[He had sequestered himself a corner of the reading archives where he was amassing a stack of books half his height he planned to read in however long of a span of time they were given to remain in Amegahara. He'd been wandering the archives sporadically as his joints would cramp up from sitting still for too long, gathering a few other books to add to the pile as he went. This particular wander through the shelves he had four under one arm, another open as he walked, and he stopped short passing one shelf to backpedal at a familiar mop of green hair in his peripheral vision.]
[He rerouted and folded his book closed, crossing the aisle to his classmate.]
I won't lie and say I'm surprised to find you here, Midoriya.
[Jumpy shrub. Tenya taps the spine of his closed book against his friend's shoulder.]
Precisely-- there is so much to learn here, and who knows how much time we'll have to absorb the information. I propose we attempt to divide and conquer.
[He hums in thought, tapping the spine of the book he bonked Izuku's shoulder with against his chin for a moment.]
I'm a bit predictable and many of the books I've already sequestered are in relation to mechanics and engines, though I did grab a few historical texts as well, just to get a better idea of these people and perhaps how they relate to Lunatia as a whole... I really ought to take a page from your book and take notes, since these aren't books we can keep.
[Listen, he has a theme and he's sticking to it, okay. He waves a hand, frowning slightly.]
I wouldn't want to mark up your notetaking with my own, wouldn't it be confusing to suddenly have someone else's notes in them? I should likely focus a bit more on culture and history myself...
[There's a very long pause wherein Iida seems to come to a realization.]
...Midoriya-kun, [He's mentally going through a checklist, holding one hand out flat, then the book in his other hand, and finally he looks up at the ceiling for a while.]
...I have missed your birthday!! [Volume, Tenya, this is effectively a library.]
[He lowers his voice, but steps closer and grips onto his book with both hands.]
Midoriya-kun, I don't think you realize the impact you have had on our class as a whole. To have forgotten something as important as your birthday-- that makes you seventeen now, doesn't it?
[ Oh my goodness Tenya please chill - Izuku looks somewhere between embarrassed and unsure. For all he wants to be a hero, he doesn't really...volunteer himself for the spotlight? He wasn't even that comfortable being class president for like two seconds even though he'd initially put his name forth. ]
Um...well, yes, it's seventeen. But everyone has been pretty busy -
[Can't stop won't stop not sure how to stop. He makes a sort of... stressed face, sets his book down, and reaches out carefully, setting both hands on Izuku's shoulders.]
Then at least allow me to belatedly tell you Happy Birthday.
[Izuku he wants to sHAKE YOU let people celebrate you, dang, child. He inhales, squeezes his friend's shoulders, and lets go, standing straight again.]
Still. ...ah, do you plan to stay here to read or would you like to accompany me? [Back to his corner of horrible engine books.]

But he startles like he's shocked to see Iida there, even though the same is true of the class president. ]
Iida-kun! Well, it's a rare opportunity - I mean, who knows when we'll be back here?
forgets the honorific like a tool
Precisely-- there is so much to learn here, and who knows how much time we'll have to absorb the information. I propose we attempt to divide and conquer.

Sure! Did you have a preference what section you take, Iida-kun?
