She blinked at him. Her, confidence? If she had been the type of tough, sharp girls that Maki see on television all the time, she would have snorted and asked him where he saw her confidence. But, of course, she didn't. She was just confused. Him asking whether she'd like him to write a letter of recommendation only added even more to the confusion. Had she really been... that good? But despite her confusion, she found herself smiling, eyes twinkling away. "Yes please! That would be wonderful. Thank you so much," She wasn't so sure herself whether she was just being polite, or if she really did want this recommendation.
He looks cute when he grins, Maki wondered thoughtfully to herself, not noticing the silence that the other staff members suddenly had upon seeing his grin. Of course, he was still scary in her eyes. But at least he was smiling at her, and not scowling. "Yup, Maki desu. I'm not really that good, but thanks."
