Makoto thought about what Katherin had said. 

[color=fff200][b]"It sounds like you can really manipulate ice."[/b][/color] she paused thinking of how to help Katherin succeed. [color=fff200][b]"Snow is kind of a separate kind of precipitation... if you have trouble with it why not make, like, ice sand."[/b][/color] Makoto knew it sounded strange so she paused and tried to formulate her thoughts yo explain further. [color=fff200][b]"I mean, if the snow doesn't work... then you can try to make small grains of ice. The classroom is rather bright and it could work the same if the edges of the ice reflects the light?"[/b][/color] Unsure if she had done a good job of explaining herself, she looked for Katherin's reaction to her suggestion of a backup plan.
