[ Rei Hazama: a girl who was known for her powerful hypnotic ability to the point where she even had her own television show when she was a young child. They called her Saimin Shoujo - Hypnosis Girl. However, due to several factors, the show was cancelled. While many people thought that she was a fake, that all changed when she became a Super High School Level at Hope's Peak Academy.

That school, Hope's Peak was known globally to be a place where they were making an attempt to find people with talent and research them. However, that was just a cover for the real reason behind the founding of the school: to find able telepaths and possibly see if one of them could form a link. But it still hasn't happened to anybody, so they just keep on collecting telepaths like candy.

But the mistake Rei makes is not paying attention to her surroundings and manages to bump into a whole foot taller than her— ]

I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

[ What she doesn't realize is that he can hear her thoughts loud and clear now, even when she tries to hide it. 'This boy, he's a Reserve Course student, isn't he?' ]

I'm going to assume that Hinata is taller since he's a freaking giant but I will change if necessary

[putinreserve]

[He's surprised at her talking - maybe that means he's getting too used to this, Hinata doesn't know, but he matches her regardless.] I'll follow your lead, then.

[And he does, glancing around as they go. He doesn't exactly come here often, but Hinata has never been back this far before...

When they come to a stop in front of some of the shelves, he glances over at the girl beside him.] Tell me which one it is and I can reach it. There should be ladders around too if it happens to be higher up than I can reach.

[Not that that's super likely, unless it's at the very top. If there's one thing Hinata has to his advantage, it's his height.]

[dolosa]

It's on one of the higher shelves, so I usually have to get a ladder...

[ Rei's lips tug into a rather awkward smile; it's obvious that she's rather short, so talking about her height makes her feel just a little uncomfortable. ]

You can probably see it; it's the huge red book.

[putinreserve]

[He lets the first part be. Hinata can deduce that with a look, and there's no reason to embarrass her needlessly. Especially not considering how their interactions have been up to this point.]

Yeah, I can see it from here. Give me a second.

[He does have to stand on the tips of his toes, but he's able to reach it without too much issue. The book is pretty hefty, so he has to be careful not to overbalance when his heels touch the floor again. The binding creaks as he adjusts his grip.] We can grab a table to sit at first, if you'd like.

[It seems unlikely she'd be able to find it fast enough that they wouldn't need to have a seat first, but... There's been a lot of surprises with her so far, so who really knows?]

[dolosa]

[ Oh, he's grabbing it... something that is a bit of a relief when she gasps slightly. But it's completely fine when he grabs the book and manages not to trip over himself. ]

We probably should, since that book is rather large. Even though I know where it is in that book.

[putinreserve]

Alright. I think I saw a few back here while we were walking past.

[Hinata figures the next part is best not said out loud, so he tests the link again as he starts walking. In the back here, we shouldn't have to deal with anyone else coming around. So far it's been just us, so we should be safe.]
