Hearing and seeing that friend start to panic and babble makes it feel like he just swallowed a rock. Oh no, he's said too much and now Ururaka's losing it! Quick, dumbass, think!

The redhead lets go of Ochako to take her shoulders instead, ducking his head so his forehead nearly meets hers and they're eye to eye. ]

Hey. Look at me. Take a breath - it's gonna be okay.

[ And Kirishima proceeds to demonstratively take a few himself around what he hopes is a reassuring smile; it actually helps calm him down, at least enough to think about the next step. ]

Let's go sit in some shade, okay? I've got a bento we can split and some water-- Jack, leave her alone.

[ Having not gotten the attention she's so obviously been craving, the Noivern has snuck her head near the pair in order to try and prod at the poor fallen Cleffa with her long tongue. Kirishima pushes her face away now like an annoying horse. ]

She won't hurt her.

[ He's quick to reassure Ururaka, shifting to put himself to body-block both the newbies from his bratty dragon anyway. ]
