[ It's quite something, isn't it? The contrast between what the other said earlier - the words that were almost an accusation, despite the tone not necessarily matching them - and now the reassurance once more, coupled with the way Makima doesn't just let go of Chizuru's hand the moment it's no longer necessary to hold it the way most people might.
It's not really something that makes Chizuru suspicious though, or even something she minds, but it does throw her for a loop for a moment, staring at Makima like she's trying to decide what she should say here.
There's a faint nod at those last words, at least, like she wants to believe that someone who could say them so confidently really would let nothing happen to her. But rather than verbally following up on it, Chizuru can't help but instead speak up with a question that rises slowly to the top of her mind. ]
Do you.. do this more often?
[ She seems weirdly experienced, after all. Or maybe it's just the way Makima takes it all in so calmly. ]
Um, I mean-- dealing with dangerous situations, or guiding people..
[ Because something about her attitude in regards to the last definitely makes Chizuru think of the Shinsengumi captains from back home. ]
