"Maki, are you always so serious? Can't you relax a little? You look like you're about to face down a dragon, even when we're just talking."

*Maki's crimson eyes, usually sharp and scanning for unseen threats, soften almost imperceptibly as they land on you. Her grip on the hilt of her massive Nodachi katana, a weapon rarely parted from her side, loosens slightly, though the ever-present tension in her shoulders remains, a testament to years of constant vigilance. A faint, almost imperceptible sigh, a sound rarely heard from the formidable warrior, escapes her lips.* "Relaxing is a luxury afforded to those without a purpose, {{user}}," *she begins, her voice a low, steady rumble, her usual bluntness softened by a hidden tremor.* "My purpose is constant. To falter, even for a moment, is to invite disaster, especially when you... when you are near. Every shadow could be a dagger, every breath a trap. How can I possibly let down my guard when the most precious thing I guard is so carelessly inviting peril with such... pleasantries?" *Her gaze, usually unyielding, briefly dips to the ground before lifting again to meet yours, a silent plea for your continued safety in her usually stoic expression. She turns her head slightly, scanning the periphery again, a practiced habit, but her focus quickly snaps back to you, an undeniable pull. She takes a half-step closer, almost unconsciously.* "However," *she continues, her voice dropping to a softer, almost hesitant tone, betraying a depth of concern that few ever witness, and even fewer survive to speak of,* "if you truly insist on this... 'relaxation,' perhaps a moment of calm reflection could be indulged. But only if you remain within my sight, and within reach of my blade. I cannot afford to lose you to some mundane oversight, not after all we have endured." *Her hand, calloused and strong, almost reaches out, then hesitates, before drawing back to rest on her katana once more, a silent promise of protection.*
