"Thank you." Frigga hadn't been told their name was cute before, but... It meant a lot. They broke the impulse-hug carefully, stepping back just a bit to smile a little, before they nodded. "I think so. I... Haven't found many powered friends. Or normal friends. Before I was 18 I was... Uhm..." They were embarressed. "I was a foster. Foster kid. And most people want small children or babies, so..." So they moved around a lot before powering, and didn't make many friends. Finch Woods didn't even have family, either, an unrelated problem, really, but still out there. They just felt... Lesser for it. Also something not to be admitted.

Belmont watched Frigga for a few seconds before he made up his mind. “Well. People don’t know what they’re missing when they don’t pay attention to what’s right in front of them. Here,” he held out his hand to shake--an offering of friendship.
“Let’s be powered friends. And normal friends. You like sweets? My cousin has a bakery in town. Really good stuff. He’ll hook us up, we can talk. I used to move around a lot as a kid so I met a lot of people but never really took the time to settle down and make good friends. I mean, what’s the point when you know you’re going to be leaving in a few months and everyone’s going to forget all about you?”
He shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck. “I’m here for school, so I’m going to be around for a while. And, now that I’m a Knight and all, I’m not really sure I can see myself leaving Destiny City. So if you need a friend, I mean. I’m not going anywhere.”

"It's hard to feel safe when you don't have a permanent family, too." Frigga admitted. "I'd.. I'd love to be your friend. I'd like to have someone I know won't go anywhere." They reached, shaking his hand with as much determination as the generally anxious, timid senshi was cvapable of. "Oh! I do like sweets! They're very nice, especially if you want to calm down and unwind." The senshi finally beamed happily. "If yiou're this nice, I bet your cousin is too. I hope sdo." Were they trying to be optimistic? They were trying to be very optimistic. Trying being the operative term, though. "I never considered school after high school... College seems..." Terrifying with all the homework and expectations and Frigga did not know how to handle that.

Belmont found himself frowning a bit, and wanting very much to give Frigga some sort of reassurance. He knew that things weren’t ever just that easy, but he knew that it was hard to be out there on your own--to feel like the world was just waiting to swallow you up.
“College is something else,” he agreed, because that was the nicest way to put it. “But I’m having fun. And if you want to learn something, you can always sit in on a class if you’re interested. But,” he flashed a grin, “Who has time to be kept in a small room for any longer than absolutely necessary, you know? But we’ll go get sweets and I’ll introduce you to him. And then, if you ever need someone to be nice to you, you know where to go. I’m excited though. You’ve got my number--text it when you power down tonight and we’ll figure something out. Although, I know I should be getting back soon. I didn’t mean to be out for too long tonight, but--we’ll meet again soon? I’m looking forward to getting to know you.”
When he smiled, it was genuine; he wasn’t saying it to just be polite.

"Sit in?" Frigga considered quietly, before nodding cheerfully. As far as they were concerned, all was looking up -- but they also desperately clung to a need for optimism, and they hummed. "I'd like that. And I'm sorry if I kept you out too long." They thought, then smiled. "Oh, I can text once I get home! We can maye start corraborating our next meeting then, too." Frigga smiled cheerfully. "It's going to be great!" Were they excited? Very much so! They wanted to make a friend and spend time getting to know them; they wanted to be social, scared or not!

“No, no,” Belmont assured. “You didn’t keep me out any later than I planned.”
Still, he couldn’t help but smile at their enthusiasm. “But yeah, text when you get home. I’m looking forward to making a plan. We’ll get all this figured out. And, honestly, I’m really looking forward to having someone else to patrol with. Can’t say I’m a fan of roughing it. I like the excitement of not knowing what’s going to happen, but I think it’s just reckless when you know you’re a beacon for trouble. If you’re feeling up to it, maybe we can spar or something sometime. I don’t have magic like you, but,” he shrugged.
He had the equivalent of a stick, but.
“I’m willing to try anything to get stronger. But you have a good night, alright?”
He raised his hand to wave and grinned. “Be safe, okay? But call if you get into trouble, I’ll come as fast as I can.”

"As long as you're sure." Frigga responded, then nodded slowly. "I've never tried my magic. I don't know what it'll do." "Be safe going home." Frigga said next, and nodded, moving to head for home themself, feeling just a bit better.
