He watched as her usual smile finally came back. It made him happy that he could cheer her up.
Rody couldn’t hold his own smile back as she spoke with more energy this time around. It seemed his words really did mean something to her. “There you go. That’s the mindset you should have.” He smiled bigger. “You’re exactly where you need to be to achieve the best version of yourself. It’s okay to have worries and doubts, but never forget that you will reach your end goal.”
He glanced at her fist before looking back at her, seeing the determination in her eyes. A small laugh came from him. He wasn’t used to the word ‘hero’ being directed towards him. “Yeah, you’re welcome. I’m glad I could help and thanks for... confiding in me.” It was usually hard for Rody to trust others so easily. Thus, it was nice to see that his friend trusted him enough to express her own worries to him.
Ochako's hands turned to fists at her sides, brows furrowing before she shut her eyes. Of course he was right but...it made her feel like...she wasn't enough. "I...can't even make the life of my parents easier. And I don't want to feel like...like I'm not a good heroine." She sighed and opened her eyes. "It's just...I've seen how fragile this whole world is and I wish I could do more, even if I can't do anything for myself."
She put on a sad smile. "I guess that's a silly thought, huh?"

"Gee, thanks. I don't really have a choice in what kinda quirk I get, ya know? At least I can choose to have a nicer personality." Hey, if the explosive blonde wanted to pick at him, Rody would meet him half-way.
"And it's not so bad. I can tell you what's actually annoying, though." Rody knew very well that he was treading dangerous ground by talking like this, but said it all with a smirk anyhow.
―― 〈 ❝ you probably have got the dumbest fuckin’ quirk in the entire world. ❞ katsuki says with a snarl, does he like rody ? fuck no, he don’t. katsuki wasn’t a fan, not like dumb idiot deku and half and half. ❝ doesn’t it get annoyin’ bein an actual fuckin’ bird brain ? ❞ 〉 / × @rody-soul
wut do u luv abt deku ?
"This question is kinda out of the blue, dontcha think, mysterious person?" Rody gave a snarky grin, Pino objecting with a chirp alongside him.
"He's a selfless hero, and a genuinely good person, what else can I say?" Rody wasn't one to be out right with his feelings, especially to a stranger. They shouldn't have expected much from him.

Izuku couldn’t even give a proper response now, his hands coming up to hide his facial features from view with a muffled noise escaping him that was the equivalent of a scream.
“Aw, now you’re hiding your cute face from me; your boyfriend.” How far was he going to push this? Oh, there was no end in sight. It was too fun to tease and Izuku was too cute when he got all red.
ooc - some replies coming tomorrow! Got home on Friday so I’ve been resting and catching up with family.
us-smash:
“Oh well this explains where I ended up.” Not liking that rody had made him sit back down on the bed but his body hurt too much to really protest against this. “Alright let’s be real you didn’t want to help me so why am I here? you could’ve easily taken me back to my home.” Why would Rody waste his energy on him when he made it clear that the brunette wanted nothing to do with him? The villain couldn’t deny he needed to rest and recover, what had done this to him really took it out of him so he didn’t have much choice in the matter of not taking it easy for a while.
Rody huffed at the question, his gaze already tracing each and every wound that he had patched up the night before. They look alright... That was good at least. “My siblings noticed you first. We were already on the way home. I knew I had the necessary stuff to patch you up here.” He responded quick and easily.
The brunette sat down on the corner of the bed, keeping the distance between them. His eyes were on the floor now as Pino fidgeted in her corner. “You’re in bad shape. I doubt you could take care of yourself, anyway... Even if I don’t want you around,” for safety reasons, “I couldn’t just... leave you like that. I’m not that bad of a person.”

The villain’s eyes follow the server as he walks away, an eyebrow raised in the only acknowledgment of the other’s comment.
Maybe he played it just a little stupid (and tremendously dangerous), but Izuku, while accepting said fact, doesn’t really consider himself dense. It’s all going to pay off one way or the other, either by finding out at least some of the answers to his questions, or bringing attention to him. He can use both.
As he bides the time for the other boy’s return, Izuku slowly scans the other patrons’ appearances. Nothing out of ordinary for this kind of place, and nothing his eyes would rest upon for longer than just a moment. Oh well.
Once the server returns, Izuku welcomes him with another smile; a bit different than the one he gave him before. “So,” he begins, “How about you answer my question, and I answer yours in return?” Sounds shady, but then he follows with a quite innocent inquiry: “Why do you think I came here?”
Coming back with the fries, Rody set them down in front of his current patron of interest. The pink bird stayed in her place by the bar.
Hearing the other start, Rody knew something was up. Well, he knew something was up since the guy walked in. He squints a bit, raising an eyebrow at the inquiry. It doesn't hurt to entertain him. "Sure." Rody smiled leaning against the booth, getting 'comfortable.' He thought maybe the question would be straight to the point, and Rody would finally have a clear answer to why he was here. With that expectation, the actual question caught him off-guard for a moment.
But he liked it.
The brunette hummed with a smile. "People come here for lots of different reasons. To generalize, they come here looking for jobs and information. To meet with others they plan to work with." There was a pause as Rody looked him over. "Seeing that you asked me a question like that, I don't think you're here for any jobs. I think you're already on the job, looking for something."
He leaned in a bit from his side of the booth. "Now, should I ask the obvious question and hope you answer me honestly?" He rhetorically asked before asking his real question. "What's your real reason for coming here? I think being honest is in your best interest if you want what you're looking for. But that's just your server speaking."
happy b-day, rody-polly! stay rad, my dude!
"That's a new nickname. It's interesting. Thanks though! I'll keep being myself, haha."

Ochako: *pulls out her old fashioned phone to take a picture*
“Alright. This is acceptable.” He made sure to pose and smile for the camera.
He gave a shrug and a smirk in response. "They're respectful, for the most part. Some exceptions." Guess the curiosity got the best of some individuals. At least they wouldn't steal anything; wouldn't make sense to.
"Of course of course, thank you for joining me." Rody's eyebrows shot up at the bluntness before laughing softly as he glanced down at Pino. "She likes you too." He took a bite of his half of the croissant as Pino made her way even closer to the hero, looking up at her. "You can pet her if you want." Rody mumbled while covering his mouth since he was chewing.
Rody scratched at his cheek, a bit flustered by the praise. "I've got a long journey ahead of me to become one so it means a lot to hear that, Uraraka. Thank you." Studying this kind of stuff was frustrating sometimes, but that's how life was. He would keep pushing through until he reached his dream. Now that he was on this new path in his life, he wasn't getting off it.
"I could get us another one to split. Half of one isn't a very fulfilling snack." Uraraka did sound hungry after all.
Time flew by like the wind. Between classwork and trying to help Rody feel accommodated at UA, Ochako had barely enough time for herself!
But she decided to ask Hatsume for a new upgrade to her uniform and was passing the hallway when she noticed Rody's door to his guest room stood open. Sneaking a peak, she poked her head in but to her surprise he didn't seem to be there. Had he simply forgotten to close the door?
Scratching her head, she continued on her way to Hatsume when her stomach growled. Although she had a small lunch a few hours prior and wasn't very hungry, she still wanted to eat something.
I guess I'll meet Hatsume later.
With that thought, Ochako made her way to the kitchen to see if she could find a snack.
