[Haa... Howard calling her out. She won't lie, the thought has already crossed her mind how exciting it'd be to use Howard as a subject, but--]

Only with your permission, of course. I don't want you to feel anxious.

[ohrlyeh]

It's fine. I'm always happy to help you.

[The tentacles move up to wrap around his own arm, like a sleeve- it seems to be an involuntary manuever, like he's fidgeting.]

Also, I don't know if Kei gave it to you, but I left a sketchbook with my drawings when you were out. A gift for you...though I'm nowhere as good as you.

[imaginex]

... Oh!

[And in one motion, Sakura bends down to her tote and plucks out the sketchbook in question.]

You mean this one?

[SURPRISE she kept it with her, because of course she did. And though her tea is probably cool enough to drink, she's switched gears and so places it on the table for now.]

Yes, Shigaraki-san gave it to me! I was so excited to see your drawings!

[ohrlyeh]

Oh! Yes.

[That's the one.]

[His drawings aren't nowhere near good - he's drawn a lot of cats, some people (shaded deeply with pencil), a few trees and objects here and there. They're all very neatly lined, though the form of many of them is often off and slightly grotesque - too long legs, big dark eyes, twisting bodies.]

[He lets out a huff.]

You said you had wanted to see them, so...I gave it a shot.

[imaginex]

I love them.

[Said with a simple, bold affection as she flips through the pages, occasionally pausing to draw a finger over the neat lines.]

After everything that happened, it was something nice to wake up to.

[ohrlyeh]

I'm glad.

[There's a sense of relief in his voice, like part of him was scared that somehow, they wouldn't be as good of a gift as he thought they would be.]

I just wanted to make you happy. You know, especially after all that happened.

[imaginex]

Maybe in the future, we can draw together...?

[She asks tentatively, like she's unsure if it's something she should want in the first place.]

I... haven't been drawing as much as I used to, to be honest.

[ohrlyeh]

I'd love that.

[He says, 100% sincerely. His tentacles move down, cracking back into the familiar shape of a human hand, which he uses to reach over to her hand, give it a squeeze.]

That's fine. I like anything you make, you know? Quality over quantity...

[imaginex]

[When he puts it like that, Sakura doesn't feel so bad for nearly failing her classes, or feeling her stomach drop each time she has to draw for an assignment. That's probably not how she should be feeling...

But she squeezes his "hand" back, deciding she doesn't care.]

That's a good way to think about it.

Okay, it'll be a date.

[TEASING... SHE'S TEASING...]
