"Resigned":Allura walked into her room and yawned, today was definitely tiring for her with the new friends, if she was able to call them that yet, she happened to make along with the beating Makino gave her. She got changed out of her uniform and got into a quick shower, changing into her night clothes after, which consisted of a pale blue tank top that went a bit above her belly button and a pair of shorts.
She put on some tea and started to stretch as she waited for it to be done, wincing as she did so, a thought going through her mind, I definitely need to try harder, I'm not letting anyone get the better of me like that again. She mumbled a bit out loud for the next part, "Even if they end up being a friend or not." She stood and rolled her shoulders, managing to get them to pop and a smile of relief showed on her face.
She went to get the tea once it was done and made herself a glass. While drinking her tea, her thoughts went back to what had happened in class, what was said and what was done. All of it swirling in her mind but her fight with Makino kept creeping back into her mind, she cursed her one track mind and how no matter what was happening one thing would remain.
A few minutes passed and she resigned to asking Makino for help, even if that wasn't the type of person she was, Allura knew she could not improve unless she had someone to help her and maybe even train her out of focusing so singularly.
She finished up her tea and turned out all the lights in her room and headed to her bed, collapsing on it with a sigh and turning over to look at her ceiling. Slowly she fell asleep, all of her pains turning to a dull ache as she rested.

"A Girls' Outing":Allura finished cleaning up the mess off of her floor and putting away clothes where they needed to go. She checked the time and went to check on the food, it had a few more minutes to go before it was done and Makino would be here eventually.
She took a moment to sit and breathe since she had been working on cleaning up since she asked to hang out and for Makino to come over, she rested her head against the back of the couch when she heard a knock on the door, instead of getting up she just called out, "It's open!"

Makino opened the door walking in seeing Allura resting on the couch, the room smelling like dinner and cleaning supplies. She chuckled softly, "you did not have to clean for me." She looked around the room as she closed the door behind her.
"But it looks nice." She inhaled again, "and smells really good, even the food. Can I help with anything?"

Allura opened one eye and laughed quietly, "Actually I was meaning to clean anyways. I'm bad at keeping my room clean and this place was a disaster. By the way I'm making sukiyaki, it doesn't have as many ingredients as normal because it's only the two of us, but yeah." She sat up and crossed her legs underneath her.
"By the way, I had a question for you." Nervousness was apparent in her voice, as if she was going to back out of asking her question.

Makino smiled walking over and taking a set in the chair across from her. "That's fine I am not picky."
She got comfortable and looked over at Allure hearing her tone change placing a touch of anxiety in it. “Is everything alright, Allura?”

"Well, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me with my sparring? I'm fine at Kido and everything else but my sparring needs a lot of work, as you saw." She smiled sheepishly, showing a more 'insecure' side of herself.
Allura got quiet for a moment then continued with what she was saying, "I mainly thought to ask you because you're the only one I talk to and the only one I can trust not to brutalize me." She ended up giggling at the last part.

Makino was shocked for a moment, no one had ever ask her for her help like this before. It actually felt really good as a warm feeling filled her up here eyes were wide with surprise. "Real-" she shook her head then blurted out. "Yeah!" Quickly she collected herself giggling softly.
"Sure I could do that. Is it just Hand to Hand your looking for or Sword training to?" She felt like this was a step in the right direction for their friendship and she was feeling very excited.

Allura thought for a moment then shrugged, "I'm pretty good at it. I had some practice before I ever came here, but getting extra practice won't hurt any." She smiled again, her smile almost turning into a grin.
She jumped up when the timer went off and headed to the kitchen and turned off the burners, "It's done."

Makino stood and walked into the kitchen where Allura was now at. Walking over she helped her get the plates and stuff for dinner ready as she got the food to the table. "Well I can help you there, but I should warn you, and please don't speak of this to any others."
She turned and looked at Allura as she walked back over to the counter. Makino felt safe in telling her about her training. She was sure it would be safe with Allura. "I was trained as an assassin. So if you feel what I am teaching you is a little out there--Please tell me."

Allura thought for a moment then nodded, "It'll be alright. I trust that anything you'd show me would be useful at some point anyways."
She put some food into a plate and handed it to Makino, "Add whatever else you want." Allura took a plate for herself then sat down after getting whatever she could fit onto her plate.

Makino nodded slowly, "I will give you that. As I was being trained I wondered why I was being taught that." She sat down at the table across from Allura. "Come to find out it helped me in a few areas while I was on mission."
"Exactly. And hell, it'll especially help with what I plan on doing." Allura's eyes sort of had a blankness to them as she thought and took a bite of her food, "Then again it's hard to know much about that division anyways."
Makino titled her head slightly, "what division you wanting to get into, Allura?"

"Well, since I found out about it the Kido Corps has interested me. They work a lot in private and they are rarely seen and just kind of go about everything in a manor that I admire."
Allura looked at Makino for a second, "But because it's hard for me to focus on more than one thing at once I'll have to work my butt off to even be considered let alone be part of it. That's just something I'll have to try and work past I guess."

"Division Five for me." Makino took a drink of her water as she nodded slowly. "And we will get you there. You said you were good at Kido. So it won't take much." She took another bite and looked over to Allura once more.
"May I ask your level with your Kido spells?"

"I'm more of a practitioner at this stage, I just get a little mixed up sometimes." Allura shrugged, "But I'm working on it, it just takes me trying to focus better."
Nodding again Makino took another bite she chewed taking a drink then spoke. "Well I can't blame you. The chants are rather long winded for some of the spells."
"I can do a few without any incantations." Allura grinned over her achievement, since until now she had no one to talk to about it.

"That's good. How strong are they for you, without the incantation?" Makino ask her as she stood to go get a napkin, then made her way back to the table. She sat back down and waited for Allura to answer.
Allura took a sip of her drink, "Some of them are pretty strong. Others definitely need work. Thats why I spend most of my time studying."
Makino nodded slowly then raised her eyes looking at Allura once more with a wide smile. "When do you want to start? This weekend is bad because they got something going on in the Kido training field, but I do know a place we can go to do this. IF you want to get this going A.S.A.P, it will have everything we need."
