Tal had been very patient, waiting for a storm to bring lightning over the beach. He'd waited two whole days before he'd finally given up and sent a letter to Halo.
Not to anyone specific, of course. Absolutely not. They were... well, not friends, certainly! No, he sent the letter to the school, figuring that maybe Hotaru would be able to send someone his way, on the next airship to Torchline.
Someone with lightning magic.
No one specifically, of course. Anyone would do.
But with the school not yet officially open, there weren't many lightning mages to choose from yet, now were there?
And around the time he figured the round trip would be over he and Boreal headed out to the beach with their lunch to wait. Pinching pieces of crust off his sandwich he was tossing them to the birds when he noticed there were. Uh. A lot of birds. And the Hels were a lot pushier than ningo tended to be!
