There's not much acting to be done on Mai's part. She's the queen of apathetic expression and blank faces. A slight frown and she's wearing the expression most of those rabid Crown of Thorns' fans know well. She keeps her head bent some, letting the shade of her hood provide shadow and thus perhaps leave her somewhat more menacing.

Now it's Mai's turn to provide the backbeat in long strokes of her bow. It's a bit like dueling through music and she's keen on keeping her sound as heavy, powerful and seductive as she can.
