If he likes it, that's when you surprise him and tell him it was my idea, too! Then maybe he'll like me...?
[He mutters that part under his breath. Ochako doesn't need to hear the interpersonal difficulties he has with certain coworkers...!!! Even if they're glaringly obvious.]
Simple is best! That's what I always think, when it comes to pumpkins. [He grins, turning to pour both of their drinks and leaving them to steep. The relaxed atmosphere does feel nice, even if it's going to take a lot of getting used to being seen in this form without feeling-- exposed? Vulnerable? He owes it to his students to try to be at ease with them, at the very least.
He brings the drinks over next and peeks over at her progress.] How is our Eraser-pumpkin looking? [Or maybe 'Pumpkinhead' is a catchier hero name...]
[All Might, please refer to this pumpkin as "Pumpkinhead" and watch Ochako absolutely lose her mind. It will be a true learning experience. But as he approaches, she shifts to the side so that he can see...
...Well, an effort is clearly being made? It's still a stick-ish figure, but the hair is nice and wavy, and she's definitely captured that half-lidded, I'm-too-tired-to-deal-with-this Look that he always seems to have; she's even added a capture cloth scarf and is starting to carve... a small cat sitting right by his feet. Does All Might even know that he's totally into cats? Ochako visited a cat café with him a few months ago, so she definitely does. She has All Might's back...!!]
Okay, I think! But it's not... too simple, is it? [She tilts her head a bit, squinting as she examines her work with a critical eye.] Maybe I should add some stubble...
