But how did you guys meet? [But it sounds a bit like she's asking, what did he do? because she's known him for years now and there's always a chance something happened.]
[He'll give that Albus is a pretty fitting name for someone whose hair is as white as snow, but something about the way Minato's looking back at Kaoru suggests that he's skeptical about it- he's sure for one that Kaz would have had a field day with that name.
But who knows, really?]
I wouldn't say we met so much as he came over to my apartment because of something my friend said to him. [Pause.] It was a memorable first impression, I think... [Read: His bedroom wall has yet to be fixed to remove said 'impression' of its unlucky occupant.]
He asked for my apartment's address and teleported into my bedroom, and he yelled "What the hell is wrong with you!?" before slamming me against the wall.
[Shrug.] It didn't hurt as much as it should have, and I think my friend said something to him that he didn't like...is he always like this?
[She stares for a moment then she facepalms, but doesn't seem...very surprised. It's not exactly what she was expecting, but at the same time it's not exactly new.]
Yeah. That sounds like him.
Next time he does something like that, just tell me.
[SHE FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM AS THE ONLY OTHER PERSON FROM THEIR WORLD BESIDES SHIHO.]
[And to think he's the actual adult in this scenario...]
Guess I could. What are you going to do about him though? [Not that Minato enjoys making holes in his wall or anything, but the worst he could say about Hyoubu was that he was extraordinarily immature.]
But he's very kind to people like me. [By that she means wizar--er. People with powers.] I don't think he's a bad person, he just...it's complicated. [And it really isn't her place to explain.]
Doesn't chuunibyou usually apply to people who think they have powers? I can understand why you said that, though... [And in seeing the contrast between Kaoru and Hyoubu using their powers it's clear to him now that it's not a coincidence that he seems to favor teens with powers. Some kind of trauma related to that?]
Complicated's one way to describe him, but I don't mind that at all.
3/3

[Because with espers, 'memorable' can mean many things...even more so when the esper was one Hyoubu Kyousuke.
(Spoiler: she's thinking of something more like him showing up and claiming to be student council president levels of weird.)]

I'll deal with him.
Don't worry, my friends and I have known him since we were ten. If anyone can deal with him, it's us.
