While everyone was busy assessing the situation and rationalizing everything that happened in this short moment, all Nori could think about was the rejection of her challenge; no not even a rejection, she just got straight up ignored. Boro was not gaining any affection in her eyes. The thing that removed Nori from her train of thoughts was a growl of some kind; upon looking around to find the source, she noticed Fenrir, who apparently threatened Nori; she didn’t really understand why he was so upset about it when others barely batted an eye, but appearances needed to be kept so she innocently gazed at Fenrir and softly said,
 
[color=f49ac2]“Well…sorry, I didn’t know your ears were that sensitive, though it’s pretty obvious if you think about it-“[/color]
 her last words being said in a more joking tone before removing the smile from her face and scratching her right cheek with one finger, as if to look cute. [color=f49ac2]“I *did* warn you.”[/color]

 
After addressing Fenrir, Nori turned around, only to see a round table with a single person sleeping on it in the most nonchalant way possible. It made Nori lift the right corner of her mouth and twitch her eye in dismay.
 
"Mmmm... Woman of the hour.”
 
Nori quickly glanced towards the blind girl before looking back towards the sleeping beauty. The words slowly sunk in, that unruffled woman was Tumble! She is the one that gave Nori the opportunity to challenge U.A., and she is the one in charge here. The sight made Nori a bit agitated though, Tumble was a very popular hero, but this slop in front of them didn’t look competent at all. Yet she was even more agitated at the boy buttoning up her shirt as if it was the nicest thing to do. She wanted to speak up about it but before being able to, a little boy was flying across the room, looking to tackle Tumble. Her first reaction was surprise, what reason did he have to glide straight into Tumble? How did he even do it? Luckily, she was able to contain herself and remove any unnecessary thoughts so she could focus on the important things, like impressing Tumble herself.
 
With a sigh, Nori set one arm to face Tommy and the other in the opposite direction and she began to suck air in from Tommy’s side and pushing out air on the other end. In a flash she was racing across the room getting closer to Tommy, and with each inch closer, the pull affected Tommy more.

As he skidded across the table, aiming to fall right into Tumble’s lap, suddenly he felt the air around him drawn off course, his first instinct was to ‘pull’ harder to compensate, but if he did that he would be more likely to hurt Tumble than give a surprise. Changing from pulling to pushing, Tommy flew towards the source of the suction force, a pale girl with fun hair’s arms. Well… if she had her arms wide open, what kind of gentleman would Tommy be if he didn’t oblige~?

Opening his own arms to match Nori’s, Tommy was soon on a collision course with her instead, adjusting his speed so he didn’t slam into her, Tommy was mere moments away from impact.

[color=00aeef]“I didn’t know my hugs were in such high demand! You could have just asked, I was also going to get around to everyone at some point~.”[/color]

Nori’s plan had completely backfired, both literally and metaphorically. That little brat was heading straight for him, and it all went so fast that she could barely hear what Tommy was saying. she tried to stop and dodge him, but the momentum didn’t allow her to move, and so with a squeal, the two hit each other and tumbled down on the floor.

Nori blinked a few times, still a bit surprised; at least the fall didn’t hurt a whole lot since she used her quirk to reduce the fall damage. upon looking down, her eyes fell upon Tommy who blissfully had his arms wrapped around her. Yet instead of red cheeks and an awkward expression, Nori looked pissed off.

[color=f49ac2]“Get off of me boy, what is wrong with you!”[/color]
 She shouted while pushing Tommy aside with a good gust. after getting up, adjusting her clothes and hair and facing Tommy she continued with an almost scolding tone, [color=f49ac2]“You can’t just fly across the room [i]hugging[/i] everyone as you see fit, it’s rude, annoying, and obnoxious. have you ever seen a hero fly around cuddling everyone? It’s childish, even for someone of your age, so stop it; if you want affection, earn it.”[/color]
 Nori’s arms were folded at this point, her gaze still on Tommy.

Nori’s gust lifting him into the air Tommy, suspended himself for a moment to flip backwards for dramatic effect. Landing with arms up in the air and then looking around with a wide grin on his face like he was an olympic gymnast that had just completed their routine. He was about to take a bow when Nori berated him. Her points had merit and the affection comment did cut close to the bone, but he couldn’t just let her have the last word!

[color=00aeef]“Well, ma’am, you did a spectacular [i]job[/i] of [i]blowing[/i] me away, but why shouldn’t a hero fly around hugging people? Disasters happen, villains happen, just plain old scary stuff happens. Hugs are comforting, reassuring. They say ‘I’m here, you’re safe’. Hugs and affection? They might as well be as important as a hero’s costume. Is it childish? Probably. So is dressing up in spandex and stopping a mugger. So is coming up with a whacky code name to be called by everyone while wearing the spandex. A hug is important. Even a quirkless can be ‘super’ if they can give a kid a hug when needed, sometimes people need that more than a costume.”[/color] Bowing after making his point, Tommy’s smile was as ever present as always, but lacked a certain charm. Getting back up, the charm was back on and sighed.

[color=00aeef]“And here I thought I could be the first thing Miss Tumble saw upon waking, oh well. I’ll make a hugger out of you ma’am~!”[/color]

[color=f49ac2]“Is that your excuse for hugging everyone around you? You’re obviously missing the point, it’s really sweet that you want to comfort people, it’s a heroic quality even, but let me ask you; when you came at Tumble or me, did we look like we needed comfort? what if I felt very anxious around people, what if I didn’t like being hugged out of comfort at all? You’re not paying attention to others around you before you assault them, so that begs me to think, you have ulterior motives for your charade. besides, if you go around hugging people at the pace you’re at, it will give as much comfort as a handshake.”[/color]


[color=00aeef]“Charade?!”[/color] both hands over his heart, Tommy acted as the the accusation struck him physically [color=00aeef]“My word, you wound me! Well, if I did have an ulterior motive it would be something along the lines of ‘I like hugging and I’m a human being and therefore inherently selfish by nature’. But that’s on the assumption that I have an ulterior motive. Besides, have you given Miss Akemi a hug? It’s so soft! As for you, you’re wound kinda tight. If you were anxious around others would you have yelled at Marl back there, challenging him to a duel? If you don’t like being hugged, well I’d find out pretty quick and adjust my actions. Like what has happened now. My actions, my responsibility. It wouldn’t be Miss Shuko’s fault if I hugged you and you didn’t like it. It wouldn’t be Miss Tumble’s fault either. Mine, that’s all. Point is though, are we going to debate the fact I hug people all day? Or are we going to do something productive?”[/color]

Nori being as competitive as she is, got lost in trying to win the debate, and it took Tommy’s final words to make her realise it. she had made a fool of herself by talking about such a silly and childish subject with such passion, and that did make her blush. quickly facing away from Tommy and towards Tumble, she hoped that her future teacher was still asleep and hadn’t heard all the commotion. 

[color=f49ac2]“Fine, let’s leave it at that then.”[/color]
 She said abruptly before walking away from Tommy and towards a chair to the right of Tumble, sitting down with her arms folded.

[color=00aeef]“A wise general does know when to retreat… or something like that anyway~”[/color] going back over to Shuko, Tommy saw she’d hurt herself and offered her a seat. Nori’s talk making him think he was somehow responsible, and also offering one to Akemi, because that was just good manners.
