Makki was glad to see some at his table were just as excited as he was for the pro-bending. Though he tried not to let it show, he was bouncing inside, itching to start the first day of practice though he still needed a team. He eyed the others at his table, of those closest, there was a perfect team, element wise anyway though when he looked at Jinto, he reconsidered. Makki was not sure if he wanted someone so serious on the team. Turning back to his meal, he chewed slowly as he considered everyone he would like to be on a team with. There were some nice firebenders around, and some airbenders that he enjoyed the company of. He even thought about what an all waterbender team would be like.
"We'd lose against any one with an earthbender..." He murmured to himself.
The team would need at least an earthbender and Ellfen seemed more than eager to get into the ring and her being an earthbender, or rather sandbender and her winning attitude would make a good addition to any team.
"You don't really think you will be allowed to sandbend in the arena, do you?" Makki asked with a raise eyebrow, "If I can't use ice, then I doubt sand will be allowed, or lightning for that matter."
"Of course I'll be joining! Who wouldn't want to?" he said loudly, "And if you're looking for a team..."
Makki gave an exaggerated gesture to indicate himself. He reached forward and took a leg that looked something akin to a grasshopper but much, much larger. He was surprised to find that the shell was soft and easy to peel away from the meat and he dug in.
"The tadpoles to look a little skittish, don't they." He said, following Ellfen's gaze.
Makki stared at Suzune when she sent food flying via spinning plate. He made a note to keep a hand on the edge of his plate from then on. He could not believe she was complaining about having too many choices, it was the point of a school and it was exciting to be able to specialize.
"Would you rather be forced into classes you don't like." He inquired, "Like last year? I couldn't stand Politics!"
Politics and Diplomacy had been his least favorite class. Makki found it boring and a waste of time for him, especially since he hadn't understood half of what Miss Lea had said though it had been nice to have a waterbender as the teacher. She had been more than happy to offer extra help with his forms when Gua was too cranky.
"Do you think Headmaster Saigei will coach a team?" Makki asked, glancing at the elderly man. The water tribe boy had developed a deep respect for the man during his tuesday pai sho lessons, and even more so when he proved himself an excellent and very capable fighter.

Hello!
I am Syl, a non-binary person from Canada!
I have years of roleplay experience spread over various sites. I was here before the big wipe happened and enjoyed the community. I've come back after several years to rekindle my love for writing and roleplay. I can and will play most most genders, however I prefer my main character to be NB or a man.
I also have experience in D&D as a DM and so have experience creating settings, plots, and diverse characters.

I've always leaned towards Argonians...immune to poison, breathing underwater and whatnot. It's all just so useful~
Not much had changed in the last year at the school. The veteran students had already seated themselves and most talked idly while the first years filed into the main hall where the welcoming speech and dinner were about to go underway. Makki eyed Master Gua as he tried his best to intimidate the younger students into behaving properly. The waterbender found his grumpy attitude draining and training under him almost everyday had made his first year almost unbearable. If it was not for the friends he had made and his ever present yearning for knowledge, Makki thought he would have dropped out.
"Good thing he doesn't know who pulled that Elbow Leech stunt last year." Makki said to the few at his table. He absently twirled his finger above his class of water, turning his attention to the vortex he was creating. He almost wished he was still in the North Pole with the rest of his family. Almost. There was no doubt in his mind that he liked being in the frozen north but there was only so much he could learn there. The Lion Turtle Bending School offered everything from instruction in the bending arts to worldly subjects such as diplomacy and history. Being his second year, Makki would be specializing in a select few subjects though he was still debating on which classes he would attend.
When the headmaster stepped forward to begin,the room fell into an eerie silence. The speech was similar to the year before, welcoming, polite, engaging and short. Makki fixed his eyes on Saigei, there was a flicker of something in his eyes, worry perhaps? Making a mental note to inquire as to what was wrong, Makki leaned forward in his seat before jumping up with an excited yell for the announcement pertaining to the pro-bending arena. He quickly reseated himself, tuning out the rest of the announcements as he imagined knocking opponents off the arena. He could already see himself with a winning team at a championship.
The appearance of food snapped Makki from his imaginings and he quickly selected a variety of Northern Water Tribe dishes to put on his plate. As he ate, Makki took the chance to look at the first years. They looked ordinary enough, each sporting the clothing style of his or her element or home. They looked out of place in a sea of familiar faces and he wondered if any of them would make a pro-bending team. He expected not, they were new and did not know the styles of fighting the second years had learned and so they would be at a big disadvantage. Makki's eyes settled on a long haired brunette sitting among the first years. His first thought was how attractive she was, that is, until he saw her neck and what appeared to be a betrothal necklace. "A shame." he said under his breath. He turned his icy eyes to those at his table and smiled widely.
"Anyone planning to join a pro-bending team?" He asked, looking from face to face.
