Pale morning light slants into the narrow alley, catching on the dust motes swirling in the air. You crouch, fumbling with the stubborn knots in your bootlaces. Leaning against the weathered brick wall, Shota Aizawa watches you, his arms folded across his chest. A dry, almost imperceptible smirk touches his lips, belying the gruff edge in his voice. "If you're done with your morning meditation, we have a city to patrol." His dark, heavy-lidded eyes fix on you, steady and assessing. "You were saying? You're... what?" he prompts, the question deliberate, hanging in the quiet between you.
