Makishima grunted as his back hit the boulder. He was worried for a moment that Reno was going to yell at him, tell him not to apologize and that it didn't matter they were done, but that wasn't what happened.

He had no idea what an "elfadunk" was but he was about to find out. Makishima's already pale face had gone even paler at Reno's caution. He was scared, terrified in fact, but seeing that concern mingled with so much hurt and anger in Reno's gaze sobered him. He'd gotten himself into a mess, but Reno was going to be here to protect him. He could have been with him back home too, but Makishima really had made a terrible mistake. Dammit, he was such an idiot!

He mentally cursed himself, distracted until he heard Reno taunt the creatures and despite Reno's warning Makishima was rushing around the edge of the boulder to try and help if he could. Too bad he was extremely out of his league. Thankfully he recognized it and could only stare with wide eyes as he watched Reno fight. He was good. It looked like one of the Chinese kung-fu movies his brother liked so much, only far more rough and tumble. Reno was amazing.
