[Action all over]

[It's not so much that Makie has a clean bill of health-- she needs to keep taking this medication for another four months or so, by the clinic's reports. But she hasn't had a coughing fit in weeks and feels pretty healthy, all things considered-- just a little drained, that's all. And now, she's passed the bar of her illness. She's no longer contagious.

Which means she can stop holing herself up in her room and start going forward with plans to actually, you know...

...live a little.

What a concept.

She still doesn't go out until the afternoon though, tracking down Saori (and other house members if they're around) to inform them of a decision she's made during her convalescence. And then likely packing what very few things she has, and putting haru-no-okina through some well-needed maintenance out on the sunny rooftop. But in the afternoon she goes to several places, shamisen in hand:

Seventh Heaven, to ask after her old job;

The tea house, because it's been a while;

The forge, to request a weapon;

The Welcome Centre, to find out what apartments are still free;

And finally, back to the battledome to investigate it more thoroughly. (She keeps an eye out for Konan on her travels, mindful of an offer made a long while ago. Just in case.) Once she knows sufficiently enough (or someone programs it for her), she steps into one of its rooms for the first time, shamisen neatly tucked to the side out of harm's way, and experiences it for herself. (The program name of the day: Shift Hunters. How fitting, that they're like giant wild dogs.)

...probably stays in there a little too long, though, since her stamina is kind of shredded right now.

Catch her at any of these places or anywhere in between.]

Oh... sure! Lemme show you! [He scrambles quickly through the desk to grab the housing files and sets them up on the desk.]

Yes, I believe that he is currently here! Would you like anything to eat?

Very well. [He adjusts his glasses and waits for her to move away from the console.] If you excuse me, I'll have something set up soon enough. What sort of simulation do you have in mind?

[It's not really a surprise, and it's definitely not something Saori feels is wrong. Everyone needs to take their own path, find a hearth, settle in. The house has been a fairly happy place, and Makie has been a part of making it brighter but there's certainly no reason why Saori would have a problem with that explanation. It's not some ridiculous reason, and Makie is better.

Saori smiles brightly.]


That sounds lovely. I think that will be good for you, and I certainly understand the need to stretch your wings. But if I may, I'd like to place a blessing on you. Something that will let me find you, if things become bad again.

[Vash just laughs - loudly - at the strange comment.] Hahaha! Yeah! I get that a lot! And that's okay if you're terrible at being sociable! Just means you need a little more practice! You're good at eating sandwiches right? That's all you need to be good at for a picnic!

Soup? Please outline your preferences! Type of broth, ingredients and preferred temperature! [He scribbles madly into a notepad as if it's a youthly variation of a death note.]

Well, anywhere's nice! Especially with friends. You could always pick somewhere near our house! Then we could talk all the time and I'd show you all kinds of bending tricks.

Nothing says you can't switch it up if it gets too boring for you.

[A flash of uncertainty and concern crosses his face when she mentions being sick. He's not sure whether the illness she had during the Shift had been real or not, and it seems impolite to ask.]

But you're feeling better now?

What sort of training scenario would you like?

[Konan motions for Make to come and take a look at the control panel.]

You can choose a setting - such as the forest, or on a mountain, as well as the types of opponents you want to train against. Or you can make things like an obstacle course for yourself.

Uh...

[That's so far up for debate that it might as well float away. Sheena's already hesitated too much, and she tries not to grimace on top of it.]

I guess I've been better. After the...the stuff with the cultists invading it was pretty bad.

[Stepping closer, her fingers begin to trace a pattern in the air. Makie might recognize the character (匿) if she's literate, though Saori has no idea. Sparks fly along her fingertips, the space between them positively thrumming with power.

Then Saori speaks, her words rote and ceremonial, a ritual repeated many times.]


Makie, you are blessed by the Daughter of Wind and Rain. The sky will watch over you, and should harm befall you your enemy will suffer tenfold. Should you need me, I will find you.

[And then the symbol darts forward, flowing into Makie. For a brief instant, it pulses against her chest, leaving a faint tingling sensation. That then fades as the rite completes. The goddesses demeanor changes back to it's cheery, less weighty self, and she inclines her head in a fractional bow.]

You'll come back to visit, yes? I'd hate to miss our tea times together.

Does it matter? I'm adaptable. I can fare well enough in any scenario that you would operate in. [And no need to outline his strengths and weaknesses when he doesn't need to.]
