[It's a marvel that Ochako doesn't drops anything, though considering her quirk, it's not an issue of anything falling down when she's surprised as it is, uhh...going up. And what's more startling than seeing the one person she's perhaps closest to in their class - at least in terms of the male variety; Tsuyu will always be Ochako's closest and best female friend. Ochako last saw Deku when he was being let into the confines of the fortified UA after her speech. He was still tired, dirty, emotional...none of what he looks like now. He looks...healthy. Rested. Clean. Safe.]

Eh--ah...D-Deku-kun?! You're here, too?!

[That poor ladle gets tossed aside and does a sloppy spin in the air as Ochako hurriedly makes her way to her friend, not hesitating for a moment before her arms are securing him in their grip, tight and warm and familiar. Ah...she was so afraid she wouldn't see any of her friends. Her voice chokes in her throat a little.]

I'm so glad to see you!! I just showed up maybe a few hours ago, in this big, um...I think it was a silo for bird feed. Other people got stuck in there, too, but I helped them all get out my quirk. Then I talked to a farmer, I think he was a farmer, then he explained everything which still sounds crazy, and then told me where to go so walked out here and--...a-and...!

[Oops, her lower lip is trembling a little, eyes misting up bad. Guess the build up of stress got the better of her upon seeing an old friend.]
