Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Haa… Haa… Haa…” Rather red faced as she ran along at a pace that was leaving her just a little bit puffed out, Chloe Crawford gasped breathily as she fought to draw air into her lungs, but despite her wheeziness she fought against the urge to slow down with everything that she had inside her; feeling like anything less than her best would be letting herself down, and then some. I think, little by little, I’m getting a little stronger? Certainly never in all that bad shape but her capacity seeming to improve with her time at UA, she had been a little startled to see the high overall standards that her fellow students were keeping there, and now felt she was being pushed to reach new heights for herself as well by her own desire to try and ‘catch up’ in any small way she could. Though I hope I’m not holding him back too much? No longer satisfied with simply having a strong and refined level of ability with her quirk as she realized that she needed to be ‘more’ than that, this recognition had been down to so many people, but none more so than the well-built teenage boy with whom she fought to keep up with now. I bet if he wanted to, he’d have finished this distance already, wouldn’t he? A mountain of muscles at her side and perhaps a pace or two ahead of her as well, even though they weren’t in the same class Chloe had found herself drawn to a figure that was filled with a mix of enthusiasm but also a similar gentleness to that which she offered, which might have surprised people had they seen him. Though he’s probably got a lot on his mind really, with the tournament and stuff? Generous and kind hearted, Miss Crawford had almost literally stumbled into this impressive youngster for whom she held such a high degree of admiration and interest, and had been happy when they had become running buddies as part of her own efforts toward improvement, with a steady friendship seeming to sprout between them in combination with the emerald eyed teens emerging talents in endurance. Not to mention the stuff that’s going on at ‘home’ for him? This factor also making her rather sensitive to the condition of a boy who some might have seen as loud and perhaps a little awkward at times, he had been through a lot lately and that had led the girl to caring for him more than most people at school, and pushed her to be as helpful toward him as he was habitually to everyone he met. At least in her observation. “H-Hey Kirk?” Taking a few deep breaths before she felt sufficiently ‘fuelled’ to speak, Chloe called out to her companion in a manner that still carried a little shakiness due to how heavily she was pushing herself to keep pace with this titan of physical activity, but not for a second seemed to want him to let up on her at all. Wholly interested in the wellbeing of the strong figure with whom she was jogging and wanting him to get as much out of this little activity that he could, the bubbly brunette also wanted to offer him someone to talk to if he was feeling stressed or nervous about the competition that was coming, or anything else that might have been bothering him really. “H-How are you… Enjoying England?” Perhaps the fact that they were in different classes always offering a bit of a divide between them, though Miss Crawford was eager to grow closer to this lovingly loud lad it presented a bit of distance that they still hadn’t quite managed to overcome, but hadn’t discouraged her. Instead the British belle as keen as ever on the idea of becoming more acquainted with her running buddy, even if her heritage meant that she would broach personal topics from a less than direct path all that she wanted was to start a dialogue with Kirk, and hope that through this and some time spent doing something he seemed to enjoy they might find the bud that was their friendship blossoming into something really quite beautiful… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit

What has been told about Kirk jogging, that has not been done before? Kirk pretty much lived that solid pace of putting one foot in front of the other. Just letting his mind wander wherever it went. The pinnacle of relaxation. There wasn't much new there to unpack. With the competition looming ahead, and the thoughts of his grandpa leaving in his mind, both of those things were a very welcome thing indeed. However, as always, jogging with a bro was also quite a nice treat, double that when the person was fully ready to improve themselves physically.
Which is why he had lately started jogging with Chloe. One of those people he had met by chance during other jogging trips. Their meeting had been a little bit on the awkward site, what, with warm-ups immediately being followed by saving a child from flying away with their quirk. Not exactly the most regular way to make first contact. However, after that, it just sort of stuck. Their routines in going out were pretty similar in some ways, where they kept bumping into each other, and eventually, they just kept going at it together. Kirk had always had it easy making friends after all, and this was no exception.
This time the situation was different in the fact, that Kirk was in a whole new country doing his usual thing. Yet another good thing about jogging: It allows you to survey the area very easily, and gives you the lay of the land! That and it kept Kirks eyes grabbing onto new things repeatedly, be they signs selling something just crowds of people shouting in excitement and outright folks shouting towards them! Although, it was mostly people poking fun at him looking like a proper tourist. And Kirk in his moment of relaxation, just smacked his fingers to his forehead, winked in their general direction, and gave a loud "Heck yeah I am!" Proper heroic demeanor and all, even if nobody here knew him in that regard yet.
However, what did get him to slow down a bit, was a gasping shout of his name from behind him. Kirk turned his head to look, only to realize he had ran a bit ahead again. "Ah, sorry!" Man, running so much ahead could be a bit rude, hehe. That and it was hard to talk, if you weren't looking at the person you were talking to. "What's up?"
The question was simple enough, that Kirk didn't even need to stop and think about it any more than necessary. "It's great! ...I think." He did scratch his head briefly. "Admittedly, it's like whoever I talk to, I find a new way english is spoken. I mean, I dunno what half the words this one guy said even were!" He chuckled in his usual fashion, although giving a casual glare around to make sure people didn't care he said that. Indoor voice, indoor voice! "It's nice, that I didn't need to learn a whole new language to hang around casually here though." Kirk learning how to speak japanese semi-fluently was already kind of a miracle. Guess it was just him being very fast paced overall clicking a little bit with all the small parted words in the mix.
