That... Was not the response Freja was expecting. Holy crap she was bad at reading this woman! Wasn't she the type that loved to fight others? To be met with a challenger that could match her in battle? Was that really presumptuous of Freja? Oh my god, how was the violent vigilante making her feel bad with nothing but cold silence and a few choice words. ''W-Well, uh..'' Just like that her confidence crumbled in a matter of seconds. ''..I'd be able to challenge you again, and give you more of a challenge.'' Yeah, this pitch was starting to sound terrible even to herself. ''H-Hey! It's not like you're weak!'' She protested, her loss to Grinta was totally a valid one, even if fighting wasn't her main field of expertise. So, she was a tinkerer? That thing Freja saw flying upwards, her coat or whatever it was, was that something Grinta had tinkered herself? Also, what was this about crawling into bed and crying? Freja didn't cry that easily!! The nerve.. She closed her eyes as her forehead was jabbed, flinching and preparing for another flick that never came. ''Easy for you to say, you actually have a quirk. People with quirks naturally have something they gravitate towards, something they're really good at. That's why I'm saying I'll train and I'll beat you.. It'll be proof that I'm improving.'' She grumbled. She didn't even want to have a discussion, she had hoped her proposal would suffice and Grinta would let her leave. As much as she talked back, the hero student was still scared of the vigilante. ''...Why were you beating those guys up?'' A question Freja should have asked long ago. Jackie Maradona

She felt relieved when he okayed her using her bat for practice. ''Of course! I wouldn't do anything to disrespect your sensei.'' She bowed her head politely. So no grappling hook surprises, but even just being able to hold her bat was better than having to substitute it for something like a wooden sword. It was hard to explain, even though she was good at fighting with a lot of different blunt weapons, when it came down to it, none of them felt as right as her own. Like other weapons threw off her balance ever so slightly. Following him to the center of the room she brandished her bat. ''..Sure.'' She thought back to how Farrin posed for his boxing style. Her pose was fairly standard but once she started swinging at the air and built up momentum, it was clear that Freja's method of fighting was efficient and technical, and yet it wasn't very professional. It was obvious where this type of fighting had been fostered. It was on the streets of the city, fighting gangs and whoever else came her way ever since her early to mid teens. Some pro heroes might even find it appalling if they didn't look past her style and see her potential. The stigma went as far as her weapon of choice, the bat. A weapon already carrying a lot of negative connotations. Still, at the end of the day it was her weapon of choice. Without having used her weapon's hidden mechanism she ended by striking a brief pose, panting lightly. ''Like that?'' She smirked up at Sho. Shō Matsui

Her eyes lit up when Sumi approached. She was so effortlessly stylish, like no matter what she wore she could just make it work and come off as the coolest chick in whichever social situation she found herself in. ''Right!'' She laughed back, still a bit embarrassed at just how drunk she had gotten during the party. She didn't remember if Sumi was there to support her at the time, but she definitely remembered that she had thrown up into one of the many toilets onboard the treasure hunt yacht. ''Thank you for hosting that, it was a lot of fun. I hope I wasn't too much trouble on you and your staff..'' She smiled, putting her hands behind her back. ''M-Me?'' She leaned forward slightly and turned to look through the window to the place. ''Never actually! I'm a karaoke noob, think you can show me the ropes?'' She put her hands together in a little, silent prayer as she flashed an apologetic smile. ''How about you, have you done a lot of karaoke?'' She bowed her head politely as Sumi opened the door for her, looking this way and that as she took in as many sights as possible before walking up to the front desk. ''Bottle service?'' She looked back at Sumi, ''like selling alcohol?'' She turned back to the guy behind the desk. ''Yes, a room for us, please!'' She pointed between Sumi and herself. As they were led to their room Freja broke the silence. ''I wish we had more of this where I'm from, but it's so rare that you see karaoke places back home.'' She could maybe count on one hand how many she had seen in Copenhagen and even then that paled in comparison to how it was run in Japan. Eventually they arrived in a room with a couple of couches, a table in the middle and of course the karaoke screen with mics and everything to get them started on picking their songs. ''Oh, look!'' She scooped a little menu off the table. ''They serve snacks and drinks.'' She waved it back and forth before handing it to Sumi. ''What do you want? I'm thinking a regular beer for me.''Sumi Okita

