[Bakugou looks to be sitting in an old library with various magical tomes somewhere in Fayren. He sought someone out to give him an enchanted item so he can hear the books rather than read them. Which is kind of annoying because he reads faster than some disembodied voice can fucking speak but you take what you can get. He looks toward his phone, doing a very convincing job of someone who can see. Of course he's been practicing.

But he's pissed. The lack of training has taken a toll on him and he needs to stay in peak condition. So he takes one long, aggressive sip of his juice box, before angrily tossing it...well he tried tossing it in the wastebasket, but it just ends up on the floor.]

Anyone know about sensory deprivation training? Asking to challenge myself.

Teach me, aneki.

When do you want to start?

The sooner, the better. I feel like I'm going to explode just sitting here.

All right. Switching over to private messaging so we can talk about location.

[She wants him to be calm for this, and that's not going to happen if he's worried about being blind and unable to use his quirk around potentially dangerous people.]

For the early part of the training, we need to be somewhere quiet where you feel at peace and where we won't be interrupted. Whether that's at the far corner of the Fairy Haven training grounds, at my place in the living room, or somewhere else entirely is up to you. If it's anywhere other than Fairy Haven, I'll borrow the car.

Is it still private? [He hates asking, but he can't be 100% sure.]

Somewhere I'd feel at peace...

Either a volcano with a dragon's lair or the morgue.

Yes. No one can eavesdrop unless they're sitting near one of us.

[She can't even tell if he's kidding, saying this just in case the message wasn't private, or if he's half-serious. Either way, his answer gets a laugh out of her. Only he would come up with an answer like that.]

So, of the places that we actually have access to, which one do you think you'd feel most at peace in?

I would hear their breathing. People breathe fucking loud.

...Everyone here is annoying, but Fairy Haven is better fortified. You might as well come here.

All right. I'll be there soon. Have something to eat while you're waiting so that you won't be distracted by hunger. The first parts of training are going to involve mental, emotional and spiritual focus more than physical training. You can't use ki for fighting or sensing other people until you can sense your own, after all.

[The emotional and spiritual are the most closely tied, and the parts she suspects he'll have the most trouble with. He's physically competent and a swift learner. However, his denial and rejection of anything that makes him seem weak (even if it's only in his own mind) are going to hinder his progress a lot. She can only hope she'll be able to help him. Even if he never learns to use ki the way that she does, there are other ways this training could make him stronger.]

I don't get it, but fine.

[So is it like meditation? He's never been particularly good at that. Bakugou eats something like Bulla suggested, something premade so he doesn't have to struggle to cook, waiting in the bar for her to get there.]

[True to her word, she doesn't take long. The main delay is changing out of the light colored dress that she was wearing and switching over to clothes better suited for sitting cross-legged on the ground. She's about to wave in greeting before reminding herself that he can't see it anyway.]

Hey Katsuki. Let's go find a quiet spot where we won't be interrupted.

[She's not sure whether he'd prefer the dorms or a corner of the training grounds, so she leaves it up to him. The only thing that's for certain is that this can't be anywhere near the bar.]

Aneki. [He slides off the barstool, his feet hitting the floor.]

The training ground's this way. [Pointing in the general direction, he starts leading the way, counting the steps in his head.]

[She's about to start explaining ki, but then realizes that he probably needs to focus on what he's doing to get around without help. It can wait until they're there. So instead, she decides on a bit of small talk.]

How's preparation for the play going?
