t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began.Hm! Well, he definitely still has no idea what might have startled him, but if Minato isn't worried about it, then why should Kyrie be? There are about a dozen more important things here.
"I'm glad to see you, too." His expression softens, because he really does mean it. "It would have been awful if even you had disappeared..."
But he's still smiling! He's still determined! Fight him, Chroma!!
"You weren't hurt at all, were you? In the forest?"

[There's nothing worse than getting Shouto out of danger, only to realize he isn't out of danger after all.]
Think, think..there has to be a solution here, Izuku. [He mutters to himself in frustration, even as he keeps a hold of Shouto to stop him from climbing out of the boat. The books had mentioned a distraction, something to draw attention away from the siren song. But what could--] Oh. [Izuku breathes out, suddenly getting an idea. He has no clue if it'll work, but anything is worth a shot now.]
Shouto. [Izuku says again, but this time he cups Shouto's face in his hands and leans in for a kiss.]

Shouto. [Izuku says again, but this time he cups Shouto's face in his hands and leans in for a kiss.]
[There were a lot of options here, but Izuku's chosen the one that is the least worrying. Which is to say, Shouto seems dazed for a moment or two. Then he's wrapping his arms around Izuku and deepening the kiss before pulling away. Just enough so he can see Izuku's whole face.]
It's really you? [He sounds awed.]
It's really you? [He sounds awed.]
It's really me. [He looks like he's about two seconds from bursting into relieved tears, but he beams and throws his arms around Shouto now.]
I'm so glad you're safe! [Izuku presses his face into Shouto's shoulder now, feeling a good chunk of the tension he's held through the week finally melt away.] I...I was really worried.

[Even if a tear or two (or more) escapes him, Izuku quickly shakes his head in denial.]
It wasn't your fault. [Finally, he pulls away, reminding himself that he can hold Shouto close as long as he likes after everything else is taken care of.] Are you injured anywhere? Should I call a healer?
[Without even waiting for an answer, Izuku looks him over, brows creased in worry.]

[Sounds like himself and Akechi, though probably (probably?) not as potentially fatal.]
Alright. I'll keep that in mind.
[For the sake of his friends, he'll keep his chin up. He'll try to believe in himself too, as much as they believe in him.]
Why did your friend hate that?

[ hm, how does he best answer that. ]
I was new, in this circle of friends. I was also the youngest; he was one of the older ones. I suppose, as with anyone new, I had to prove that I was worthy of being there. Does that make sense?
When nobody else but one person knows anything about you, it becomes imperative that you make your mark. I have talent and a strong will on my side, and I can be very stubborn. So was he. We had very different ideas of what it meant to fit in a group; thus, our personalities clashed. But we both cared about the same group of people. We both wanted the same things. That is indisputable, and on that, we were both very dedicated to.

...So you're simply in tune with the power in other words? [ that makes a certain sense to her if so. her seal works the same. ] Well regardless, it's a great gift. Such healing magic is rare, so I thank you greatly.
I will be now. [ she gives him a smile, mustering up some confidence into it, and gives him a gentle pat on the shoulder. ] Do be careful. And if it becomes too much, there's no shame in retreat.
Yes, though it's hard to explain. [ she brings a hand to her cheek, her fingers lightly rubbing the skin in contemplation of her wording. ] We were all injured by the sirens from our kidnappings, but we also felt... it was as though we were feeling ill from a force, not from a cold or any sort of disease. Or so I felt.
Ahaha - wouldn't that be just the perfect mood boost. Too bad they're a cowardly lot. Can't quite face us without their singing.
[ it'd make anyone feel better right about now. a shame they're all hiding away. ]

You’re usually mean. And you have this weird superiority complex, I guess.
[Though that doesn’t seem to be the case at the moment.]
Are you sure you didn’t hit your head or something?

I'm sure they're looking for us.
[Akira looks out across the sea, eyes searching the horizon. He can just see Chroma in the distance, a speck of land stretching out at the edge of the world. He wonders if anyone is looking at this island.]
We'll just have to stay safe for now.

"I'm... mean?"
He's forgotten all about wanting to go anywhere at this point, genuine distress written in the crease of his brow and the tone of his voice. That definitely doesn't sound like him?? It could be a joke, but she sure doesn't seem like she's joking... And anyway, this would make for a pretty shitty joke, wouldn't it?
He stops to think--really think--and ultimately ends up shaking his head in frustration.
"There was this... loud noise, when I woke up. Like a bubble bursting." But hey, how about we go back to that part where he was mean?? Hello?? He hates this?? "Hey, Miss Shiho, are you sure about all that...?"

[ dextera is just trying to make sense of this. what an innocent question—it’s too bad dextera isn’t especially good at making himself smile, even with all that he has to smile about, though he does try to lower the intensity of his expression. ]
…
[ what does he say? he opens kyrie’s palm, instead trying his old method of communication in lieu of signing. hopefully kyrie can spell… ]
K-Y-R-I-E?

You mean like those power-sealing monster things of yours?
Ah. Underground?
[ dextera nods, quickly adding his own possibilities to flesh out michael’s research so far. ]
Like… Hades. And Persephone. Kidnapped to the Underworld.
[ he doesn’t know if religion counts as folklore by the standards of the town, even when it’s something that’s been absorbed into common mythology these days, but it’s possible that people were drawn away by a person, not creatures. ]

[It's nowhere near as bad as it could've been--Izuku's thankful for that. With a soft sigh, he releases even more of the tension he's been holding, and then smiles at him.]
I'll take care of you when we're home. For now... [His hand lingers on Shouto's cheek before he drops it and stands up, swaying just a little on his feet.] We need to help the others fight the sirens off.