''Yeah..'' She lowered her gaze, looking down at her own lap. When she was a kid she had been bullied for being essentially quirkless, but she always imagined that once she grew older everything would work out. That adults were beyond discriminating on each other and valued the person more than the power. Unfortunately, that hadn't been the case for Freja's own lived experiences. ''You used to have a quirk too, sensei?'' She looked up, blinking her eyes and blushing ever so slightly as she realized she had let her own secret slip. That Freja too, technically hadn't always been quirkless. ''Y-Yeah, that's okay.. I'm working hard at it in the meantime!'' She forced a smile, Futaba's soft smile was so comforting, she was glad she had decided to speak to her about this. It wasn't that she didn't talk to her other teachers, it was more like Freja felt like they didn't understand. As good as their intentions were, most heroes barely went a week without using their precious powers. They could never understand what being inadequate felt like. ''From the University of Tokyo, that's quite prestigious isn't it?'' It was no surprise to hear that Futaba was a genius. ''You work.. Two jobs?'' She somehow didn't anticipate that however. A job at UAU wasn't enough? Rents out here had to be crazy expensive then. ''Oh, thank you sensei, I-I'll keep working at it. The biggest problem is... I don't think I'm good at anything else, but I can't exactly be paid to be a hero yet, not for another few years, so I need to find a job that a quirkless person can do.''Futaba Tamashiro

Even the seemingly invincible Farrin had gotten hurt. This overgrown gator was seriously bad news. They were out in the middle of nowhere so the idea of anyone coming to save them wasn't something they could hitch their fighting on. Survival alone wouldn't be good enough, not unless it meant beating him back for good. Between Farrin's leg and her broken hand they were already set back by quite a bit. ''Th-That time?'' Right, the acceleration field, the speed boost. Wherever would she be if it wasn't for Farrin? ''Okay!'' She steeled herself, giving her bat a casual swing. She couldn't hit as hard with one hand, but perhaps her movements being accelerated could make up for that fact? She winced as the electrical shot kicked in, but she was less startled than the first time. ''Let's end this quick.'' Before Farrin's bleeding got any worse, or before either of them took more hits. ''You can share your power? Interesting. ~'' The gator cackled as he emerged fully from the ground, just in time for Freja to charge at him. Leaping into the air, she tried to strike his wrist, but her bat quickly phased through him again. ''What the hell?'' She muttered, staring at the villain in disbelief. ''To think that you're the target. How pathetic.'' He tried to swat Freja away with his hand, but thanks to the acceleration she moved around it with ease. Using the added speed boost she kicked the villain as hard as she could in the back of his heel, causing him to groan in pain and stagger just a little bit for Farrin. ''Farrin!'' She called out, hoping he had some kind of super awesome attack ready. Farrin

