[He's pretty sure if he smiled any harder his face would actually split in two.]
Yep! This is Kouda-kun's-- he's visiting his parents for the weekend, so we get to look after his rabbit! [He'd made sure to clear it with Kouda and Aizawa first-- Aizawa agreed it would probably be a good exercise for Eri, in the long run. Help her learn to take care of small things, help her regulate excitement and care. It might help with her use of her quirk, too, for that matter. But that was the farthest thing from Izuku's mind, right then, he was far too interested in Eri enjoying getting to look after something small and fluffy.]
[The thing is, with Eri's extremely rocky upbringing, she's never really had a chance to have contact with an animal like this one. No expenses were spared to "try" to keep her happy when she was with Overhaul and his people, but even so...something like this would have naturally been beyond them, for practicality purposes. Eri's actually a little afraid to move too much, lest she disturb the rabbit which is for all intents and purposes not really planning on going anywhere, content to sit where it is.]
[Eri is too good for this world, too pure. Izuku's expression wobbles just a little-- he can't handle how sweet she is, honestly. He nods, scooting closer to her and letting his hand hover over the rabbit's back.]
He is! You know they call them cottontail rabbits, right? Maybe that's why.
[The rabbit is pretty used to pettings and generally being the passed-around school pet of a bunch of rambunctious hero types, so Eri's gentle stroking is quite pleasant. He just kind of chills and does the cute little nose-twitch, nibbling at the front of her shirt.]
[Eri giggles again at the rabbit's antics, every action gentle like she's afraid she might scare the rabbit away if she moves too quickly. Fortunately for her this rabbit is battle hardened, so she probably couldn't startle it even if she tried.
Her legs swing idly over the edge of Izuku's bed, her fingers carding through the bunny's soft coat.]
Animals are...okay to be in here?
[That's a bizarre notion, to her. Given the sort of germ-free environment she had to have perpetually lived in, the thought of an animal being anywhere near where people live is hard to grasp.]

Can I pet him?
no subject
Of course! Just be real gentle, yeah?

Heehee...he's so soft. Like a cotton ball.
