[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.
[ 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.
[ 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.
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.
[ 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.

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

[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.

[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?]

[ 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. ]

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