''I just don't hang around a lot of people.'' She pouted, already taking big sips from her drink as she looked back at them. ''I don't go around telling my secret to just anyone. Aside from you, one... two other people know.'' One of them, Miroru, she had told herself and Thea, well, that was never planned, but she couldn't exactly take it back now that Thea had read her memories. ''No I'm sure you keep your room plenty clean.'' She grinned, teasing them with a condescending shoulder pat. ''Not if it was a hidden Capybara quirk.'' She added, whatever that meant. ''You raise a good point.'' She took another big sip, almost finishing her own drink. ''In all the time I've known you, which isn't that long, but that goes for everyone here at school. My point is, I've never heard you slip up about any secrets, whether they're other people's secrets or your own. You really are the secretive type.'' Speaking of secrets, Freja sighed as she finished her drink. ''Really? So your quirk definitely gives you some special healing factor.'' She smirked, ''my hands are a lot better. I can actually hold a pen or a cup now without feeling like my hands will fall off.'' She opened and closed the palm of her hand, as if to show that they were mostly fine now. ''I'm gonna pick my bat up again next week. Get back on the grind.'' She pushed herself off the bed and walked over to pour herself another drink. ''Okay, one more.. One more and I'll be ready.'' Would she? She felt terribly anxious as she downed the entire second drink in one go, staggering a bit as she breathed out and put her glass down. Sauntering over to the bed she sat back down. ''I'll go first, I guess.'' She wasn't looking at Zen at all, her eyes focused on the floor as she tried to gather her thoughts. ''I wasn't born quirkless.'' She left a pause for a moment as she built up the courage to look up at Zen. ''I also wasn't born as Freja Helt. My name was Elias.'' She leaned over to reach under her bed to retrieve a little box, inside it there was a printed photo of the Helt siblings, which she handed to Zenkai. The photo was about six years old, showing a cheery, black-haired Freja in her early teens next to a moody, gray-haired Elias. ''That's me next to Freja. The original Freja.'' There was a bitter sort of sadness in her voice. ''She was always the good sibling, I was sort of the black sheep of the family.'' She smirked, the failure, really. ''My sister could produce flames, and while the readings showed I had a quirk, no one was able to identify how it worked. I was functionally quirkless.''''Freja always wanted to become a hero and study at UAU, so we took a lot of Japanese lessons together and a few trips over here.'' The smirk quickly faded, her eyes growing cold and distant as she thought back to that fateful day. ''One day, we were caught in a villain attack. We both died surrounded by fire.'' She lowered her gaze to look at the floor again. She still couldn't stand fire to this day. ''The last thing I saw before I died was my sister fading away.'' She could feel the tears gather in her eyes as her chest started hurting. ''Or so I thought... The next thing I remember woke up in her body.'' A few stray tears rolled down her cheeks. ''It was my quirk, 'Curse'. It activated when I died. Now, all traces of it are gone, all but the scars it left in here.'' She gave her temple a tap with her index finger. ''My family all think Elias died and Freja survived.'' It was the simplest explanation after all. ''That due to shock I think I'm Elias. I attended my own funeral.'' She curled into herself a bit. The thought of telling Zen all this had been so scary and yet, now that they were here she was spilling everything. ''That was almost five years ago.''''For a while I actually thought my sister had died and it was just me in here.'' She sniffled, wiping tears away with the sleeve of her hoodie. ''Do you know Thea? She helped me figure out that wasn't the case.'' She looked up at Zenkai, mustering a weak smile for the first time in a while. ''Apparently we're fusing. Elias and Freja, I mean.. I have her memories and I have his memories. It's comforting, but I'm also terrified.'' She sighed and looked over at her glass. ''Am I Freja, or am I Elias?'' Her hand clenched the sheet of her bed firmly. ''If I was taken apart and reassembled again, would there even be a fraction of me left? How long is my second life, since it was granted by a quirk I could probably just drop dead one day...'' She felt more tears coming on, but quickly wiped them away as she stood up. ''Anyway! There! That's my stupid secret.'' Her voice was a bit shaky as she went to get more alcohol. ''I've trauma-dumped enough on you.'' She poured herself another glass, unable to look Zen in the eye as she asked her next question. ''If you feel differently about me now I understand. You said you'd respect me no matter what it was, but no hard feelings if you want to take that back.''Zenkai Hatake

No one seemed to be taking Freja up on the offer of shots, at least at first. Oh well, no harm in just doing a few herself. After her fifth shot Freja squinted as another boat seemed to pull up. She glancing between Thea's yacht and her empty shot glass for what felt like a solid minute until she saw Miroru and Thea. ''Hi Miroru! Shots!'' She giggled, holding up another shot glass before downing it. ''You too, Thea! Drink- drink!'' Okay, so maybe she was getting drunk a little too fast, but she wasn't about to stop now that she was having such a good time. Her eyes lit up when she saw two of her roomies. ''Yunagi, is that you?'' Then she burst out laughing when Emi called her name. ''You're soooo drunk- here have sshome more!'' Before she could hand Emi a drink the girl was already in Jun's arms, which made her laugh even more. ''Just the shots!'' She called out to Jack, still hyping up the shots like a merchant trying to sell sand in the Sahara. It didn't help that she was drinking a lot of them herself too. ''Kenta, Kenta!'' She giggled trying to hand him a shot as well. ''You're also our drinking buddiesh! Right?'' She looked up at Zen. ''Yeah shoOoooOots!'' She didn't expect to suddenly end up on Zenkai's shoulders, but this gave her the perfect overview of everyone at the party. ''Rat? Where-'' She barely finished uttering the word before she found herself holding on for dear life as Zenkai charged ahead. ''Wh-What was that?'' She hiccupped, putting a hand up over her eyes as she looked out at something Zenkai had just tossed. ''Are you skipping stones?''When Sumi suddenly Dragon Ball teleported to another location, how did that woman move so fast?! Freja found herself cheering loudly for their yacht party hostess. ''Nice to meet youuu!'' She shouted through the cheers, swaying with her arms over her head. ''Where is the bow?'' She looked around frantically before simply following the lights. When the giant yacht emerged, somehow bigger than the one they were on and the one Thea and Miroru arrived on??? All Freja could do was sit there speechless, eventually slipping down from Zenkai's shoulders again, landing not-so-elegantly as she went looking for another drink. She was still paying attention to Sumi's speech, mostly cheering for more bars as she had another dark n' stormy poured. ''A number? WAH-'' She exclaimed, looking at her hand and turning it this way and that as if she could identify how Sumi had pulled this magic trick. ''Lucky number seven.'' She smiled confidently as she grabbed her drink and then almost immediately spilled it as she went out to the larger group. ''Seven!'' She waved at Sumi, ''that's us-'' she realized it was just her standing here and then called out. ''Seven gang over here!'' holding her numbered hand raised above her head as she took a big sip of her drink. TEAM 2Sumi OkitaNadeshiko KoujiMarlene Lovechild

