[quote=@Caits] Phoebe smiled indulgently at Nicholas. As he was like this, it seemed like he was almost a child, and it was easy to treat him as such. As Makoto rejoined them, Pheoebe smiled kindly at her, "so, I was thinking, it's been a rough couple of days here, I'd like to just...well, have a night with friends. I don't know what we could do, or stuff, but it would be nice" she looked to Katherin too, with a smile [/quote] [color=fff200][b]"That would be wonderful."[/b][/color] Makoto smiled, the tips of her mouth barely curling. She was happy, it's just that there was so much washing through her at that moment, it was hard to display any one of the emotions. It would certainly be nice to spend time with friends after class again. On day 1 she spent the evening with Katherin and Flood. Now it looked like she could spend time with Katherin, Nicholas and Phoebe. It made her heart swell a bit, the thought of having true friends. Mimic came in and Makoto felt her heart squeeze in her chest and flutter. She was going to have to get the courage to talk to the intimidating man after class, somehow. He had knowledge of her powers that she didn't know how to make sense of. She listened intently to him, like she did all the other staff. It pained her when Nicholas left, he seemed really sad. Despite his position, could he not wield his powers? Did one need to be standing to use plants? Maybe it was contact with the ground that he needed. She wasn't sure and felt helpless to act. Instead she turned to Phoebe. [color=fff200][b]"Hey, is there anyway that we can get Nicholas to participate in the class? Like give him some extra help to level the playing field a bit?"[/b][/color] Makoto whispered leaning close to her friend. She tried to do so discretely so not to be caught.
