[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 well here, have a bow back because courtesy. She's less irreverent about it than the mun is. >>]

Yes. I've been... busy for a while. [For some reason she can't bring herself to say 'ill' - she's sort of wary of the reaction that might follow.] But I thought I might come by today. Is Rin here?

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

Please. Some soup would be lovely.

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.]

[...Lee who put you on customer duty. Help. Mind...blanking... uh...]

Beef... I'm sure I trust the kitchen staff's judgment on contents and temperature.

Very well! [He salutes.] I shall report your order to the chefs immediately. Please take a seat!

[He proceeds to backflip and rush to the kitchen.

...At least he's managed to learn how to do that without disrupting any of the tables.]

[...she's not sure whether to be impressed or horrified. But you know, not actually disturbing anyone else by doing so is pretty good. Even if a couple of people are shaking their heads as he goes past.

Oh well, at least it's just Lee. Makie takes a seat gracefully and rests her feet. And hopes he doesn't backflip when he comes back with the soup >_>]

[He rushes back quickly and gives a bow.]

Your meal is being prepared. Is there anything else you'd like? A beverage? Do you need additional napkins or utensils?

A...beverage. [She looks thoughtful. And he's so eager--] Can you suggest one?

Well, it would depend on your tastes! Perhaps you would like a soda?

I'm not even sure what a soda is.

Ah! Then...

[He runs off to the kitchen.]

[...

...okay she's not sure if that bodes well or not. Guess she's trying a soda.]

[Yes. But not just that.

Lee comes out a minute later, shakily holding a tray full of half-filled glasses. There is one cup for every beverage they have in stock. He places it on the table proudly.]

Now, Makie-san... You can sample every beverage and find your preference!

[...oh goodness. She stares at it with an utterly bewildered sort of look.] Isn't that wasteful?

Ah... are any of these alcohol?

Do not worry, Makie-san. I will ensure that any untasted beverage does not go to waste.

I... do not know! Most of these drinks were poured blindly.

I...see.

[oh my god, who hired you]

Then I'll start with this one. [Going for one that looks distinctly recognisable as juice.]

[And Lee just watches eagerly.]

Very well! I hope you enjoy it!

[Oh, this tastes rather sweet. Like a mix of orange and mango.

Importantly, it also tastes safe to drink. >.>]

This one is delicious.

Is that so?! Such a juice... Is that your final decision?

[Well...]

Which one is the soda?

[She may as well humour him. Perhaps she'll like it.]

Ah... [He looks around the bottles and then shuffles them so that one that seems to have soda in it is closest.] There you go!

[She takes the bottle and tries a little sip. And then pulls back as if it bit her with a startled look.]

It bites.

[Rock Lee shouts at the bottle.]

How dare you!

[Then he grabs it, hops over to the nearest open window and tosses it out there.]

[........
......
.......

......

...did that really just happen]

I...thank you for the defence, but Rin might be upset you broke a bottle...