The patter of rain around them would be calming to Freja on any other day. Here, it only served to accentuate the silence, making Grinta all the more intimidating when she just looked back at her and didn't say a word. Her life was entirely dependent on whether this villain would let her live or not and that was a scary thought. No, Grinta wasn't a villain, was she? There was no way she could be, if she was truly a villain wouldn't she just have taken Freja out without saying a word? She had more than proven she could, but instead she was humoring her, at least for now. ''..Do what?'' She asked, before letting out an ''ow!'' as the space between her eyes were flicked. Rubbing the spot where she was flicked she looked back at Grinta, focusing hard to make sure she caught every word she said. It wasn't her fault her accent was so hard to understand! Calling Freja out on just attacking her based on presumptions, she couldn't really make a comeback there, she was right, she had just assumed she was a villain. ''N-No! But what you're doing here is still illegal.'' She winced a bit, still holding her damaged hand close. ''Grinta.'' Not a name she had heard before. Definitely not her real one either, but that didn't matter. ''I'm Freja.'' She moved for the first time in a while, adjusting her position to sit on her knees. ''I have no delusions about being able to beat you now.'' It was time for her final gambit. ''But if you give me a month, I can definitely surpass you.'' She was trying to sound tough, but her voice was wavering. Still, an offer for a much more satisfying rematch one day, maybe that would satisfy the vigilante? Jackie Maradona

She perked up when Zenkai entered her room. First guest in ages. First drinking guest period. She felt warmth rush into her cheeks when he mentioned the state of the clean room and why she might have cleaned. ''I-It's not every day I have guests over!'' She crossed her arms and turned her head away. She hated that their taunting and teasing was so effective at making her flustered. ''Besides, you'd do the same for me if I was coming over to your room.'' She scooched out of bed, contemplating what to even drink. ''I bought a little bit of everything, I wasn't sure what you like and some people get very particular about their drinks.'' She gestured to the table containing all the bottles, before walking towards it herself. ''Cute tank top by the way, do you like capybaras?'' She poured herself a strong whiskey, knowing full well that the anxiety she was feeling would disappear the sooner she got tipsy. If Zen let her know what they wanted, she would pour something for them too and hand them their drink. ''Maybe it's related to your quirk? You're actually a capybara, aren't you?'' She grinned, turning around with her drink in hand. Seeing Zen enter as themself was honestly a huge relief. That they hadn't dressed up in anything fancy. Even though they hadn't talked about dress code or anything like that, it was nice to know they were on the same wavelength to just go with whatever felt comfortable and homey. It was part of why if you could get the people together for it, Freja vastly preferred private dorm or house parties over hitting up clubs in the city. Way less pressure to look great, not to mention there were strangers and creeps in the cities and that wasn't the case at parties where you mostly knew everyone. ''How are you feeling?'' She glanced down at her own hands, still bandaged from the fire incident, but at least not hurting anymore. ''You got burnt a lot worse than me.'' It wasn't that the lack of dressing up was a disrespect in her mind. If anything, it was a signal that she trusted Zen enough that she could just be herself and not have to keep up appearances around them. Zenkai Hatake