"Admittedly, I could ask you, if Yorks any different from where you are from over here." A casual follow-up. "You know, Texas is hella different compared to NEW york, and what not!" Heck, hearing York was the place where they were going to had Kirk absolutely hyped. "I thought we were going to America for a second there..." Admittedly, as much as he wanted to keep it out of his mind, he did still miss his grandpa. Of course, he was still calling him, but it just wasn't the same as talking to them like they were in the same room...

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Heeheehee~” Giggling softly at the remark that Kirk made about struggling to understand the people around here a little, despite her relatively ‘locality’ Miss Crawford certainly understood his confusion of her companion, given her own experience in the area. “Yeah, the Yorkshire dialect can take some getting used to, can’t it?” Breathing a little easier now that her running buddy had eased his pace a tad as well, the bubbly brunette could remember her own misadventures in communication when she had first started attending the Valiant academy the year before last, and titled her head as she found a sense of amusement in the idea of this loud lad trying to communicate his concepts to people with such thick northern accents. “Well the accents are certainly very different, aren’t they~?” Smirking as she found this readily tying into the young man’s question of how she herself was finding the region, because this was the place she had been attending school until only a matter of months ago Chloe found it quite welcoming on her return, but as she gave away a playful joke she scoured her mind to recall how she felt when she had first arrived in the region. In many ways finding her feelings on the matter something of a ‘mixed bag’, the honey-haired heroine could recall herself feeling a little out of place, but not overly so even on her first day. “I'd say it is, and it isn’t, I suppose?” The land of Japan where she now attended her education certainly feeling like far more of a difference culturally but that understandable, while things had looked different they had seemed the same as well, in an odd little way. “Where I’m from is certainly less hilly, and usually a bit warmer…” Britain certainly having far more variance in its landscape than one might have given it credit for, while this probably didn’t even come close to matching the epic transitions that one might have experienced moving from summit to base of a continent like North America, it was enough for a local to notice but without feeling threatening or otherwise off-putting. “But I think there’s something about the air or something that feels similar?” The folk that lived in this region more welcoming than they really needed to be or even as much as one might have expected given their rough sounding accents, even though Miss Crawford had felt like she had come so very far when she had moved from home, once she had gotten used to it she had never really felt all that out of place or separated from her loved ones all that much? Still in the same time zone and perhaps used to living apart from her parents because of the fact she had attended a boarding school in her youngest years, she had always felt like she was still at home and perhaps the fact that she was so attuned to the medium of air had something to do with that since it always felt very much like what she was used to, when she had given herself a chance to notice this of course. “Heh, yeah, this international affair seemed like it could end up anywhere, didn’t it?” Smiling at the enthusiasm of her friend of course and remembering her own reaction when she found out they were heading to another country for the Exhibition that was to come, while it was for different reasons perhaps that Chloe felt this way, she too had been rather excited to learn this fact and speculate where they might end up. By no means disappointed when she had ended up back in her homeland though, despite the fact that it might have been interesting to venture to somewhere new and exotic it was reassuring for her to return to her roots, and given the time she had been away also something that she had needed without ever realizing it. “Did you… Do you want go to America?” That seeming to be a case that was somewhat particular to her however, as she contemplated her own joy at returning to the place she had been raised Miss Crawford could not help but wonder about those who had been less fortunate than her, and principally in that consideration lay the lad with whom she was jogging. “That’s where your family is, right?” The life of Kirk Buster not having been all that easy over the past weeks and months, even though they weren’t close enough for the bubbly brunette to know the ins and outs of every little detail she had been privy to a detail or two that worried her, and because of that she would wonder if this eager exerciser would have been happier getting the ‘gift’ that she had done because of this factor in his life… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit

Kirk scratched his head. It was a relief to hear that he was not the only one who thought this accent was kind of silly. Just hearing her talk about her own country of origin was nice. "Yeah, I getcha. America in comparison is kind of a mix of all sorts of things! Though mostly its sunny, and real hot. Heck, when you have the hottest place called literal 'BADlands, you kind of start to think whats up in there hehe!" Kirk was wondering if he was rude being all judgemental like this. Had to counter balance the scale a bit! After all... "Although, Texas where I'm from is the BIGGEST in everything! ...Atleast in some regards hehe!"
The comment about the air made sense too. He pinched his nose comically. "I get that too. The moment grandpa left the house, the place started smelling completely different. Old man smells, you know?" Kirk blinked for a moment. "...Man, I have good topics to talk with girls about, don't I?" He still wasn't sure how relaxed he could get sometimes. With bros, these things could be just laughed off, but talking with a girl still gave that mild worry of them turning away and going all EEEEEEEEEW!
However, at the end, the girl asked him a very awkward question... Maybe he should have not said anything about his grandpa. "I mean... I think everybody in U.A does? Sometimes? Get homesick I mean?" He was avoiding it a little. "I mean, it's not like my parents were at home that often anyway. Reason why my grandpa lived here with me for a while..." He pinched his jaw and sighed. "Just, been a while since I've lived all on my lonesome you know. Despite living at the dorms surrounded by pals, it feels REALLY weird!" It had been months and yet he still missed his grandpa. "I just hope I am not being too clingy! Don't wanna get on my bros nerves whatever the case..." Of course, he knew he could trust in em. Even if Yumi hadn't forgiven him, it wasn't like she actually outright loathed him. And knowing what he had done, that was about it...
Kirks running speed at this point was more of a relaxed walk... "But enough about MY family issues, hehe. What about yours? I bet you've visited them here already, right? Or maybe they are visiting you here! Big ol family vacation, you get me, hehe?" He stepped into this discussion with his usual discreetness of a bull.

