, smiling happily at her. "I... think you're right. I won't back down now, or ever!" she pumped herself up a bit, her fists shooting into the air to try and reaffirm herself a moment. It was hard to just rebound like completely, but it was nice to at least focus on the good.

From then on, the bit of chatting the two did went nicely enough that Luna started to cheer up a lot by the time Danica was putting her sweater away into her bag. The dog-girl couldn't help but grin a bit at her friend once more as she brought up Cheerleader, before rubbing the back of her head. It seemed there was a timeline where the two of them were in the Cheerleading Club together, perhaps there was always next year. She then brought up the Martial Arts Club, which caused Luna to beam a bit more.

"Oh really? I've been really interested in that Club but I'm waiting for the right time to join. I don't want to go poking around unannounced so I'm hoping they hold some sort of event." she chuckled as she mused on it. "My only real way to fight is through Martial Arts. I have speed and mobility on my side but I can't use it to generate much power. I really think I could join that club and make something of myself, hone my skills and become a real fighter!" Luna pumped her fists again. It really was a good idea, at least in her mind. She couldn't help but want to become the best martial artist she could be, using her speed and mobility to outmaneuver opponents and take them down with stylish mixups and well-aimed punches. Hand-To-Hand Combat was so cool!

That was when Danica mentioned heroes and internships. Luna couldn't help but flash a toothy smile as she immediately thought back to everything so far. It was hard to decide. "Oooh you sprung a tough one on me there, Danica!" Lana expressed this out loud, before looking up to the sky for a moment in thought. "I want to meet more of them before I just decide... but the ones I have met all wonderful picks! Like Zombie King for instance! He is just so cool. He has a really intimidating vibe to him at first and I mistook him for a genuine dead body on the first day of school, but he just has such a passionate feel to him. He's really chill and down to earth but yet at the same time there's just something about him that screams wisdom to me with what he has to say!" she has practically only brought up one hero so far, but she already managed to talk a whole lot. But she wasn't anywhere near done. 

"And then there's Aquitaine, her energy is so contagious it makes me envy her! And then her looks, her hero costume is so cool! I couldn't help but fawn over the design and wish I could look half as cool some day! Oh, her power too! Her power helped me to run around a lot longer than usual, even if it felt bad right after... hehe" Luna would chuckle after moving on to talk about their combat teacher. She was a really cool lady.

"And lastly there's PawMight. He's like, SUPER smart and knows a lot about so many things. It is honestly incredible how much knowledge he can fit into that little head of his. It's really inspiring and he feels like a good pick just because of how much he could probably teach you." that was the last Pro Hero that Luna had met so far, and she had absolutely gone the distance on explaining this stuff, probably a bit too much actually. She was too excited.

"Any of them would make me really happy but... I'll wait on deciding, I have a year to meet lots of more heroes and hope they will take me under their wing next year!" she grinned happily, before turning her attention right back to Danica. "So who are you interning with?" Luna questioned briefly while glancing at her friend. Honestly, there weren't all that many heroes that students could go to, so it was possible Luna had already named one. But ultimately she had no clue which one Danica was even interested in.

Luna shifted into a more quiet position now to listen to what Danica had to say. Whoever her friend picked was bound to be a cool hero, and Luna wanted to hear all about it, or what she had to think about them.

With a simple twitch of her ear, Luna picked up one of the names she mentioned when Danica started to explain her internships. It seemed that she really was with one of them, Aquitaine in particular. It honestly made a whole lot of sense to go with their combat instructor for the purposes of interning and learning how to fight. There was a reason she was placed in that position after all. And as Luna said before, she absolutely loved the vibes that Aquitaine gave off. However, the major issue was probably that Aquitaine was incredibly popular and as school went on, there would be more people clocking to work with Aquitaine. It was probably better to go for someone low key.

Next, Danica mentioned Witch Doctor. Honestly, Luna wasn't all too familiar with her aside from the fact that she doubled as both a Nurse and a Biology Teacher which was honestly very interesting. But due to the fact that Luna didn't have any extended interactions with her yet, any comments she could make were sort of null by the fact that she couldn't back anything up. Still, being supportive was nice. "She sounds like quite the practical teacher, it is nice to have someone who can be both sweet and powerful when the situation calls for it."

After she made her comment, Luna followed Danica across the road as she kicked the rock around, giggling a bit playfully before just stepping up onto the curb on the other side. "Ya know, it hasn't really set in yet, but by the time I'm able to partake in internships and apprenticeships... a bunch of the students I meet will move on to become Sidekicks and Heroes themselves. It's a little weird!" she'd giggle a bit before shaking her head. "There's so few Pro's that I kind of take their quantity for granted, I don't have to meet all too many to know what's available. But once all of the third years have graduated there's a possibility that we can internship with them all. That shakes up the options quite a bit." she'd pause for a second before looking down at the ground, her tail swishing side to side.

"I wonder if any of the upperclassmen would want to take me next year, it would really be cool to learn under someone who had to go through all of this schooling stuff too." Luna thought aloud for a moment as she looked up. She didn't know all that many of her seniors yet but it was still a nice idea to mingle with a crowd she already knew from school down the line and learn what they had to offer from their official work.

Luna decided to be a bit more silent again, instead opting to just take in the scenery while walking with her friend as they made their way to the Café. After this nice walk and talk she had with Danica, it was somewhat hard to even remember that the Café was their original goal. It was just so peaceful like this.

As Danica started to describe Witch Doctor a bit more, it brought a more contented smile to Luna's face. She really did sound like a really nice woman to get an internship with, and Luna was glad that her friend had picked someone with such a nice personality and skillset.

After that, Danica said something that caused a red tint to cross Luna's face as she got quite flustered, the dog-girl waving her hands frantically a bit. "I... I don't think that's the case at all! I think anyone is entitled to... er... well" Luna would stumble around with her words for a bit as she really wasn't expecting to be told such a thing out of the blue. How was she supposed to respond properly to being told that people who didn't recognize her didn't deserve her? It was definitely a nice feeling though, her face still burning from the slight shyness she felt about the subject.

As they arrived at the street that the Café was located on, Luna would take note of Danica looking around more, but not thinking too much about it as she would just continue walking casually until she was asked something else. It was an interesting question, something she had put a lot of thought into so far. "I'm caught up on a few things, though I guess there isn't anything stopping me from spreading myself around to learn things from multiple people." the dog-girl mused as she looked up into the air for a moment in thought. "I definitely want to get into search-and-rescue... I think my senses and speed would help in that field a lot. There's also tracking, which I think will do well for me when I need to chase down villains or find where they are hiding. And then chases, I'm sure villains have a lot of crafty ways to escape from trouble but I'll do my best to hone my skills in a chase." she would smile happily as she finished her list of things she wanted to specialize in. All of them had to do with her Quirk of course, but perhaps that was the point. Play on her strengths.

Now they were hading inside of the actual Café, Luna offering a polite bow to Danica as she held open the door. When Luna got inside, she'd clasp her hands together with her tail wagging back and forth. "Ahhh, it looks so cozy." she would exclaim a bit before turning back to Danica. "I'd like to sit in here, but I wouldn't mind going outside either~ Feel free to pick." she would answer honestly before looking over the menu. She wasn't too much of a picky eater herself, so it didn't matter too much in her eyes.

"I'll take the special, please." she would smile to the person at the counter, her tail swishing side to side happily. It hadn't been too long that they were out yet, but Luna was happy to be in such a relaxing environment with her friend.
