[PALLAS!]

A HEART, EMBARK, A BEAUTIFUL STAR
SO FAR IT FEELS AMAZING!

Well, here was the issue of the day, folks: Where to sit, and who to sit with. With one prior expedition into recruiting friends up and done with, Pallas is now more excited than ever; the people of U.A are so damn nice! There's a real sense of kindness from person to person, a distinguished eagerness to meet and speak to their fellow saviors... Or, at least, that's what Pallas is picking up in his time here so far. The only issue is how to go about meeting more people.

Make no mistake, he could start wandering around again to see if anyone comes up and starts talking to him, but he's done that once before! The Maekawa's never use the same tactic twice - that's how villains get a hold of them, you know! So, what's the plan for today? Pallas... doesn't really have one! He supposes the goal is to find someone who looks interesting and see what their story is, but everyone at U.A looks interesting! The faculty, the other students, everybody!

His head spins. Trying to pick just one interesting person is practically asking for a migraine.

He takes a deep breath, trying to keep his Quirk from acting up. He already has his food, he already has exactly what he needs. He just wants someone to talk to, now. Pallas shuts his eyes for just a second, feigning an extra-long blink.

Whoever I see next is going to be my lunch buddy. He tells himself. No take-backs! No redos!

He opens his eyes. Sure enough, the first person he sees certainly catches his attention. He actually has to look around for another second to try and spot where the person is. They're quite short, but they have white hair - oh, white hair, just like Pallas's own! What are the odds?

He grins, and starts marching right on over to where that person has seated themselves. Boundless confidence radiates off of Pallas as he puts his tray down right beside where the other person is sitting, flashes a smile, and confidently declares-

"Hi there! Can I sit here? You look really interesting!"

Fantastic! A greeting! An ask for permission! A compliment! The holy trinity! He's beaming with pride! This socialization thing is easy so far!

Wednesday, the midpoint of the academic week and a non-training/rest day for Kupo. He'd gotten up at the relatively normal time of 07:00 (as opposed to 04:30 on training days), attended his morning lectures, and now was free for the afternoon. Despite this freedom, Kupo had decided to get lunch at the UAU cafeteria. A product of his great speed, compact size, and cute charm, he often managed to be one of the first in line, so typically had his choice of seat at lunch time. If he wasn't coming out of class with his friends, this typically meant taking a seat and waiting for some extrovert to decide that he was cute and/or weird enough to catch their eye. Most commonly this was the jock or social butterfly type, keen to ask him the same 20 (well-intentioned) questions about his Quirk or family (if they knew his father was a hero). Today, Kupo had so far had nothing of the sort. He enjoyed the interaction and interest in his uniqueness, but sometimes it made him feel like a zoo animal. Maybe today would be peaceful?

Haha, no. That wasn't how this worked. There were never enough tables in the cafeteria for anyone but the outcasts/'freaks' to get their own, so inevitably someone would end up at his. Kupo heard Pallas a good few seconds before he saw him. Heavy footfalls, slowly getting louder as they approached. The boy's sensitive ears were very tuned to the sound of footsteps (and people approaching him in general), so it didn't take much to fully pull his attention. There was definitely someone coming his way. Initially, Kupo looked around to find the source of the steps. Then, he looked up. Ah. Seeing the 8'6" titan in front of him, there was some kind of involuntary fear response for the first couple seconds. The little fox's ears flattened back against his head, muscles tensing as he leaned back in preparation to run if needed. Then, Kupo's conscious thought kicked in. Scared? That was hardly fair or nice, the person hadn't even done anything yet! So, he took a deep breath and regained his warm smile. Just in time for the larger boy to speak up. "Aww, thanks! I get that a lot. Love your outfit by the way, super cool!... Beyond the uniform, I mean, like accessories and stuff!"

Of course, Kupo didn't need to respond to the compliment in kind, but he did genuinely like Pallas' look. Then, tail swaying quickly behind him, Kupo realised he forgot to actually answer the other's question. "Oh, and of course you can sit here! Hope I'm not taking up too much space~" An obvious joke, given his diminuitive size, punctuated by the dog-like boy poking out his tongue.

PALLAS!
