Familiar Faces In Foreign Lands [Angel]

Sean was surprised upon seeing Angel's scar. He had seen the footage from last year's Sports Festival, so he was already aware of how that battle had gone. He knew that Angel had sustained an injury. But for it to leave a scar? The boy did not notice that from watching the footage. Jeez, looks like video can't always capture stuff that happens live. "Oh jeez! I watched that fight on TV, but I didn't think it'd be that bad! But hey, at least that's one wickedly cool battle scar you have now."

At least Angel's next words were wholesome. Taking in first year students? That sounded very nice. And one of the two were her own brother! Well adopted brother, but that did not make it any less wholesome. "Aww, that's awesome to hear! I bet you're a great senpai!" Helping others was always an admirable thing, one that Sean always appreciated.

Speaking of help, Angel also seemed to work with several pro heroes in internships. "Ah man, that's the one thing I wish I didn't miss out on!" There were so many cool heroes Sean would have loved to work with. Red Horn was awesome. Yellow Jacket was too, as was Witch Doctor, Blue Agate, Wildheart, okay so there really wasn't any pro that Sean wouldn't want to work with. They were all so cool!

And the awesome stuff didn't end there. Sean's eyes lit up when Angel mentioned just what it was she did in those internships. "Oh man, I heard about that! I checked through old articles and read all about it. I can't even imagine what that must have been like!" Although Sean had only read up on Angel's first internship on the news, the second one sounded no less impressive. It was good that his former classmate was doing well for herself. Hopefully all of his former classmates were doing just as well.

Being a fan of hugs, Sean happily returned Angel's quick hug and matched her grin with his own. "Oh, me? I've been doing okay. Mostly coming to terms with the fact that I can't go back to UA anymore. It's a long story, but I don't have a problem with sharing it sometime." It still saddened him, but the boy could at least recall the tragic events without feeling too down about it. At least it didn't make him cry. But back to happier thoughts. "Oh, I was just checking the place out, since I'm new to the UK. And sure, I wouldn't mind doing either. Sounds fun!"

Rather than focus on old memories for too long, Sean preferred making new ones instead. Especially happy ones with his friends.

Sean chuckled, and not just because Angel tickled his nose a bit with her feathers. "Heh, I doubt that!" No matter how many surfing ladies (or any ladies for that matter, or guys, or anyone ever) tried, his heart was already captured by someone. And no one would ever compare to the gloriously beautiful perfection that was Rowan. She was the only girl he would ever be interested in like that. No one else could ever come close!

"Thanks!" Sean appreciated Angel's words. It was nice to think that his heroic spirit still lived on even if he himself was no longer able to become a hero. Tsunami never dies! He continued listening as Angel explained how her ideology had changed. Rather than trying to spread her message alone, Angel now believed that it was best for there to be several symbols of peace rather than just the one. The boy could see where she came from with that. The idea of a cabal of heroes, a league of justice, a group of pros fighting villainy together, it sounded awesome. Just like the heroes of the comics he loved reading. "Well that's something I could definitely get behind and support!" If that was what Angel's goal for the future was, then Sean would definitely believe in her.

Angel then mentioned the possibility of marrying and adopting a child of her own. "Aww, that would be sweet!" Sean's mind then went to him and... Okay, don't go thinking that! The last thing he wanted was to get teased for blushing all of a sudden. He could not help but think about Rowan all the time, but still, he needed to reign those feeling in and not think like that and make a fool of himself. "Whoever you end up being with will definitely be one lucky lady!"

And then it was time to decide where to go to eat. But then out of nowhere, Sean felt himself being lifted and carried by Angel. "Wait, wha...?" And then they began flying! Wait, was this even legal here? Sean was unaware if England had the same anti-quirk laws Japan did. Or maybe it was even stricter? But now was not the time to worry about Angel possibly getting in trouble. This was exhilarating! The only thing stopping Sean from shouting in excitement was not wanting to draw attention to Angel. But once the two were back on ground level, Sean grinned. "That was way more fun than walking or taking a taxi! Just be sure you're not gonna get a scolding for that." Because that would be terrible. Sean did not want trouble for his friend.

The place they went to certainly looked nice enough. Sean had never been to an English establishment before now, so he was curious to see how such a place differed from a Japanese or an American place. "Awesome." Sean looked around the place before he took a menu. But now was the time to decide what to order. The boy was unsure, so he decided to let Angel pick first. Not to copy her order or anything, as he was not lazy like that. But he was curious on what kind of food she enjoyed. Speaking of food, Sean hoped this place served fish or some other seafood, as that was his favorite thing to eat. But it was okay if he had to get something else. He was not that picky.