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Heeheeheehee~” Kirk quickly seeming to be his usual exuberant self once the conversation got flowing, as energy and loudness abounded from the boy she jogged with Miss Crawford giggled lightly, and hardly even seemed to notice her breathlessness or tiredness now that they were chatting. Perhaps I was worrying over nothing? A largely social girl who found herself invigorated by good company, the emerald eyed extrovert was probably not as chatty as the bounding boy next to her was and for certain far more softly spoken, but at the same time she sensed that they both seemed to feel a lot more comfortable and capable when they allowed themselves to act outside their heads and not get wrapped up in their problems that might present to them in otherwise introverted situations. “Oh, and what sort of things should girls be talking about~?” Intrigued however when the lad mentioned the fact that his topics of conversation left a little to be desired in the field of lady-like suitability, honestly this breezy beauty was so used to talking about any and every thing with the people that she liked that she found few topics to be really all that off-putting on the whole. This might be fun~ Amused enough to question him on his meaning however, though mostly because of a playful side she tended to only show around people she felt she had grown close to, Chloe was curious to know what her ‘coach’ might think to speak about with girls off his own back and waited with her breath baited to find out the answer to this. “Hmmmm…” Narrowing her eyes a little as she considered the words of her partner carefully, though Kirk certainly showed his usual degree of optimism and understanding attitude as he assessed his familial isolation Miss Crawford felt as if she could sense a hint of sadness undercutting that, but that was something she could readily comprehend. I suppose he’s right there, even if I’m used to living away from home, it’s certainly a big relief to come back? Rationally understanding that she wasn’t a child who needed to be wholly dependent on her parents but at the same time recognising the fact that she felt more at ease with them around, while the bubbly brunette was steadily growing past that and perhaps feeling less and less lonely without them as time went on in many ways she had simply learned to treasure the time that she did have with her parents, and other persons who had become precious to her as well. “I’m sure any real friend loves to have you nearby Kirk?” This latter spirit making her speak more earnestly as her running buddy expressed a little doubt over the clinginess that he saw in his behaviour, Chloe was quick to correct his ill feeling and point out that if people had a problem with him it was their issue, and most assuredly not hers. “And if they’re not happy to have you around then I’ll sort them out, give them the old pow pow!” Offering a supportive smile on the issue and then going a step further to demonstrate her idea by getting a little bit uppity, with a grin the girl with the green gaze let loose a one two combination with her fists in order to get across the message that she expected only the best for the boy at her side, and then began to giggle a little at her act a moment later. “Oh yes, I popped down to the estate with Kanna at the weekend?” The high spirits of this honey haired heroine certainly only bolstered by how she had spent her ‘alone time’ as part of the trip, Miss Crawford felt little need to hide the grandeur of the lifestyle with which she lived in the country as she answered the question of her companion with a flick of her hair, and also did not conceal the fact that she had also brought her beloved blonde with her when she got back home either. “My parents were rather eager to see us both again so they made sure we had a pair of first class train tickets waiting for when we arrived?” Not really knowing all that much about whether or not the school was abuzz with rumours about the two of them or the amount of time they seemed to spend together of course given her low-strung manner and tendency to not pay much attention to gossip, the bubbly Brit saw no reason in really concealing the fact that she had already taken her new best friend home to meet her parents before this occasion, showing perhaps a sense of innocence about her in the fact that she did not assume that an immediate romantic connection might have been drawn by some when one considered the fact that the duo seemed practically joined at the hip by this point in time… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit

It was sort of a relief to hear Chloe laugh. Atleast his babbling was hilarious. However, the question about why felt almost like he had stepped on some sort of landmine. "W-Well...!" If this was a comic strip, this was the point where Kirk would get a sweat drop next to his head. "That's the thing, I dunno! I ain't a girl!" He literally brushed his shoulder with his hand. It was awkward to say the least. Then he proceeded to look at Chloe, and lift his index finger. "I mean, if I told my bro Darren about this smell business, he would have probably joked, that its smell of death or something hanging around!" Kirk was used to this sort of dark jokes whenever he was near him. Yet another pal he needed to have a casual conversation with again. "Meanwhile, if you told me that my place smells... Uuuh..." Yeah, Kirk didn't know how to dig himself out of this pitfall. "I guess it would mean, that I would need to get cleaning or something!" That seemed like the most logical course of action.
Admittedly, girl just glaring at him didn't make it any easier... He felt scanned. "You trying to lie detect me? Never been good at that myself, if you catch my drift!" Yeah, he was a little bit too gullible and much of a bro to suspect somebody lying to him. He did have his own opinions on things though... For some reason, Kirk felt the need to sniff the air a bit, if the smell comment was some sort of indirect hint about his own body odor... dagnabbit, what sort of person would sniff their armpit in the middle of the street? Kirk couldn't help but chuckle at the stupidity of the thought.
Heck, her next comment hit him like a soft pillow. "O-Okay!" He nodded in agreement... before briefly shaking his head with a briefest of blushes, although in this case more from slight embarrassment. "Okay, twelfth rule of brodom! Don't go from talking about smells to suddenly saying heartfelt things like that! Catches a guy off-guard REAL good!" Not that it didn't make him feel a bit better! Yeah, his situation with his friends was certainly fixed. Heck, she was apparently outright ready to give a good ol beating to whoever doubted her in that assumption! "Careful, bro! You'll make them feel bad having you around that way!" He said that in a bit more jokey tone.
