[She grabs his hand, but rather than just using it to help him, she also lets him act as leverage, pulling her closer to the cow so she can smack her palm against its flank. The momentum of their fall still carries them downwards, and now she's falling with them, but now it's more of a gentle, fluttering fall then a deadly drop.]

...Um... is that it? Did we do it?

[egginamicrowave]

I-I think so.

[Okay, everything's catch up to him. They're floating down, no one's going to go splat or get injured. He's not going to get injured. Hopefully.]

Now we just have to get the notebook!

[Which is still hanging from the cow's mouth somehow. And looking a bit soggy.]

[willynilly]

[Ochako tilts her head up to where the cow's mouth is. Ewwww.]

That's some grip... I was kinda hoping the fall would make her drop it. She must really want that book.

[egginamicrowave]

I was thinking the same thing, but she's pretty determined.

[He says as he studies the cow, trying to think of a way to get her to open her mouth.]

I guess I never really covered cows in school.

[willynilly]

It's a bit out of our usual expertise...

[eh-heh heh.]

Unless there's a cow villain out there somewhere! How moo-nacing.

[egginamicrowave]

[Honestly, Deku wouldn't be surprised. He's going to give the notebook a few tugs, earning some ire from the cow.

Though it's half-hearted because that was a really bad joke.]

Somehow I think they'd be easier to deal with.

[willynilly]

[Everyone's a critic. Ochako glances around, then taps her fingertips together; everyone together drops the last foot and a half to hit the ground at full weight. Surprise!

The cow is definitely surprised, so it all depends on how stubborn she is.]

Try now?

[egginamicrowave]

[There's a slight oof! from Deku as he lands, not quite expecting the sudden weight, even if it is a short distance. Still, he nods, and goes for the notebook. The Cow had let out a surprised "moo!" as well, allowing Deku to grab it.]

Got it!

[Said, almost triumphantly. Though a good portion of the book is a rather soggy, slobbery mess.]

[willynilly]

[She almost claps! Except... looking at the state of the book, it doesn't feel like much of a victory.]

Wow, um... i-it's not so bad! Maybe it'll be okay if we dry it out somewhere!

[Just. Not in the sun, because this place hasn't seen the sun in forever.]

[egginamicrowave]

[Take 'em where you can get 'em I guess.]

You wouldn't happen to have a hair dryer, would you?

[If only Todoroki or Yaoyorozu were here.]

[willynilly]

Mm, sorry. All I've got here is the shuttle engine, but that's... a bit much.

[His notes would go from soggy to crispy in a matter of seconds.]

[egginamicrowave]

Yeah, that could go pretty badly. I guess I'll just have to wait for it to dry out somewhere.

[And then see if anything is salvageable.]

[willynilly]

Mm! If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

[Options are awfully limited, but she can't not offer.]

I'm sorry it took your book, Deku. I know it's really important to you.

[egginamicrowave]

You've already been a big help Uraraka. Thanks.

[He sighs at the notebook]

I guess I'll just have to start over from scratch.

[willynilly]

Aww...

[He's probably right, but it still sucks to acknowledge it. They worked so hard to get it back, too!]

...W-well! You didn't get much money showing up here, right? I'll take you shopping, then! We'll find you a new book, and you'll fill it up in no time.

[egginamicrowave]

Not a whole lot, no.

[That's going to be something he'll have to think about now to.]

You don't have to but...alright. Thanks. Again.