Ever since the trials of the Ikigai festival where she had to wear a yukata for the first time, Freja had gotten a little more confident about wearing dresses in public. She had worn one to Sumi's yacht party as well, and she was wearing one now. Right in the middle of Tokyo of all places. She had gone for a simple gray dress. She liked the look of it both because it matched her hair, but also because it reminded her of Sumi's cigarette smoking. She was still wearing flat shoes, there was no way she could master high heels just like that and besides, she was always one of the tallest people in the room and heels just made her look like even more of a tower. With her handbag over one shoulder and her phone in the other, Freja stood outside the karaoke place they were meeting up at. She wasn't a smoker herself, but she figured Sumi might want a cigarette before they headed in. Maybe they were allowed to smoke inside? She hadn't checked and it wasn't like she went to karaoke often. Why was she even here? What if she bombed her singing and made a fool of herself in front of Sumi? A quick glance inside through the store window told her they sold alcohol, her way to gain confidence in times of trouble! Now all she had to do was wait for Sumi to arrive. Looking back down at her phone she reminisced about the yacht party, or the parts she could remember. She never expected to get that drunk, but she had to admit she really had gotten carried away. How different would it be to hang out with Sumi when they weren't going to get insanely drunk? Sumi Okita

''Wouldn't that be the dream?'' She chuckled. ''I've got enough to work with figuring this one out.'' She gave her BBB a trusty pat. Even though she had fought with bats for so many years there was always something that needed adjusting when it came to new weaponry. ''I see.. Isn't that confusing sometimes? Do you hear or see things around you as slowed down?'' She was genuinely curious given she had only experienced a little bit of what his quirk was like. It was wild that she even could experience it in the first place. The gator groaned as Farrin's kick connected, even making the man stagger despite the size difference between him and Farrin. ''Nice one.'' He grinned wickedly, enjoying himself to a degree Freja found disturbing. Still, she was proud that Farrin had managed to land a hit on him and now it was her turn. The villain made no attempt to keep her from her bat, could it be he was underestimating her, or simply didn't know that she was stronger with it? Sliding into range, Freja scooped up her bat with her one good hand and immediately swung for the giant's heel. However, the bat ended up phasing right through him, as if she had completely whiffed her swing. ''You can still go?'' He looked over his shoulder before attempting to whip Freja into the lake with his tail, but she just narrowly managed to avoid it. ''He's one of The Spiders! He's a hired assassin!'' She called out to Farrin, knowing that it provided little context, but hoping that it gave him enough to work with. These guys weren't just your average villain goon. ''Who told you that, girl? Was it those pesky Hummingbirds?'' As if he was standing in quicksand, the gator villain started sinking into the ground once more, giving Farrin and Freja a moment to catch their breath. Freja used this time to run towards Farrin. ''I-I don't think he's working with anyone. That's not their style..'' She panted, her bat aimed at the ground as she waited for any little sign of movement. Suddenly, the villain's snout would poke through the ground, his teeth surrounding Farrin as he tried to snap at him once more, closing his maw around him like a bear trap. ''Give me more to chew on, boy.''Farrin

Freja swallowed when she saw the tray Hebiru was carrying over. Hopefully she wasn't going to use any needles on her. Needles were the absolute worst. When she told Freja it might hurt, the gray-haired student immediately closed her eyes and looked away, very clearly tensing up in her shoulders. ''Ow, ow!'' It was still stinging, but not as much as Freja thought it would. Was it because Shirei was here? Opening her eyes to look at her, Freja couldn't help but find her presence strangely comforting. ''Am I going to be okay?'' Her open wound wasn't lethal, was it? Oh no what if she only had two hours left to live. ''W-We're just friends! He showed me his fighting style, he's really nice..'' She blushed at even just the slightest implication that they might be something more. Farrin was a bro! She didn't see him that way at all. Besides, he already had a girlfriend who he seemed to care about a lot. ''Don't be, it sucks!'' She winced as to not scream her pain out then and there. ''I don't want to run into anymore villains until I'm a pro hero..''''T-That was just the first arm?'' She whined, clearly holding back tears. ''Stitches?'' Her face turned pale. Considering the damage she had taken maybe she should count herself lucky. ''As long as I don't fall behind on school.'' She sighed. The last thing someone like her needed was another setback when she was already lacking behind. ''That's pretty much what happened. Farrin and I were going to the store when some weird-looking guys in bird masks came out of this murder of crows. Then they started attacking us. Farrin didn't get that hurt, so he rushed me back here since we were pretty close to the school.''Yanai Hebiru