"Besides, You are right in that I ain't gotta worry about being bullied. First of all, RULE OF MUSCLE!" He flexed, lifting his arm up high! "Ain't nobody bullying a brickwall like this with ease! And secondly, I got enough bullying in my primary school, that ain't no insult that can scratch me!" Why do you think he started working out? Really made for a much more respectable figure than 'that kid with a backpack for a quirk'!
However, the topic switched over finally, with Chloe finally turning the target towards herself instead. "Huh? Kanna?" Kirks hand once again went into his thick puff of hair... a familiar name for sure... but who... "Oh yeah! The gadgeteer girl! I remember her!" Not in the way that he had actually talked to her or met her, but he did see glimpses of her occasionally! last years sports festival for example, talking by red, that sort of thing! More surprisingly, Kirk didn't even flinch at hearing the word 'my parents estate' come out of her mouth. At this point Kirk was kind of used to a lot of his friends parents swimming in cash.
However, with this sort of thing, it was pretty clear that The girl was keeping Kirk in a bit of suspense. "Come on, you don't stop this sort of stories on 'they went on an adventure' sort of thing! Lay it on me!" Admittedly, Kirk was pretty easy to hype up for hearings of adventures of any kind, but that's what made him Kirk.

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Heeheeheehe~” Giggling as her rambunctious running buddy rattled on about smells and how he should approach conversation with women, Miss Crawford would have to confess that one of the reasons she felt such a strong draw to Kirk was because she felt they shared a similarly innocent spirit, which was refreshing to her given how ‘complicated’ people had seemed to get during their teen years. Seeming to have a similar fondness for simplicity and perhaps silliness as well, the green eyed girl grinned as she listened to loud lad by her side with amusement, and found her interested piqued a little when he brought up a name she did not quite recognise. “Darren~? Who’s that~?” Not so au fey on all the people that inhabited her school due to her relatively recent entrance to the place, even though the second year classes were not huge Chloe had struggled to properly meet even all the people who occupied class A let alone any of the others, and as such she found herself totally ignorant to the identity that her friend had mentioned. Which was amusing really, given the fact that he was someone who was also rather close to the blonde who she had bonded with so much recently. “Lie detector~?” Somewhat befuddled however when the boisterous boy next accused her of trying to read his mind or something similar to such a concept when she went quiet, the emerald eyed enchantress was so straightforward that really struggled to comprehend needing to ever rely on such a thing, and once again demonstrated her naiveté as she questioned the concept curiously. “Heeheehee, are you trying to deceive me, Kirk~?” Totally grabbing the wrong end of the stick because of her confusion due to this, the strange comment of her companion prompted the pure-hearted princess to assume his slip was of a Freudian inclination, and she guessed he was trying to hide something rather than what he had originally intended. “Heheheheh, well make sure any who try know that people have paid a heavy price for bullying friends of mine in the past~” The amusement of the young angel continuing as her bounding buddy began to mention some exercise or anatomically connected rulebook, while she was relieved to discover that no one was picking on her pal Miss Crawford still made sure to confirm that a grim fate waited for anyone who might think to mess with him, and perhaps showed a hint of how much Kanna had rubbed off on her as she did so. “I got kicked out of school once for that, you know~?” Almost seeming as if she was bragging when she admitted the fact that her first ‘heroic’ use of her quirk had been to protect someone in trouble at her school, all that the bubbly brit wanted to do was confirm that she took challenges to the wellbeing of her friends very seriously, though in retrospect did feel quite the swell of pride at what she had done in recollection. Gadgeteer~? Practically giggling at the term that her ‘coach’ used next to describe her classmate turned new best friend because of how strange it seemed to call her that, even though Chloe had learned by this point that her blonde buddy certainly loved to tinker with things, it seemed like such a cartoonish term that suited a mad scientist rather than the punkish but pretty thing she found herself sharing so much time with lately. “Heheheheh, she’s hard to forget, hm~?” Laughing a little and perhaps demonstrating a hint of awkwardness when she realized now that she recognised her raucous roomie more for her good looks than she did for her habits, it was perhaps lucky that her face was a little red from the running she had been doing so as to hide the blush she carried at this recognition, but was all too quickly something that the breezy beauty could move on from as their conversation continued. “Oh, well we got home, saw my mother and father…” There not really seeming to be all that much ‘adventure’ in what she and Kanna had gotten into really but the curiosity of Miss Crawford’s companion coercing her enough to spill the details of her visit all the same, as she continued along with their running route the girl with the green gaze looked upward slightly and tried to recall what they had gotten up to, even if it didn’t seem all that interesting. “Took the dogs for a big walk…” Really just enjoying the chance to get back to her ‘normal’ life for a bit after having been away for so long, while it had been interesting for the ingénue to share some of that with someone who was becoming an increasingly pronounced presence in her life the stories she could share did not seem all that event-worthy, and so she could offer only the scantest details about them without feeling like she was going into unnecessarily levels of detail… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit

Kirk flinched a bit, realizing that he hadn't even mentioned Darren yet to Chloe... "Oh, Uh! That's my best friend! The biggest bro! The guy I do anything for and he does anything to help me! Or so I think at least." He scratched his head again. Sadly, he had not seen him in ages. And he left at a pretty bad time too. "Gotta just wait till he shows up again, you know... didn't even come to the sports festival this time!" With all the awkward air between the two, he was one of those people he had really wished would have come with them. But, what could you do. The thought that he couldn't really do much about some things was what kept him so calm about them.
Although, with his awkwardness about her staring at him, Kirk couldn't help but lift his hands defensively. "NO, no no...! Of course not!" He shrugged. "Staring just usually means folks have questions, you know?" Although admittedly, hearing her having actually been kicked out of school for a while had Kirk surprisingly wanting to ask some questions. "Really!? You of all folks?" She just didn't seem the type to beat people up... Although... "Guess that's the power of the brocode for ya! Protecting pals until the ends one of the rules at the top."
