Makkuro's Links
Makkuro finds Hakushuu to be very amusing, and enjoys getting him to do what they say. Yes, he is very competent when fighting and doing their job, but his loud demeanor reminds Makkuro of a jester, so they can't help but laugh whenever Hakushuu gets into trouble
Hakushuu first thought that Makkuro is too dainty to be a subordinate of the prince, but was proven absolutely wrong after a sparring. He's extremely impressed by Makkuro's effectiveness as a fighter, but is wary of the way they go about their business.
