[ Seeing it is, indeed, his classmate he's not seen for well over half a year, Kirishima gulps in a breath. She runs over and hugs him and he hugs her even tighter, lifting Ochako free of the ground in a tight embrace of his own. It's almost as if she's squeezing the emotion right out of him! ]

[ He says again, this time full of emotion that speaks of something a little wet; he's tearing up, shaking her side to side a little in his embrace even as his face tucks against her shoulder. They never really ran in what you'd call one another's circles, but he still considered her a friend and time apart had certainly made his memory of his classmate even stronger. A few tears are definitely shed because he missed her so much but he gulps back the rest of his emotions of just simply missing what was of his life in U.A., something she indelibly represents at this moment.

Kirishima makes to set her down and lifts a hand, thumbing aside his lingering tears. He sniffs and offers a watery smile. ]

But you're in a whole other world now. A whole other planet from ours, and a different time too. But don't worry - nothin's going on without us back home. I know that sounds weird and unbelievable right now, but it's true.

[ In the meantime, Jack the Noivern has stretched herself out low on the ground, wings splayed and her form almost flattened. She chitters toward the Cleffa. Come, little child... She's probably done tormenting now she's gotten some good fear. Come, come... It was all in good fun. It was just a prank, sis. ]