Speaking of pals, talking more about Kanna just made Chloe blush... And with the stuff she was telling, it was clear, that it was probably something that she didn't wanna indulge on too much. Kirk had seen this sort of stuff with Tetsuko and Elise quite often. "I getcha, I getcha. Girl business!" He gave a smile as he eventually stopped walking. "Guess we can move on to working out something else than our mouths for a moment, hehe!" He proceeded to squat a couple of times, and then stretched his legs from side to side. "Alright, what muscle is on the menu for today?"

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Ohhhhh, he’s a student?” The obvious implication of Mr Buster seeming to be that the mysterious Darren was someone who attended the same school that the two of them did as well, the bubbly brunette couldn’t help but wonder who this person was who had such an impact on the lad next to her, and feel intrigued to know a little more about him. “Can’t say that I’ve ever met him~?” Tilting her head a little ways as she recalled the faces she had met at school and found her mind coming up empty for someone who seemed to match the name she was given, given the high level of renown that her friend seemed to hold this unknown figure in Chloe couldn’t help but feel that it was a little strange she was unfamiliar with this soul, and found that a shame given how much her buddy seemed to like this unknown figure. “Hmmmmm, maybe~?” Pausing and then letting her green gaze linger on Kirk when he mentioned the fact that people only seemed to stare when they had a question to ask, Miss Crawford continued her mischief a little as she smirked and shrugged away the concept passively, and then acted even more playful still with what she said next. “Perhaps I was just admiring your good looks~?” Grinning as she offered the briefest and perhaps best hint of flirtation with which she was capable of as an ironic piece of comedy for her companion, once the frolicsome femme had done so and let her gaze linger for a second or two on his face to gauge his reaction to her risqué remark the saucy sylph began to giggle, and hoped that she hadn’t gone too far with her little bout of frisky friendliness that she had shown. “Heeheehee, surprised you huh~?” In some ways rather happy when she managed to prove herself not quite so innocent and angelic as some might have taken her for, even though Chloe was for all intents and purposes a rather splendid person it did entertain this emerald eyed enchantress to demonstrate she had far more range than most might have given her credit for, and so she felt no shortage of satisfaction when it seemed her bounding buddy was surprised to hear of the reckless actions of her youth. “Hehehehe, you sure love the bro code, don’t you Kirk?” Glad to have his approval for what she had done as well, as the mound of manliness next to her expressed this in his own peculiar manner the buoyant brit couldn’t help but chuckle as she called attention to the perfect peculiarity that was shown by her partner, and beamed at him as she pointed out his fondness for camaraderie in a manner aimed from admiration than admonishment. “Hmmmmm, I wonder…” Next finding herself a bit bewildered however when it appeared that their chance to chat was at an end, ultimately the breezy beauty was happy to go with the flow for the most part and defer to the obvious advantage of experience that her friend possessed, and as such offered little suggestion of her own as to what they might work on next. “I mean you’re the one with the big battle coming up, what do you think would suit you best?” Mostly happy to have a workout buddy who would help her work on the basics and extending her stamina and the capacity of her breath one of those things that seemed essential when it was that which seemed to curb her quirk the most, for the most part Miss Crawford was happy to work on anything so long as it meant she was getting that bit stronger than she was before, and let Kirk take the lead with what they chose to work on next… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit

Honestly, with all these tiny praises he was receiving, Kirk couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. "Gotta just hope the folks here agree! Don't wanna disappoint anybody by coming up to the stage all sorts of scruffy and dirty..." Heck, maybe Darren would at least watch this thing on tv? Had to give a good show for him to have a chuckle at! That and family would probably be way less if he didn't stand out as loud and proud as ever... Wonder if Grandpa was gonna be awake when the show was on... His head turned to its side, as he caught Chloes next comment... "Bro-codes almost a lifestyle really." He seemed really wistful. How many folks he knew would actually be seeing his efforts during this stuff?
He had to actually clap the side of his face a little. This was not the time for this. It was workout time! Kirk proceeded to jump up a little, bouncing from one foot to the other. "Good point, good point! Now let's see, what to do?" He looked around, trying to grab some inspiration from his surroundings. All these funky looking quirked folk... "Well, Quirk training would naturally be good, but... Nah, that's illegal. And good folks don't do that sort of stuff randomly!" Hmmm, what sort of folk was he gonna be fighting? "Yumi and Red are gonna be classic foes so..." Had to make this stuff quick! But they had just been running quite a lot! And it had went about as well as his apology! Maybe a bit too easily... Yumi did say she hadn't forgiven him yet... That and He hadn't actually talked with Red about that stuff yet... "God, what if they get angry during the fight?! That's a dangerous boost!"
Kirk just pounced a bit faster! That minor worry once again bounced about in his head! "Okay, seriously, what to do, what to do!?" Come on, something relaxing! SOMETHING THAT STOPPED HIM FROM THINKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION! Okay, last time he did some sport that was like that... what was it, what was it, uuuuh...! "YOGA!" He stomped the ground like he had gotten an eureka! "I mean... Maybe Tachi or what that is instead..." Kirk pressed his hand against his forehead a bit and sighed. "You know, something relaxing yet physically busy!"
