[It most certainly will help Ochako a lot. Kirishima's experience and his very presence alone is helping, and while not super close to one another, Ochako definitely sees her redheaded friend as being the sturdy, supportive wall that holds up their class. He's always reassuring or helping people out, always there to lend a hand, and he's always just so positive and a delight to be around. It's why Ochako trusts him so much, and seems to calm down quicker around him - Kirishima just has that kind of ability. He makes Ochako feel relaxed, and safe. Maybe because he's just to earnest and kind - a lot like herself - that they just sort of feed off each other that way. She couldn't say exactly, but...well, no pun intended at all, but he really is her rock, and Ochako appreciates him so, so much.

Jack certainly is...something. even as Ochako watches the two Pokemon stand off, she can't help but snicker as Cleffa does as she threatened to do and is swats that long tongue away with her tiny arms, making loud squeaking noises like a hassled dog toy or something.]

Ehehe, she's kind of cute now that I can really look at her. But wow...these things really get that bi--

[Wait. Wait, Kirishima raised her since she was young? For how long? Glancing between her Cleffa and the huge bat-dragon, Ochako's smile vanishes again as she frowns in thought. That can't be right, she just saw her friend a little while ago. Maybe just a few days ago, before winter break break started and she began her Work Study with Ryukyu-san. For something to grow as big as Jack...that'd take a while, wouldn't it?]

M-Mm, yeah...I think sitting down would be best. I-I feel like there's a lot I'm, um...missing. [Ochako follows after her friend, taking a seat on some soft grass with her own backpack by her feet and she just...quietly pokes at the pads on her fingers. Slowly. One by one.]
