and then darkness — o, patrol

[align=center][div style="max-width: 600px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10pt;"][color=black]Unfortunately for Aizawa, Melantha does not give a shit whether or not she should risk offending him by pointing out his evident illness. The only creature lucky enough to possess Mel's empathy and sympathy is Jacob. Which means that as the solitary predator approaches from behind Izuku, the moment Aizawa comes into view, she immediately notices how bad he looks. "I'm always happy to partake in a patrol, but you look like shit," says the youthful wildcat with a pointed look in his direction. Somewhere, deep down, a part of Mel cares about the male's health. But, in all honesty, what is prominent in the female's mind is how inconvenient it will be if she has to carry his prone ass all the way back to camp because he was too stupid to just stay and get some bed rest. "I highly recommend that you stay behind, because if you collapse, I'm not taking you back." And she's not letting Izuku take him back either, because the poor kid is injured himself and should also be getting some bed rest. Mel wrinkles her nose--Jacob is pushing himself and now these two are, as well. She appreciates their desire to get out and be helpful, but at the expense of their personal health?
