give me one chance to [...joining...] mend the pain

Izuku hadn't known Cry very well in the time she'd been there. She'd been snappish and rude to everyone, had definitely screamed at him, and nobody had ... really liked her. Which was really a shame to Izuku -- he'd actually liked the bird. She was like Kacchan in a way, but nice and a lot less likely to kill him for the smallest slight. She'd shown enough soft spots for her to have avoided his list of people to avoid, and Izuku had kind of wished he'd gotten to understand her better before she just sort of .. took off.
He wasn't really expecting her to come back, though. People who left just ... didn't seem to come back. But when Izuku hears Cry's call, the Tenderfoot's ears twitch and he perks up. He recognizes that voice -- it'd been a long time, but a few months wasn't really long he supposes. And Izuku won't deny the relief he feels, or the twinge of excitement as he makes to shove himself to his paws. And regrets it -- he hisses as he habitually places his right paw heavy on the ground and owowowow that hurts. He squeezes his eyes shut for a few moments as he shifts away, and waits for the pain to subside before he hurriedly stumbles over to Cry's direction, tail wagging.
"Cry!" Izuku beams at the raven. He doesn't quite know what to do with himself -- he doesn't want to accidentally set her off, and she seems healthy enough. Fortunately. Izuku was relieved about that -- he's so sick of healing people and medicine right now because he's been reading nonstop about it since he'd heard Jacob stepped down. He doesn't know how to be a one-man medical team, he wasn't made for this life, what the hell. "You're back!! Welcome back! How are you?" He'd probably spin in an excited circle if he could, but that's risky and if Izuku loses balance he's gonna scream. Still, he seems happy enough, kind of bouncing on the one front paw he has on the ground.