And then... The stage was set. Alcohol? Check. She had bought beer, wine, tequila naturally... Was she going a little overkill? Well, if her and Zenkai were going to get drunk the last thing she wanted them to experience was getting drunk on something they didn't find tasty and she didn't exactly know what their favorite beverage of choice was since they were still a fairly new drinker. Still, she didn't mind spending a little extra just to make sure that was covered. Any alcohol they didn't drink tonight she could always bring to future parties after all. No roomies? Check. The absolute last thing she needed was to get incredibly drunk and spill her secret to a whole group of people, that would be a nightmare way to tell everyone. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell them either, she just had to find the way to. Somehow, the way she was going to tell Zenkai was by getting drunk. Unlike at the yacht party, Freja at chosen to settle for much more casual clothes this time, a big comfy gray hoodie and soft pajamas pants. Her hands were still wrapped in white bandages from the fire incident, but they weren't hurting nearly as bad anymore. She was pacing this way and that as she waited for her guest to arrive. Was her room clean enough? She checked, double checked, triple checked. She rarely had anyone over to her room and neither of her 3 roommates really counted in her mind, since they already lived with her. Hopefully it wasn't going to be too plain either, a pretty standard room with some band posters and plants that she liked to take care of. Her desk was a decent size for her to study at, but to someone like Zenkai it was probably a tad small. Her bed? Memory foam mattress of course, couldn't sleep without it and lord knows if there was anywhere a good night's sleep helped, it was at UAU when you spent all day, every day training. It was already getting dark outside, but her windowsill was lit up with a few electric candles. She sat down on her bed, her stomach hurting at the thought of having to share the secret. She wasn't even sure why when Zen had already reassured her they would respect her no matter what. Hopefully she could get really drunk before she would have to spill it. ''But not too drunk to forget about his quirk.'' She muttered to herself as she stared at her and Zenkai's DMs, reading over the text she had sent earlier again and again in a vain attempt to find courage and comfort in it. Zenkai Hatake

Freja was so out of it that she didn't even notice or hear Zenkai when they first woke up. She was just staring blankly into nothing, thinking about the fire and everything that transpired. Somehow, even though they were safe, it was as if she could still feel the burning rage of the flames against her skin. Of course her mummy-bandaged hands still hurt like hell too, although she couldn't complain when she looked at Zenkai. They had risked everything to get them both to safety and definitely paid a heavier price for it. Her eyes lit up a bit as she looked up at the giant when he had finally awoken and laid on his side. ''W-What are you talking about all of a sudden?!'' She was pretty much immediately flustered, she would definitely have given him a light jab if the both of them weren't so beat up. Maybe she should save it for later when they were drinking? The thing about the raccoons made her laugh. ''You say the dumbest things sometimes!'' She was really glad he was still around to say those dumb things to her. ''You'd freak out so bad if I was actually three raccoons all along.'' She grinned, pointing a finger at him. ''Besides, you raise a valid point. I still need to hear about your quirk too.'' She was grinning up until he started coughing. She wanted to reach out, but knew it was probably better not to touch him considering how extensively Zenkai got burnt. ''..Are you okay? Don't push yourself too hard.''Then she was right back to being flustered. Direct compliments were absolutely brutal, Elias had never really been acknowledged by strangers before in his past life, so being called cute now? He had no way to know how to handle it! Even so, was it really true? Was Freja cuter when she was happy and smiling? To be honest, moping around had been her default for years. It was hard not to given her life's circumstances taking such a sharp turn. ''O-Only someone like you could smile right away after all that! I need time to mope!'' She crossed her arms across her chest and turned her nose up as she pouted. Eventually though, she couldn't help but break into a smirk. ''I'm glad you're okay.''Zenkai Hatake

Auden had such a particular aura about them. She couldn't describe it, but she knew they were a strong person, even if they weren't the most buff student in this cafeteria. Maybe it was the way they carried themself. ''Auden Verchetty?'' She pondered for a moment. ''Your last name sounds familiar somehow. Are you from Europe?'' There was no way a name like that wasn't going to stand out in Japan, especially to someone like Freja who had moved here very recently. ''Then we'll probably see each other in class.'' She smirked. ''That's a great attitude to have!'' She let out a small chuckle, they said it so boldly too, she didn't doubt for a second that Auden really meant it, that it really would be their loss if they didn't like them. ''I appreciate it.'' Part of her felt like she was a burden, but Auden hadn't told her to fuck off yet, so it couldn't be all bad. If their goal was to genuinely help people, she didn't want to just trample all over that because of her own insecurities either. ''Listen, uh..'' She wasn't sure how to ask what she wanted to next. It was a bit awkward, or at least it potentially was. ''I've been wondering, what are your pronouns?'' It had been in the back of her mind and she simply couldn't tell from their androgynous expression! Either way she was cool with their answer, she just didn't want it to upset Auden, since she knew some people didn't like being perceived as androgynous, for whatever bigoted reason. Auden
