[For someone with Denki's grades and attention span, homework study groups are the gods' gift to humankind, but they don't solve every problem, especially when math is involved. He's almost done for tonight, though, and for once not that long after most of the others headed off to bed. Just one more problem to work through... oh god, he's falling asleep... okay, one glass of water, then one last math problem, then bed. Sounds like a plan.
He pushes himself up out of his seat, yawns, stretches. He ambles off in the direction of the communal kitchen.
...
He bursts back into the common area, wide awake, slamming both hands on the table and literally crackling with nervous energy.]
[Kyoka was just starting to relax herself, so Kaminari's declaration nearly sends her shooting right out of her skin. She quickly pulls herself back together and starts to reprimand him for startling her that way, but then his words sink in and she stands up with a crooked grin.]
Kaminari... are you scared of dogs?
[She'll deal with the fact that there's one in the dormitory later. This is solid gold right here.]
What?? No! Look!! [He gestures back toward the kitchen in an emphatic if not ultimately very meaningful way.] You know Aizawa-sensei's gonna flip into the stratosphere if he finds out someone brought an animal in!
[After a moment, a thought occurs. This doesn't happen often, so Jiro had better appreciate it.]
Waaait, wait wait... Did you know there was a dog in the sink?!
Ha, no way! I would've fooled you into going in there way sooner if I knew about the dog!
[But Denki's right... another rare occurrence. There shouldn't be a dog in here, especially not in the kitchen, and that means it would behoove them to hide the thing asap.
Not just get rid of it, because what if it has nowhere else to go?! She'll just need to come up with a way less softhearted reason than that in case someone (lookin' hard at Todoroki in her mind) demands they toss it out.]
Okay, okay, we'd better do something about the - [Kyoka pauses in the kitchen doorway, struggling to keep her face neutral. It's so tiny and white and fluffy tho...] - the dog -
[Denki peeks in from the other side of the door, hands on the doorframe.] See? What did I tell you?
[It's a dog! Like he said! For some reason, he's proud of himself! ...briefly, before he notices that uncharacteristic lack of rudeness coming from the rest of the doorway.]
