[They both need a hug it seems, because Ochako tries to hide it, but there's a definite quiver to her shoulders that belies her steadfast determination. She's nervous, and she's scared, because failure will never not be a deep-seated worry for a Hero, especially a young one in training. She's still very much a child, just sixteen years old, so there's a lot of pressure on her shoulders constantly. It's a life she chose and accepts, but that doesn't ever make it easy.

So a hug every now and again really helps. But also being believed in. Ochako's lower lip trembles a little, even though she tries to stop it, and her eyes get glassy, but she bites the inside of her cheek and takes a deep breath to push all that away. It's fine, it's going to be fine.]

That...r-really makes me h-happy. [Her smile is wobbly, but it's genuine.] Yeah...yeah. Even if we trip along the way, there's always someone there to pick us back up, ne? Let's...l-let's keep walking together after everything over with!!

[And Ochako sniffles, loudly, then swings Gokudera's hands in hers and plasters a big, kind of wet grin on her face. It's going to be fine - because they'll have friends by their sides. Always.]