Kirk shrugged. "I feel like I need that sort of thing the most currently." An awkward grin grew on his face momentarily, before slumping down back to sort of a grumble. "...Did you truly mean that nobody could dislike me? I mean..." Chloe didn't know the stuff he had done before. And Kirk wasn't usually the sort to like and remind himself that he had done those things. He started spreading his legs a bit slowly as he lifted his hands over his head slowly. "Uh, just follow along, I think this is how this thing goes!" It was slow, and certainly had Kirk wracking his head about very simple moves, as he once again slowly lowered his hands, and then pushed them forward... Kirk was certainly more wracked about it than even weight lifting... "Okay, Back! Aaaaaaand forward!" He outright took a step forward...

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Heeheehee, I suppose…” Tapping her chin lightly when Kirk pointed out that they couldn’t really practice with their quirks here, even though it was absolutely the right call Miss Crawford felt disappointed that they were denied the chance to work on what might have been their greatest asset, and for a second pondered the idea of doing it a little anyway and hoping that no one noticed. “And even if we were gonna do it sneaky style, this might not be the best place to try that?” Unfortunately a public street not the ideal place to get away with some stealthy lawbreaking shenanigans, even though the breezy beauty would have been happy to loan her own quirk to help her friend improve as she had been with Kanna recently, it seemed that her training partner was probably in the right when he said that it was likely a no go. No matter what precautions they took, it would only need one unkind soul to report them for it to bring trouble down upon their heads, and could potentially be a lot worse than that as well. “Yumi and Red…?” Wistfully questioning the paired set of names that her partner offered up as he suddenly seemed to show a sense of discomfort at his thinking, as the enthusiasm of the loud lad seemed to dip for a second or two Chloe couldn’t help but feel a little concerned for his wellbeing, and formed a knot of frowning as she wondered who these people were to make him feel so out of sorts. “Heheheh, well, hopefully all fights will have an honest and honourable spirit?” Ultimately just assuming that his small show of uneasiness was more to do with worries about what might have happened if things in the upcoming tournament got out of hand, without really knowing the ins and outs of what was happening among the more dramatic section of the UA crowd there was little more that the sympathetic sylph could guess at, and as such she did not read all that much between the lines for the moment on this matter at all. “If someone went after you maliciously then I’d have to step in, wouldn’t I?” Instead deciding that her muscular mate was maybe in need of reassurance as to what might happen if things did go wrong, Miss Crawford confirmed her support for Kirk in the same spirit that she had shown earlier when she had spoken of protecting her old classmate so many years ago, and winked at him with a raised fist as she did so. “A ‘bro’ has their friend’s back, right?” Smiling as she even dipped into the vocabulary of this jocular giant to reinforce her point, even though she knew that she was about as intimidating to others by image as a labradoodle pup tended to be the bubbly brit hoped that her message might at least blast away a few of the nerves that her brawny buddy was feeling, even if the method was derived more from comedy than capability. “Oh, Tai Chi?” The ears of the emerald enchantress perking up when her teenage trainer mentioned moving onto something that would be a little less intense upon her meagre form, even though Chloe was keen on pushing her capability that bit further it was encouraging to know that she wasn’t going to need to be bench pressing tree trunks and performing inverted sit ups or something, which seemed like they might have been par for the course given the intensity of the enthusiasm of the young man she was training with. “Heheheheh, yeah that might be good for both of us, huh?” Certainly the act of slow controlled exercise not quite as likely to bolster her endurance or might as much as something more extreme but useful in its own way, the breezy brunette guessed that mastering careful and measured motion might be useful for her quirk control, and that she might be able maintain her creations a bit longer if her body was more used to such movements and deliberated designs. “Well of course, Kirk… Why?” Not quite able to focus on their exercise though as her usually bluster-filled buddy showed a hint of vulnerability as well, Miss Crawford felt her heart pang a little as she was asked an earnest and honest question about her partner’s likeability, even though she answered with honesty and confirmed the fact that she would stand by her assessment the anxiety that the green eyed girl sensed in the question seemed to tell her there was more to this than appeared. “Do you feel like… Someone doesn’t like you?” Looking toward this towering titan of a teen with sympathy as she elected to encroach upon whatever issue might have been bothering the boy, should her fine friend feel like he was able to share his worried with her then the chocolate-locked lass would have been happy to listen to him, however if he didn’t that was fine. She would never push him beyond what he felt comfortable with… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit

Chloe agreed. This was not exactly just some empty part in the middle of winter. "Yeah, I ain't sneaky in anything anyway! We would be caught before we could utter a single gasp!" Heck, that was the most minor worry in Kirks mind. "I mean, it's a hero school, hehe! Honor and honesty should sort of be the point!" In that regard, it was nice that she had such an energetic girl, who kept bombarding him with all these little things to keep note of. He didn't really have time to worry about things, if he just didn't sink into thinking about anything. Sadly, he needed to actually use those grey brain cells sometimes... "Yeah, feel free to step in in that case. Although, I don't think I need that much help to get things done!" The biceps weren't there for nothing after all.
But once the exercise started, there just wasn't as to help him avoid those thoughts. Heck, they felt like they came in more so! The action didn't require that much brain thought, because they were standing mostly still, aside from very small movements. Heck, Chloe herself hadn't been distracted, so she immediately answered his question, and proceeded to counter with her own... At this point Kirk should have been prepared for it. The girl just tended to have this sort of curious tone in her voice all the time. "Well, uh, you know, it's just uh...!" His body clearly tightened though, as he made the tai chi maneuvers very roughly, and rapidly, making it look like an amateurs first try at Karate. However, soon enough, he lifted his arms up and threw them forward with a groan. "Ugh, I guess you could say that."
