Makoto always goes to the Bay this time of month to look for people from home (none this month, alas) and to help newcomers get settled in. Not to mention she visits the spring regularly outside of that to relax and train her own magic.

But as she tries to take a deep breath and focus on the earth so she can summon rocks to throw at a dummy (lightning is still her strongest element, of course, and earth one of her weakest), she catches something out of the corner of her eye. Or rather... someone.

So after a while, Gandra will see a human girl approach, tall and muscular despite her youth... and with bear made of jade green lightning strolling at her side.

"Hey. Your name's not Gandra Dee, is it?"
