Experience Tumblr like never before
When the handshake was over, his hand went up to give Pino a comforting scratch. She didn't actually need the comfort, considering that the sound was due to Rody's shock, but Kirishima didn't know that. He had picked up on how Ei noticed Pino's reaction, and from his perspective he must've thought she was startled by something else.
Rody wouldn't look like a good 'pet owner' if he just ignored the bird's 'panic.' Thus, she got some nice scratches.
"Really? Geez, small world! I didn't think I would run into one of Deku's friends like this." In retrospect, Pino really did have no reason to be scared of this kind-hearted hero. "Likewise. It's even more of a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

“Uwa–whatcha got there?”
“Hey, they’re not wrong. Red suits you just as well.” He had a smug yet friendly smile plastered on his face as he gripped Red’s hand and gave it a nice shake. “Ei?” He parroted the nickname. “Nice, short, and easy to remember. Great to meet ya.” Rody still struggled with Japanese names from time to time, so he was grateful for the shorter option.
Pino squawked much to Rody’s embarrassment, even if he didn’t show it. The brunette was taken aback by the sudden question and the sudden mention of Deku.
“I... do.” There was really only one reasonable explanation he could think of. “You must be one of his hero friends then? From UA?” Wait- did that mean Deku talked about him to his friends? How much did that nerd say?

Yeah, he definitely meant well. That smile had warmth and kindness behind it. Pino warmed up to the new acquaintance a bit, giving a bright chirp in response. It was nice to meet him too!
"Oh, right." Pino fluttered up to rest on Rody's shoulder. "The name's Rody. Rody Soul." He extended a hand out to the other. "What about you, spiky?"

As much as the cute comment was appreciated, the sight of the sharp teeth caused Pino to scoot back ever so slightly. ...Are his teeth part of his quirk?
"Her name is Pino. She might be a little shy at the moment." Scared was more like it, but Rody was sure that the redhead meant well and didn't want to make him feel bad.

Rody squinted at the redhead before pulling out the bird that he totally wasn't hiding.
"Dunno. That's up to you; what do you think?"
There she was in his hands. Out in the open.

“Nothing.”
“No small pink birds here whatsoever.”
