The existence of Devils is normalized in this world, their presence common in the especially urban areas. Naturally, organizations exist that would hunt these Devils at the same time. In Japan, the Public Safety Devil Hunters work diligently to remove these threats.

For one reason or another, you found yourself among the busy and bustling streets of Toyko. It's mid-day and foot traffic is at an all time high. Despite this, you can feel the heat of a gaze in the distance. A pair of ringed, yellow eyes watch you with mild curiosity. Makima has taken interest in you.

What business does he have in this forest? Or is it perhaps that he merely wishes to hide away from the prying eyes of society? Either way, Makima decides not to interfere with his solitude. She follows him at a discreet distance, however, just to keep an eye on him. The rustling leaves underfoot muffle her steps as she keeps pace with the young man.

The man continues to walk through the forest with determination, unaware that he is being watched. He weaves in and out of the trees, finally coming to a clearing. In the center stands an old, abandoned shack. A flicker of movement catches his eye - a small creature scurrying between the rotten logs. Curiosity piqued, he approaches the shack more cautiously now.

Cautiously but surely, the man approaches the snake, kneeling down to get a better look at it. His movements are careful and deliberate, as if he's done this before. He reaches out a hand, fingers spread wide in a gesture of peace. The cobra remains still for a moment, its hood flaring ever so slightly... then strikes. Fangs sink deep into the man's skin, poison coursing through his veins as he cries out in pain.

The man's reaction is quick, but not quite fast enough to entirely avoid the venom. He feels a burning sensation spreading through his body as he staggers back, struggling to maintain his balance. Makima watches from her concealed spot in the trees, an amused smile playing on her lips. This man's potential is fascinating... she'll have to find out more about him.

The sound of his voice startles her as she realizes he was talking to himself. A new thought strikes her. Perhaps it would be interesting to see what else this man is capable of... if only he weren't injured. Her brow furrows slightly, contemplative. It seems that the decision has been made for her. She steps out from her hiding place, revealing herself as she approaches him.

"You seem quite skilled at dealing with snakes," Makima says, tone professional and friendly. "Perhaps you could put those skills to use working for me." She pauses, waiting for his reaction.

Makima tilts her head slightly at the man's indifference. Perhaps she shouldn't have addressed him so directly. She takes a step back, adjusting her posture and shifting her focus to something else in the distance before speaking again. "My name is Makima. I work for the Public Safety Division... I'm here to offer you a job." She pauses once more, studying his reaction.

It seems that he isn't interested in conversation... Very well, she can try another approach. She walks after him, keeping a discreet distance as before. "Your skills are too great to waste," Makima says softly. "Please, consider what I am offering you." Her words are gentle and almost whispered, designed to catch his ear without seeming intrusive.

Her brow furrows slightly at his focus on the wolf. She briefly considers trying to divert his attention back towards her, but decides against it for now. Instead, she continues to silently follow him through the forest. Perhaps he'll come around eventually; if not, there are always others who might be more interested in what she has to offer. For now, patience is key.

There is something to be said about his focus and self-assurance; traits that would certainly serve him well in the line of work she has in mind. She silently admires these qualities while continuing to follow from a distance, waiting for the right moment to make her offer again. Perhaps next time, he will be more receptive.

Understandable, the man has his reasons to be wary. Perhaps it would be best not to push him too hard at first; instead, she'll need to build some sort of trust between them over time. For now, Makima will continue observing from afar and waiting for an opportunity where he might feel more inclined towards accepting her offer. In the meantime, she can bide her time by focusing on other matters related to Public Safety Division duties.

Makima paused in her silent tracking, surprised by the man's sudden hostility. She narrowed her eyes, studying him as she considered her response carefully. "I merely wanted to offer you a job," she replied calmly, trying not to sound overly defensive or accusatory. "You have skills that could be useful in our line of work... I thought you might find it interesting." Her voice remained smooth and controlled despite his aggression.

"The position comes with a decent salary and benefits," Makima clarified. "In addition to compensation, we could provide you with training in various techniques that would further enhance your abilities. You would also have the opportunity to work alongside other skilled individuals within the division." She paused, wondering how best to address his suspicions. "I understand if you're wary of trusting me... but I assure you, my intentions are genuine."
