MAEA
She paused as he called after her. Turned slightly, and watched him over her shoulder as he came trudging towards her through the muck. The casual laziness had gone from her and she remained distant, cool and on edge until the boy caught up. Only then did she turn, and turned pale eyes upon him in a long, scrutinizing stare.
Then those same eyes looked up, and narrowed at the sight of the gore-crows. They had followed the boy, and did not even try to hide. The croaking frogs quieted in their wake, as if holding their breath until danger had passed. The blood-thirst in the birds was almost palpable.
"I accept your apology," came her quiet reply, as she returned her attention to the boy. "This Mother Molly's... is it in Stormbreak? I don't know of it, but if that is where you live, perhaps I might escort you part of the way? The Feverlands isn't safe at night."
Nudging her coat aside, Maea withdrew her dagger and offered it to the boy, hilt first. "Here, take this. Even if you do not want company, you should keep it. Just to be safe."