Admittedly, it wasn't a story he liked spreading around... But he had driven himself into a corner like he usually did. Running his mouth. "Well... I guess it's more of a MAYBE they dislike me. Like this stuffs already settled, but I am still feeling a bit bad about it." However, he felt the need to do something during it... so he proceeded to take a tai chi pose, and just squatted very slowly. "Good for the knees... Gotta be ready to jump at every moment in the actual events so..." Gah, now he was just buying time.
He turned his head towards Chloe. "You know how sometimes you feel like you wanna do something? Something really stupid? But when you almost do it, you anger your friend in the process so badly, that you feel bad even going near them for a while?" He briefly broke the pose to scratch his hair. "Well... that's what happened to me last autumn. Didn't really feel like I belonged into my class for the longest time. Really miserable times..." His head nodded to the side as he closed his eyes. He had never seen her that angry before. Actually, angry PERIOD! It just outright felt like a bad fever dream at this point. "I mean, I did get it fixed and my grandpa told me good things too but... Eeeeeh..." He just couldn't get the thoughts out of his head. "Just one of those things where I just don't feel exactly likeable, you know? Just been thinking about my public image a bit. If people knew this stuff they probably wouldn't like me nearly as much!" He gave an awkward grin and a chuckle. "You could say I am lucky that I ain't exactly a pro hero yet. Folks would gossip!" He had always been careful about following the rules, even with Darren as his bro. But that one little slip up... it just meant that he wasn't exactly the nicest guy when bad times hit.
"Grandpa did say that me being loud though is just me being me though. That I can be proud of!" He tapped his chest with his fist, but still proceeded to sigh.

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ “Hmmmm…” Considering the issues that Kirk raised to her carefully and somewhat quietly as he laid things out to her, Chloe hummed gently as she ruminated over his issues and mimicked the poses he took, letting out slow and controlled breaths as she did so. Maybe they dislike…? So he’s not sure, just sort of… Assuming this, is he? Still a little bit confused as she assessed the matter but hopeful that this bemusement would be cleared up if she gave her friend a chance to explain himself better, the bubbly brunette waited patiently for her chance to broach the issue fully and moved around in a steady manner while she did so, showing off a little of the inherent grace that she possessed in the process. “That must have been awful, feeling like you were in a class of strangers? All alone…” Nodding slowly once her running buddy had seemed to spell out his issues in a fashion that seemed that bit clearer, Chloe couldn’t help but feel a swell of sympathy and sadness at the idea of a friend suffering with a sense of isolation and loneliness, and that cut her quite close to home really. “I think I know what that’s like… At least a little bit?” The incident to which she had previously alluded one that had these aspects and then some, the girl with the green gaze couldn’t help but note the similarities and the segregation she had found when it had led to her being schooled from home. Things hadn’t been awful, but at the same time she had missed having friends a lot. “Heheheh, if it got too bad, then I’d have had to insist you join class A?” At least trying to put a brave face on things as she offered him a half serious solution to the problem he had faced, Miss Crawford certainly would have been welcoming of having Kirk in her class and actually found the prospect of him joining quite entertaining really, since it seemed somewhat quiet for the most part. “Kanna and I could have taken care of you~” Most assuredly none of her classmates bad people but a lot of them the serious and studious type, even though that label might have applied to the brit as well she did feel things could use a little more life, and would have been amused to see how her blonde bestie would have gotten on with this lively but loving soul if he was near them. I wonder what went on though? He sounds really worried…? Certainly finding herself to be rather curious about the occurrences that had led to this situation but mostly this feeling simply because she could not comprehend why someone might take such a severe aversion to her affable ally, despite this the emerald eyed enchantress was not going to push her pal on the matter since she suspected from the fact that he hadn’t mentioned it but had mentioned feeling bad that it was something he considered shameful, and as such didn’t want to push him. “So you haven’t really spoke to this person, or people, you think don’t like you?” Instead deciding it would be better to ‘solve’ the personal aspect and maybe push toward a happy resolution for everyone, while the details were intriguing what mattered most was the outcome over everything else, with Chloe’s intellectual stimulation coming last in these matters. “Do you want me to ask them about it?” Ultimately the issue seeming to be one of ignorance, or perhaps lacking information due to reluctance to engage, Miss Crawford had no doubts that her burly buddy might feel a lot better if he knew how the other party in this matter felt about him so he could move on from the moment, and in this aspect she was happy to intervene. “I’d be happy to, if it put a smile on that pretty face of yours~” Not really knowing exactly who was involved in the matter but that not really bothering her, the bubbly brunette was happy to chat with anyone on almost any subject, and did not feel all that stifled by the prospect of mediating for a friend all that bothersome or intimidating at all. Diplomacy seemed her strong suit, after all… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit

Ugh, she was thinking. One of those situation where Kirk hated to be in: Saying something and then just waiting for somebody else to say something. It just had the minor feeling of being judged... which was not helped by the fact that he didn't want to exactly interrupt. It was a serious situation, which the girl would need to draw a conclusion from herself. Heck, he had done enough pushing for the year already. Atleast the squatting he was doing was allowing him to put the stress into something else than just twiddling his thumbs awkwardly.
Eventually the girl seemed to come to some sort of conclusion. And Kirk couldn't help but nod. "Well, kind of... Honestly, the fact that I knew all of em might have made it worse." His head notched to the side a bit. "Just gave me the sort of feeling, that if ANYBODY heard about it, if anybody told anybody else about it and started getting the rock rolling... I would have nothing left. Just, all of my friends, gone poof, and out of the school probably in the process..." He still hadn't exactly told her WHAT it was about. It still wasn't a topic to tell. Especially to a girl. A bro of a girl especially. How awkward would that be, all this helpfulness and then telling her he was in mental anguish over asking a girl about things... had bad news written all over it.
