The guy wasn't answering any of her questions. There was no reason to. This whole scene was a waste of time. Considering the distance between them, when she shouted, the last thing he expected was a shoe to fly at him. And hit him straight in the face. "Gah!" His grip loosened immensely from the attack. Pino quickly flew down to peck the dude's hand to give it the small little push that it needed while Uraraka took care of his other arm. The kid was free!
Now Rody had an opening. He ran straight for the kid and crouched down with his arms wide open, only pausing for a moment to wrap his arms around him. "I need you to hold onto me, okay buddy?" He instructed as he lifted the child up and continued to run. The kid needed to be kept safe and away from the danger. Rody glanced back at Uraraka and the bad guy. Even if the kid was the priority, he wondered if she would need his assistance.
As Rody made haste with the kid in hand, the man growled in pure frustration. Now that he had a free hand again, since he was no longer holding the kid, he directed a huge burst of air towards the hero as he tried to pull his arm out of her strong hold. He wouldn't let himself go down this easily!
Time flew by like the wind. Between classwork and trying to help Rody feel accommodated at UA, Ochako had barely enough time for herself!
But she decided to ask Hatsume for a new upgrade to her uniform and was passing the hallway when she noticed Rody's door to his guest room stood open. Sneaking a peak, she poked her head in but to her surprise he didn't seem to be there. Had he simply forgotten to close the door?
Scratching her head, she continued on her way to Hatsume when her stomach growled. Although she had a small lunch a few hours prior and wasn't very hungry, she still wanted to eat something.
I guess I'll meet Hatsume later.
With that thought, Ochako made her way to the kitchen to see if she could find a snack.

“So you’re admitting I was right?” Though it’s phrased like a question, down to the intonation even, the underlying sense is that he doesn’t really expect it to be answered. Nor he needs it; he can read between the lines well.
The next part comes easy, as it’s one Izuku knows best. Money is, after all, the best motivator there is. For most people, but that’s the beautiful thing in it all: it means that it works nine times out of ten.
“The world’s safety has no price,” the villain reassures in a light tone. For the persona he has created for this purpose, it may sound innocent enough: just another person relieved he is one step closer to ensure the good guys are going to win again. For the reality… the connexion doesn’t present itself as crystal clear. “I have been given an open account. You want five thousand, you get five thousand, that kind of stuff, you get the gist,” he finishes with a shrug, though a bit quieter this time. Better not to let anybody else hear that, or they might get some stupid ideas.
Not that he can’t handle a robbery, but there’s more important things right now.
“Wouldn’t get too cocky if I were you, still.” Logical, isn’t it? Say a wrong number, either too small and too high, and poof! Suspicion arises, and it’s all gone as if it were never there. “We can do half before, and half after.”
His eyes narrowed at that. Rody wasn't going to agree or disagree verbally. The guy had his attention, for now.
Rody practically mocked such a corny sentence in his mind. The world’s safety has no price. Yeah, sure, but how much are you willing to pay me for its safety? He did his best not to react in any particular way at the hypothetical amount that was stated.
Five thousand? He didn't even make that much in a month! Rody wasn't a truly greedy person. He always took what he could, would sometimes try to negotiate, but never pushed it. And if he ever was greedy, it was for good reason. He had two younger siblings to feed and take care of. Any amount helped.
And five thousand was an amount that would help him out immensely.
"Who says I'm getting cocky?" He retorted with a smirk. Even if the other backed out of the second half of the deal, twenty five hundred was still plenty, but of course it wasn't preferable if five thousand was possible. "I understand how this works. I respect it." Did Rody respect him though? That was a different question.
If he was in on this deal now, Rody was going to have to peek into that memory card with all the Humarise info on it that he should have turned in to the officials in retrospect just to make sure where this formula could be. “I don’t want to do any exchanging while on the job, ya know?” He kept his voice low. “You can give me half outside after my shift ends. Then we’ll meet outside again... tomorrow night? I’ll have what you need by then.” Rody stuck out his hand in classic deal-making fashion. “Do we have a deal?”
"Gee, thanks. I don't really have a choice in what kinda quirk I get, ya know? At least I can choose to have a nicer personality." Hey, if the explosive blonde wanted to pick at him, Rody would meet him half-way.
"And it's not so bad. I can tell you what's actually annoying, though." Rody knew very well that he was treading dangerous ground by talking like this, but said it all with a smirk anyhow.
―― 〈 ❝ you probably have got the dumbest fuckin’ quirk in the entire world. ❞ katsuki says with a snarl, does he like rody ? fuck no, he don’t. katsuki wasn’t a fan, not like dumb idiot deku and half and half. ❝ doesn’t it get annoyin’ bein an actual fuckin’ bird brain ? ❞ 〉 / × @rody-soul
