Yep, that's pretty much it!

[ she's steepling her hands again, the finger pads of one hand pressed against the other's. ]

So you're an underground hero now, Bucky-san? My homeroom teacher is one, too! Most of his hero work is classified, I think, so no one really knows a lot about the stuff he's done.

But... World War 2? Wasn't that ages ago?

Well, my work is still official, and we don't have terms like "underground heroes" but otherwise yeah. That about covers it.

[ He snorts. ]

And yeah, it was a pretty long time ago. I just aged really gracefully. Plus it helps that I was a kid at the time. Probably about your age. [ He nods at Ochako. ]

[well, it's nice that these two have quite a bit in common! she beams at both of them, now that she's had her information confirmed, and makes her way back over to her bed, train fluttering behind her gracefully.]

I don't mean to interrupt, but... are you early risers? Night owls? Just so I know what kind of schedule you two might keep.

[it's been a little bit since she's shared a room, and... anna was not. an early riser.]

I'm pretty sure Aizawa-sensei's work is official, too? Or he wouldn't still have his hero license. He's pretty strict about following the rules, so I can't imagine him breaking the law to be a vigilante or whatever.

[ she's just gonna leave her hero outfit in the closet for now and go plop herself down on her new bed with a small, embarrassed laugh. ]

I like to sleep in when I can... but I'm used to getting up early for school. Aizawa-sensei even made us get up at dawn for our summer training camp. [ the grimace speaks for itself. ] But I'm kind of a heavy sleeper, so I don't think I'll be bothered if you guys get up before me.

[ Bucky still does not understand what Ochako is talking about. Heroes are vigilantes, usually--all this hubbub about licenses and laws is absolutely bananas to him.

But that's not so important now, it seems. Not when there's roommate ground rules to set. ]

I'm used to sleeping and waking up at all hours--anything goes for me. ...but if I get my choice, I'm more of an early morning kind of guy.

Good. Then, we can get up in our own time in the morning. I agree with Bucky—I'm no stranger to odd hours, but I think I fall in the "early bird" category.

[lots to do in the morning!!]

Do either of you need breakfast?

[ surrounded by early birds... rip. but maybe ochako should try to follow their example, and maybe get some extra training in...? (she will not.) ]

Don't worry about me, Elsa-san! I can make breakfast myself if I need something to eat.

[ or, you know, she'll skip the meal entirely, it's fine either way really. ]

I usually have breakfast but I can put something together myself. Or skip, if need be.

[ Look, he's used to all sorts of weird and harsh circumstances, and also he's a gremlin who would consider eating cranberry sauce out of the can and calling it a meal. ]

I usually make too much for just myself. Are you two sure you don't want to join me? It's simple, but filling.

[she raises her eyebrows at both of them. she's doing her best "you don't have to, buuuuuuuut..." face.]

Oh. Well, in that case, I wouldn't mind!

[ she likes sharing breakfast with friends? ]

I guess I'll join you, then.

...alright, fine.

[ he says it like he doesn't want to but secret: he extremely does ]

Wonderful. I'll have you both loving pickled herrings for breakfast in no time flat.

[is it a joke? she says it like a joke. but there's something in it that sounds less jokey? elsa??]

Do you have a favorite breakfast food?

Pickled herrings...?

[ what ]

I wouldn't mind trying something new, though. Um... I usually just have some rice with grilled fish or miso soup, maybe some eggs. Normal stuff.

[ He raises an eyebrow and stares at Elsa like she might be an alien. Just a little bit. ]

Who eats pickled herring for breakfast?

I can go with anything, really, but any kind of eggs and coffee are my usual go-tos.

[elsa's face splits into a smile, and she giggles a little.]

Me, actually. But, no. I won't force it on either of you. I'll make something you can both enjoy—I promise. Thank you for letting me know your favorites—I'd like to give it a try.

Now, then. Who's first for the shower?

That’s… a kind of fish, right?

[ she’s not entirely sure but fish is okay at breakfast, so???? ]

I like taking showers at night more than in the morning, so either of you can have first dibs!

Trust me, I like pickled herring just fine, it's just not a morning food. But hey, if you wanna eat dinner for breakfast, I'm not gonna stop you.

...I take showers whenever's convenient.

[ translation: he's used to roughing it so often that showering is not a part of his daily routine. He just...does it when he gets the chance. ]

It's a kind of fish—but for me, it is a morning food. Or maybe it's an every time food? Hmm. [time to eat some all day and find out!!

anyway, elsa made up her mind—and indicates the towels.]

Then we can all shower in whatever order we like—just make sure we all hang up and air out our towels. The last thing we want in this small room is mildew—right?

[right.]

I'll get up, shower, and practice my non-pickled-herring breakfast food skills for both of you. Sound like a deal?

Plenty of people eat breakfast for dinner - why not the other way around?

[ interesting choice though, elsa. ]

Sounds good to me! It's a lot like living in the dorms at school.

[ and then they got new roomies next week ]
