[That's rude. ...Except she did make fun of his fashion choices earlier, so. He gets a smile and no complaints.]

I deserve it! Making you laugh was a win, especially since you make me laugh all of the time. [Whether it's intentional or not...]

[Get used to it. Also, hmm, that sideways glance is suspicious, but she's just going to busy herself with climbing back to her feet. No worries, Okuyasu; she'll pretend like she didn't see a thing as she dusts herself off.]

If I get that many points every time I make you laugh, then maybe I should practice that face. [Except that she can barely even say that without giggling, so that's clearly never going to happen. Whatever! She takes a step forward and offers him a hand up.] Are you going to stay down there all day?

[Don't do this to her! Now she feels guilty, and it's written all over her face as she momentarily pauses.]

I promise that I won't laugh at them again. It was a very creative idea, so—come on! We can go do anything that you want to do!

[While using her quirk would make this much, much easier, she knows that he's a giant baby better than to spring weightlessness on someone without any prior warning. And she doesn't want to make him any more upset, so she's simply going to grab onto his hand with both of hers, grit her teeth, and throw all of her weight backwards to try and haul him up off the floor. He is quite welcome.]

[She! Tried! It's not her fault that he's absurdly huge. Seriously, what do they feed people where he comes from...

But yes, a walk sounds right up her alley, so give her a moment to rub the small of her back—ouch—before she flashes him a smile.]

Sure! Could we go look at Dave's garden while we're out, though? I haven't seen it yet.

[Correction: local thugS check out community garden. She slav squatted! That means she's Tough now, so watch her fly down those stairs in... a most un-thug-like manner. Ah, well.]

It's not that bad outside. I sparred in the rain, so you can walk in it!

[Reaching the door well before he does, she pops right outside and looks up into the sky. Well, it looks even darker than it usually does, but at least it's only misting for now? That's a victory in her books, which is why, when she hears him finally hit the bottom step, she turns to give him a bright smile.]

See? We'll be fine!

[Wow! Who's being sappy now? She's much too nice to tease him about it, but there's no way that she can stop herself from laughing. What a nice thing for a tough guy to say.]

I like the rain, though. The more we get, the faster the garden will grow! [Or does rain not matter when Dave's time magic is involved? Hmm. She'll worry about that later; for now, she just sets off at a rather brisk pace.] I hope they've planted lots of fruit, don't you? Oranges for Iida, and other stuff for everyone else.

[Probably, but the timeline is 2 confusing 4 me at this hour. She will find strawberry seeds... tomorrow.]

Oh! He hasn't told you? [Is there a reason for this? Nah.] He has to drink orange juice to use his quirk. That's why I was so excited when I found the crate of oranges in my room, and when we found those oranges in the woods!

[Helping friends! Yeah!]

[She'd better get one. But drinking orange juice to fuel a quirk is, like, so blasé, so she shrugs.]

That's just how it works for him! Some quirks are like that, but I'm lucky that mine doesn't need anything special.

[Aside from anti-nausea medicine, but whatever, whatever.]

[You love it.]

What if yours did, though? Maybe you'd have to eat lots of ice cream every single day! [Just a bit of goofy teasing, of course, but then she thinks about it—and sighs appreciatively.] It would be expensive, but wouldn't that be great? And my quirk could be powered by mochi...

[If wishes were fishes...]

It sounds so good...

[More sweets for her to dream about. Huzzah. She could cry, honestly, but she's tough! She'll make it through this by turning excitedly back to him and dragging him further down this pit of despair.]

What if you could snap your fingers and make anything you wanted to eat show up right in front of you? What would you pick?

[It's what he deserves! But not really. No one deserves to be tortured by dreams of delicious food, and so Ochako reaches over and gently pats him on the arm. She understands.]

It's okay! It was a tough question. [Totally unfair, actually.] But I bet we'll get more quests soon, and then you and I can go earn lots of food. We might even get something completely different next time!

[Ochako genuinely thinks that potatoes are pretty useful items to receive, but. He gets one last pat. Poor Okuyasu, the King of Purple Potatoes.]

What if we don't have to punch anything next time? The quests could be easy ones. [Wait, that's probably a depressing thought for him, so she's just going to mosey right along.] No matter what we have to do, though, if we get to pick our reward, we should each pick something different so that we can split them between us! Things are always better when you share them with a friend.

[So much sunshine on this cloudy, cloudy day.]
