( Aqua decides to keep this short and sweet. It's obvious by now that she isn't returning home any time soon. However, when the time does come for her to leave as others have, she wants to be prepared for it. )

Good evening.

I was wondering if anyone here may have been looking for a sparring partner -- or, if anyone has one, if they wouldn't mind someone else to practice with. My strength is in my magic, if that's something that others want to consider.

Furthermore, I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this world that hasn't been recorded in any of the books here. The more that we know, the better chance that we may be able to solve the mystery of how we can all return home.

... And, finally... I was wondering if there were any places in particular away from the town that others enjoy visiting. Any place that seems peaceful would be wonderful.

Thank you in advance.

- Aqua.

I've yet to see any monsters for myself here, but... I've heard about how powerful they truly are.

I'm not expert on either, but... at the last -- a part of sparring is to practice.

You must still be pretty new then. Some of them are, but most have been pretty easy to deal with. Just don't go attack them carelessly, sometimes it just makes it worse.

It is, and I wouldn't mind showing a little either, and you can teach me what you know.

[lightblooming]

Yes, I am. It's only been a couple of weeks since I first arrived here. Though, I know that underestimating any opponent, whether they seem weak or not, can lead to defeat.

( Aqua offers a small smile at that. ) That sounds like a plan. At the least - I know that we can learn from one another through sparring in general.

[thunderingcourage]

Alright, if there's anything else you need too just let me know. I have a bakery and floral shop in the Cellar Door district.

A bakery and a floral shop? It sounds like you have your hands full.

( Still, her voice is soft. )

But... I'll keep that in mind. Thank you. May I have your name?

[thunderingcourage]

It's been a handful, but Snow has been a huge help. And everyone's been really kind and supportive.

Oh, I'm Makoto Kino. It's a pleasure to meet you Aqua.

[lightblooming]

Snow helping out in a shop like that sounds like something she'd be happy to do.

It's nice to meet you too, Makoto. I'm sure that we'll have a chance to speak again soon.

[thunderingcourage]

She seems to be, though occasionally there are special orders that I have to take care of on my own.

(Makoto generally avoided having apples around, but Apple pies were something that a lot of people asked about at times.)

Alright. Talk to you soon.
