Honestly it's really cute that they get along so well; Shrike was terrified, honestly, because of how the Shrike-Sekhmet-Kohime thing went, but she's been really delighted, especially since at first she found Maki intimidating but actually they have a lot in common.
Like Griffin, Shrike has a lot of family baggage—her family was present but bad, and now that she has a sense of family with avante, she has a bit of an impulse to pass it on to people who seem like they need it. And, ahaha, Shrike is always so relieved in a weird sort of way when someone else has weird murder & emotions feelings, since otherwise she just sits there hating herself, but she has trouble hating other people, so it weirdly helps her bootstrap into better self-esteem.
I'm looking forward to them hanging out more, and god, please Maki give Shrike love advice, she's all right at the basics but she has such a confidence problem and also a lot of hastily papered-over emotional problems,
