[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.]

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!
Seventh Heaven
Ah... are any of these alcohol?
Seventh Heaven
I... do not know! Most of these drinks were poured blindly.
Seventh Heaven
[oh my god, who hired you]
Then I'll start with this one. [Going for one that looks distinctly recognisable as juice.]
Seventh Heaven
Very well! I hope you enjoy it!
Seventh Heaven
Importantly, it also tastes safe to drink. >.>]
This one is delicious.
Seventh Heaven
Seventh Heaven
Which one is the soda?
[She may as well humour him. Perhaps she'll like it.]
Seventh Heaven
Seventh Heaven
It bites.
Seventh Heaven
How dare you!
[Then he grabs it, hops over to the nearest open window and tosses it out there.]
Seventh Heaven
......
.......
......
...did that really just happen]
I...thank you for the defence, but Rin might be upset you broke a bottle...
Seventh Heaven
Seventh Heaven
I'm not harmed, Lee. I rather meant the taste was quite biting. It...had bubbles in it. I've never had something like it before.

Seventh Heaven
I HAVE FAILED! THAT GLASS WAS DESTROYED IN VAIN, AND I AM ENTIRELY AT FAULT!

/crickets
How on earth can you even exist, Lee.]
Seventh Heaven
I would think... that to err when attempting to protect someone from harm is forgivable.
[It's the best she can offer. Maybe she should have lunch elsewhere from now on >_>;; Between Lee and Vash this is hardly a peaceful place for a meal.]
Seventh Heaven
You really think so, Makie-san? [He says as he looks up with tears in his eyes.] Thank you. I shall reduce my retribution to running only seven hundred laps around the village later.
Seventh Heaven
Surely, your retribution could best be served merely by replacing the glass?
Seventh Heaven
That is true! It would be a most noble mission... Perhaps I can find a replacement at the item shop! Or research how to create such a glass myself...
Seventh Heaven
