[ She does, actually. A precious honor she'll cherish. (And not abuse.) ]

Put up with you, please. Until now I've dumped all my problems in your lap -- which I never apologized properly for, so. I'm sorry, Katsuki. You aren't some sounding board for me to vent all over.

But even if that hadn't happened, it's the least I can do for someone I consider a friend. I just want you to be okay. Both of you.

[katsuking]

I... I don't mind it if it's from a friend.

[She doesn't have to apologize for venting to him.. maybe it was a bit much the first time, but he's also understanding now of why she was so upset in the first place so he has no hard feelings over that, either.]

But I appreciate the apology. And I appreciate the advice.

[Now, Katsuki will very gently reach to push Saya off of him.]

You're... a really nice person, Saya. You'd make a good Hero.

[sangreine]

[ She releases him and takes a step backwards. And then he says that about being a hero and she feels incredibly sick, but she draws a breath and tries not to think about it. He means it as a compliment, and she's honored that he thinks so. Even if he's completely wrong. ]

Thank you. I'm glad if I helped. I can't promise I'll always have good advice, but you're always welcome to talk to me if you need to.

[katsuking]

I will.

[Now that he's free, he can wipe his face with his sleeves properly as he's starting to calm down.]

I dunno if this is weird.... but you kinda remind me of my mom. But you're not an asshole like she is, and you actually listen to me when I have a problem instead of blaming me for having it in the first place.

[sangreine]

[ That makes her smile, even though it is a little weird. But then her experience of parent figures has been even less positive than his, by the sound of it. ]

So I remind you of her, only totally different. Gotcha.

But I get what you mean, I think. I'm glad.

[katsuking]

Alright, let me retract my statement. You remind me of her because you're also an asshole.

[That teasing gets her a grumpy little response, but he's glad at least that she understands what he means.]

But... still not as much as her.

[sangreine]

[ She chuckles, trying to keep it light and not get into how badly she wishes Katsuki had a better mom. He deserved a better mom than it sounds like he had. ]

I'll take "less of an asshole" as the compliment it is.

Although if you've got an aunt or a teacher or someone who's only moderately an asshole I'll take that comparison with no lip. I might have a hard time beating you up if I think of myself as anything like a mom.

[katsuking]

I ain't saying I think of you as a mom, and you shouldn't either because I already got one! It's just nice sometimes when you miss home and people remind you of it, that's all!

[He huffs, but he appreciates the conversation turning into something a bit lighter. Something he can get angry about even if it's mostly for show.]

But... maybe you're more like a really annoying, bossy older sister. I know someone who's nee-chan can act like you sometimes, too, and she's also annoying.

[sangreine]

[ Saya has to swallow past a lump in her throat. Lighter, she's keeping it lighter, and the last person who called her his older sister is not a light topic. Saya really wouldn't know what it's like to think of home and not feel sick. ]

[ The comparison makes her happy equally as much as it reminds her of Riku, though. In her life, that's a win. ]

Yeah, older sister types can be like that. I'll work on it... maybe. Or maybe I'll be even more annoying. I guess time will tell.

[katsuking]

Knowing you? Probably the latter.

[That does get a little smirk from him... maybe she's cheering him up a bit.]

I.. guess I'll think of how to message Izuku tomorrow. I need to get some fucking sleep or I'll go crazy.

[His heart feels a little bit at ease, so maybe he'll get more than just a couple of hours tonight?]

[sangreine]

I guess you'd better. You look like shit.

[ She doesn't even try to keep a straight face. (He does in fact look awful but her tone is absolutely sarcastic.) ]

Go on, get your beauty rest. I'll see myself out. Message me when you're ready to get your ass kicked again.

[ She gives him a winning smile and makes herself scarce. ]

[katsuking]

Yeah, yeah. Next time maybe you won't be so lucky, old lady!

[Katsuki will call out behind her, just to get the last word in.]
