[It helps to know sometimes that Satou has magical empathy: She can pick up on emotions in a room as if they are her own, and turns that emotional energy into magic. To compensate for a broken sleeping schedule, she often 'recharges' her magic when she's at home... Which is now Fairy Haven... with Aizawa... and also, Mic.

who have the feelings.]

Something's wrong with me...

[have a melancholy, teenage girl sigh.]

Not like, health-wise. Health is fine. Magic is fine. Work is fine. But then I get home and just... Especially when Mr Aizawa and Mr Mic are in a room together....

[She probably meant to mark this as private, but has forgotten. Oops. Sorry to call you men out.]

I feel strange... Like all warm and antsy. Am I afraid of them, or? [lowering her voice to a worried whisper:] Do I have an Electra Complex? What do I do?

[Excuse him what?]

Uuuuh, You can just call me Yamada, or Hizashi.

[how does.... he address...... the rest???? Does she have a crush on Shouta? That's, almost cute is what that is?]

... Your name isn't Mic? Like Michael..?

Hahaha, no no! Present Mic is my hero name! Hizashi Yamada is my civilian name. Probably kind of confusing, huh?

[he grins a little, awkwardly.]

So you gonna tell a guy where you're at? Maybe we can pick up icecream or something and talk your problem out?

Ah. That makes sense. Your hero name just doesn't sound as... unique. As Shouta's. I couldn't tell.

[The offer for ice cream almost gets her... until she realizes what he meant by 'problem.' Her problem... which was apparently public... and is now a bigger problem.]

WHA-- What problem?! No problems here!

[He just stares, taken aback.

until he starts laughing, holding his hands up in a surrender gesture.]

We don't have to talk about it!! But hey, icecream sounds like a good idea right?

[he'll also lean in and whisper conspiratorially]

If you want the truth, I gave him his hero name! Hahaha

[She's even more embarrassed when he lets it go. Ugh, she feels so stupid! Stupid is mixed in with her confused dokis now, and it's a really gross combination.]

F, Fine, I-I mean... Without Shouta though... [Satou covers her face and whines at herself. Does she really have a crush on her dad figure? She knew she was a broken person, but this is just gross!]

... It makes me think of a stationary shop mascot.

[okay no he laughs harder at that, his shoulders shaking, the expression shoving his eyebrows up towards his forehead.]

THAT'S AMAZING, I'm not going to be able to un think that now!!! Perfect, Satou! Hey, so where are you? I'll come pick you up and it's a date.

[Hizashi no.]

DA-- [be cool, satou.

She sighs, trying to regain her composure. If she makes a fool of herself in front of Mic, it won't matter if this is a crush or fear: Her pride will take an irreversible hit!]

I'm at Fairy Haven, still.

Yeah? Huh. Meet me in the lobby, and we'll go ok? Promise just you and me.

[he's honestly trying to be a parental figure here. Sorta. He shouldnt have teased her. But, he makes his way down to the lobby eventually, still tying his hair back in a messy bun when he gets there.

If he sees satou, he'll wave at her once his hair situation is settled.]

[Satou is reluctant to come, only because she's afraid of possible emotions. From Rose, she has gathered that it's possible this is her empathy... But that makes absolutely no sense to her. That would mean Shouta or Hizashi had lovey emotions that went off her scale of comprehension.

girl doesn't want to think too hard about dad's love life, ok???

She arrives in the lobby dressed for casual times-- which, for Satou, means a frilly lolita dress.]

Ah. Mr Yamada... Hm? [She doesn't feel in love?

Satou squints at him.] Hmmm?

[She's super cute. Shouta's picked a cute daughter tbh.]

Hahaha, yeah, that'll work! ....Uh, something the matter? [he feels unsure, about that "hm"] Everything alright?

[he reaches out to affectionately ruffle her hair, an easy grin placed on his lips.]

[Throughout the hair ruffling, Satou is squinting suspiciously.

Until, with a sigh, she closes her eyes and relaxes.]

Mm. I'm not in love with you.

[And then, tapping her cheek thoughtfully,] So it's only Shouta...? Ugh.

[Satou you're so blunt.... He laughs though, a bright cheerful sound.]

I had a feeling. You've only known me for a little while, so I had my doubts. Shouta though... hm.

[He shifts to start guiding her outside so that they can go get their dumb ice cream]

From what I understand he's been there for you a lot huh? Can't say I blame you. He puts up a scary front but he's a huge softie. He's real fond of you.

