Absolutely, of course, I am immediately affording you the UTMOST protection," she vowed, although she found it kind of difficult to believe that a creature of his size needed much assistance at all. If anything, he might need a guide out of this forest. When he grinned and told her that he was being taught sword fighting, Makara let out a strangled noise of surprise. The idea of a creature that huge having a weapon in his mouth made her feel a bit nervous, but he seemed nice enough - and if Artorias and Briar were his parents, he probably had a sweet enough disposition. Right? "That seems really difficult," she conceded at least, "I couldn't imagine trying to hold on to something with my mouth when I'm trying to fight - I'd knock my own teeth out, for sure! Or cut my leg off, or trip over the whole thing."

"Oh! Yes, yes, the other continent," she said. Makara did find geography fascinating, even if she'd never quite been very far from home. Well, not very far at all - not yet! Mak vowed that one day she'd see Auster with her own eyes. "My official patrol duty will now be escorting you, Zephyrus!" Mak decided, "and you'll have to tell me all about the journey here. Rode in a cart? Did you not fly? What route did you chose - do you recall any landmarks? Fun bodies of water?" She began a running stream of questions, peering up at him as she stepped closer.
