[ and then ochako made a mental note to never accept food from lup again, just in case. ]

...I guess I wouldn't really know what a real villain would say or do?

[ she's still in training for this for a reason ]

[evocationary]

[ i'm crying she'll be so offended ]

A - real villain, what. Are you, uh - are you one of those hero types?

[infreefall]

I... am a hero in training.

[ the words don't come as easily as they would have, say, three days ago. funny how that works, huh? ]

...Though I don't really feel like one, right now.

[evocationary]

Nobody does.

[ she take a bite of her cookie. ] Pretty terrible way to start your career, huh.

[infreefall]

[ haha! interesting choice of words.

she has nothing much to say to that. but if lup's watching, she might have seen how ochako's lip trembled, or the way her brow knit in distress, right before she turns away to try to hide it. ]

[evocationary]

[ ah, fuck

what do you do with sad teenagers ]

... Uh - ssss... sorry? [ good try ]

[infreefall]

[ she's quiet for a long moment, before turning back to lup with a smile. it's a bit wobbly, maybe, but ochako holds onto it like a lifeline. ]

No, you're right. I just... have to find a way to make it right, somehow. Guess we all do, huh?

[evocationary]

Yeah. For sure.

It's not just a you thing. All of us have to do better. [ she rubs at her neck. ] Don't just let me running my mouth get you down.