Of course with those thoughts, him being suggested to change classes, did make Kirk shrug. "I mean yeah, back then it would have probably been a good idea." And with those thoughts, Kanna and Chloe 'taking care of him' just made him scratch his cheek. "I-I guess. I ain't exactly uh... a hard person to get along with." He had to wonder what other people were in class A for a second... Although he shook off the thoughts pretty quickly. "But in the end well, I am class C:s spirit pretty much. Would be really awkward for a guy with my level of volume to leave, you know?" One of those things where Yumi had told him something that had actually helped a little. She really felt like he was a part of the class where if he left, it would leave a man sized hole needing to be filled.
However, when it was brought up if he had talked with the person, Kirk flinched! "NO, No! I mean, YES! We have talked it over! The stuffs not a problem anymore probably in their eyes!" In the end, the girl of course was still very open to help. And honestly, Kirk felt a little bit bad, when his answer was pretty obvious. "Nah. This is once again a case of the brocode, you know." He lifted his finger up almost instructively. "'you gotta tell your bros if something is up'. That's really important to do yourself. That and well..." He finally stopped squatting. "There is nothing bad in telling what you think, as long as you are ready to take the consequences. That's what my grandpa said." Admittedly, he did feel a bit better getting this stuff off his chest in this regard.

Fancy us meeting like this~? ❝ ’It’…? The continuing allusion to something that she wasn’t aware of only reinforcing the curiosity of Miss Crawford, though she certainly didn’t want to probe Kirk on an issue that was clearly rather troubling for him at the same time that degree of difficulty made the brunette’s mind boggle, and crave the details of what could have caused such a problem for such an affable young man like this one. “But I’m sure that whatever you did… It isn’t as bad as you think it is?” Whatever it was fascinating but the belief of the bubbly brit unshakeable, even as her friend tried so very hard to paint himself in a bad light the beauty before him would hear nothing of it, and instead tried to reinforce the idea that no matter it was she was assured that it was nothing all that bad given the person she was dealing with. He was too much of a sweetheart to do anything too dangerous or distasteful, after all. Volume~? Is he making a joke~? All too quickly finding herself intrigued and amused by another issue however, our honey haired heroine couldn’t tell if her blustery buddy was making a joke with the words he chose to use but regardless of the intention the teen found her funny bone well and truly tickled, and had to pause for a moment and try to stifle her giggling before continuing her exercise. “Heheheheh, I suppose that’s true really?” Not only that but certainly agreeing with the sentiment that the boisterous boy shared as well, without a doubt the large lad seemed to convey the image of Class C as Chloe saw it, but then there was probably a pretty big reason for that as well, but not one she felt it polite to share. “Well you’re certainly my favourite member of Class C~” Still something of a stranger toward the people of school, beyond her own class there were few folk that the serene sylph could really claim even a casual sense of familiarity with, which made the man before her a natural choice for the ‘winner’ of any contest that might decide the ‘face’ for their group in her mind. “I really can’t imagine them without thinking of you~?” That fact something she was content to keep to herself for the purpose of raising his spirit however, even if Kirk did prove the victor in this imaginary contest simply by virtue of some might have considered the two sweetest words in the English language that did not diminish his achievement in the emerald eyes of Miss Crawford at all, and if anything spoke volumes of his likeability really. After all, he had been the only one of the bunch to make her acquaintance thus far, hadn’t he? “Heheheheh, are you sure?” Still enjoying her chance to mess around with this well-built boy however, even as this titan of a teen refused her help Chloe couldn’t help but chuckle and repeat her offer playfully, and raise her fist in as intimidating a fashion as she was capable whilst wearing her usual bright grin. “I can be ‘very persuasive’, if you know what I mean?” Naturally this not all that threatening but that not mattering to her really, one of the things that she liked most about larking with this lad was how down to earth he was, and how that helped her feel more comfortable with who she was as well. “If they give you more trouble, Don Chloreone just might have to intervene…” Not even realizing when she had started it but noting that she tended to act a little more like the ‘angelic’ image that she carried around strangers and those who had more of a stuffy bearing, it was nice to act a little more childishly, delightful even. “Make them one of those offers they can’t refuse~?” This reflected in the goofiness that the girl with the green gaze showed, Miss Crawford would even go so far as to pat the cheek of her partner playfully as she acted out a silly scene from an old movie that had become a meme at some point, and then beam at Kirk blissfully because of her chance to bear her weirdness with little restraint. “Heeheeheehee, your Grandpa sounds like he’s a great man~” The eccentricity of the emerald enchantress not undercutting her core values and compassion however, perhaps in part because of the fact that she could tell that her friend was missing this influential idol Chloe couldn’t resist the urge to compliment the man that she had never really met, and hope that it offered her companion a little comfort in her gesture. After all if anyone deserved to feel better about themselves right now, it was him. “Is that where you get it from, your own greatness~?” The praise and reassurance abounding from her afterward as well, given how he seemed to quote the wise old man so much the answer to the breezy beauty’s next question was easy to guess, but she still had a use for it all the same. Feeling that the close comparison between a man that Kirk held in such high esteem and himself could only help to offer him self-confidence, which he probably needed given the torrid time that he had been through, Miss Crawford was happy to ask all the same, with the intent of shamelessly extracting a smile or maybe even more than that as ample reward for her effort… @tag | Word Count: ### | Outfit