[She follows along, though the 'ugh' noises have yet to stop.]

Nngh... Don't talk about it like it's okay. It's going to cause problems. I won't be able to live with him anymore... I was finally feeling okay, too. [Though unvoiced, she feels like she's ruining her family again.]

[That gets him to stop mid stride, the easy expression wiped off his face. One arm loops around Satou's shoulders from behind, so he's kind of hugging her.]

Oi, hey. No way. You're not gonna go anywhere, got it? Sho'd be devastated even if he wouldn't show it. You're what, 16? you can't help it. You're just gonna have to like... work through it.

[he hums thoughtfully.]

I had a crush when I was your age, you know. They're not terrible. You can still be friends with them. Most of the time I didn't even think about it.

[hizashi your crush is a bad example. a very bad example.]

[She stumbles from the surprise of his touch. Though she's been here for a year, it's still strange to be acknowledged this way. It isn't something that she wants to give up, either.

Also, not to be a downer, but:]

I don't know how to deal with crushes... I push Mikky back, and Shoes died. [~~which solved that problem!~~

She sighs, shaking her head.]

Plus, I think he'd rather I was like a daughter. Not a... gross.

[Oh that's... incredibly sensitive information. He just pulls her back against him, reaffirming the hug.]

That must be hard to deal with, Satou.

[He considers for a minute, head tilting to one side.]

You're not gross. But heeeeey tell you what. If you have a crush on the old guy, you can always talk to me about it!!! Guess I can kind of commiserate.

But I'm pretty sure this'll pass.

[She leans into the hug. Satou may be off the handle with insane solutions to her imaginary problem, but she's also driven by guilt. It seems unfair to have a new crush before she resolves the emotions left back home.

Her eyes close as she indulges in a comforted moment. At least she isn't alone in--

hang on.]

... Is Shouta an old guy? I thought he was still pretty young.

Hahahaha, just joking a little. We're the same age, 30. If he's old, I'm old! And I definitely don't feel old. So there you have it!

Just trying to lighten the mood a bit. If you've managed to worm your way in with Shouta, you've got a good ally on your side. He's not going to make you leave over a crush, kiddo.

Oh, I see... So then you have a crush on a 30 year old too?

[The girls in her relatively smart head are beginning to spin. Huh. He can commiserate. That's such a coincidence. When she really thinks about it, it could almost make sense.

A lot of sense, actually.

Satou has a theory now.]

... Tell me more about Shouta. [And she's going to monitor his feelings. This isn't rude. It's science.]

Huh?

[he blinks, looking down at her from the reverse-hug]

Tell you about him?

[He has to think a bit. What kinds of things would she want to know? There's a lot of little nitpicky things he's tucked away in his stupidly smart (yet wholly idiotic) brain. Like shouta's coffee habits, or the way he ties his hair back sometimes when it's too messy even for him. Or all the napping spots around the school he's managed to find and memorize.]

What.... do you wanna know? You know he has a thing for cats right? He's also kind of bad at taking care of himself, at least when it comes to eating real food. I'm convinced I'm gonna have to throw away every last protein gel pack in all the archways to get him to stop eating that crap.

But uh, yeah. Not sure what kind of things you're looking for here. You wanna get him a thank you gift or something?

[Despite the bitching, his thoughtful expression is fond.]

[She is listening, but she's also paying attention to other things. Like the emotions in the air, and which ones are strong enough to turn into magic. It doesn't take her long to notice a difference, and to fit that piece into her emotional puzzle.

Rather than answer his question, Satou answers her own:]

So you're the one in love with Shouta. Not me.

[what]

I... what? I mean, y...eah? It's kind of complicated and not really appropriate for me to talk to you about but. I've had a thing since we were about your age, I guess...

[he releases her from the hug to rub the back of his neck]

But uh, that's changed a bit recently.

[Have no fear! Satou doesn't need the details. Actually, she may not even need anymore comforting. She suddenly looks a lot better: Some may even describe her as "cured."]

Haaaah! Oh, thank goodness! I thought I was in love, but it's just my empathy~! [She giggles, her mood doing a complete 180.] Thank you so much, Mr Yamada. You were right. A walk with you was what I needed!

[girl, they're barely outside.]

Ahaha... r...right. [he really.. has no idea what she's talking about.]

Waaaait, empathy? So you've been dealing with my... [Oh, that's awkward. He winces.]
