 [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?

Private--because he's ironically the only one who remembers this part because he's paranoid

[foriamhere]

[He is probably the last person who should be talking to anyone about emotions considering he exists in a constant state of emotional constipation, but he's going to give it a shot anyway.]

So it's just when you get home, huh?

[He's rubbing at the back of his head, thinking.]

Satou my girl, how does your magic work again?

[Because he remembers it had something to do with emotions, and obviously it's emotions that seem to be going haywire, so...]

[priceofmagic]

Well... I absorb emotions, process them, and turn them into magic... But it usually doesn't affect me. Not unless it's a emotion that's like... 13, on a scale that's only meant to reach 10.

private forever

[foriamhere]

13 out of 10, huh?

[Is this a lopsided half grin showing up on his face? Maybe a bit.]

I... honestly don't think you have anything to worry about, my girl. You just perfectly described Hizashi Yamada's general existence... He is like... [He has to consider, trying to find the right description for the man's unending energy] a nuclear engine or something, way too much going on at all times.

13/10 may even be a bit low [He laughs]

As for Aizawa... I think he has more going on under the surface too. There's a lot going on between those two that has been building for fifteen years. You're just getting caught in the undertow right now... [he frowns for a moment] Or would it be overflow... [Syntax is not what you should be dwelling on, All Might.]

[priceofmagic]

[At first, Satou considers all of this with relative calm.

So Aizawa and Hizashi are in love with each other? That's what she's picked up from All Might. That's kind of sweet, and makes her happy. Aizawa is so cold sometimes, in a way that made her worry she didn't have anyone. And hearing they're feelings have been blooming for years is nostalgic. It reminds her of her relationship with Mikale back home... Love is nice---

wait.

But then it's 13/10 "in love."]

... TOSHINORI-SAN!

WHAT IF THEY HAVE... hnnghhAAAHHHHrrrghhhACK WHILE I'M HOME?

1/2

[foriamhere]

[He is now like a deer caught in headlights]

[Eyes wide]

[Lips pressed to a thin line]

[Trying not to burst out laughing]

[Like a giant asshole]

...

...

...

[He loses this battle.]

2/2

[foriamhere]

[At least it's his dry half-dying laugh and not the booming put-on All Might laugh? Though maybe that makes it worse because it means he's really laughing...]

If it makes you feel any better I don't think they have?

[Though if he hadn't walked in on them when he did that first day who the hell even knows?]

Just... try not to think about it?

[Hell, once they get one under their belts maybe the atmosphere will calm down for the poor girl. Oops, he's laughing all over again.]

[priceofmagic]

[And she's listening to all of that laughter.

Her cheeks, her ears, even her nose are all turning red from embarrassment. Why is he laughing? Is it funny? Is that funny? Maybe he doesn't understand?!?]

To, Toshinori-san, I-- I'll keep sponging their feelings, though! What if I act on them? I would have to turn off my empathy, but I need it so that I can reduce my sleep time to 4 hours. What am I going to do...???

[Having a normal sleep schedule is apparently not an option.]

[foriamhere]

[Wait.]

You only sleeping for four hour a night!?! Satou, you need to sleep.

[priceofmagic]

I do sleep! Four hours! I can repair my body with magic, the same way sleep helps you to recover.

Or I could. When I was keeping my empathy open while I was home.

[foriamhere]

Have you ever heard the phrase 'burning the candle at both ends'?

I think you would do well to block it if you can and sleep regularly. Maybe do so anyway just to test the theory? If you are drawing from one of them and you deactivate your magic the effect should stop, right?
