"I think I'll take yo up on that offer, Daler. I'm sure Clarebelle would benefit too," Mako replied to Daler's offer, taking a brief moment to concentrate on thinking the sentence 'Thank you for extending a hand. I feel like I'm going to need some help with this one.'

Mako then looked up. Her fellow teacher, and, in a way, friend, had arrived and had asked for everyone's attention. Finally, she'd be back in her office soon.

Mako and Asa's relationship began pretty much as soon as Mako first arrived. Back then, students would often get the two mixed up because at the time they had similar hairstyles, and the same warm motherly vibe. Mako, over time, had changed her hairstyle multiple times, relaxed into her position so she was no longer in 'teacher 101' mode but found her own unique methods and style, and had garnered her fearsome reputation as a teacher you don't even want to make lower her voice even once, as opposed to the drill sergeant shouting of an angry Aso on an almost daily basis. They occasionally had a friendly conversation in passing but had never met outside of school hours. Then again, Aso was a good girl, but once she clocked out, Mako liked to party, so maybe that was for the best.
