A lot of things had happened on their way from Kings End to what Ronin realised, eventually, was the Greatwood. There was that whole thing with the moth man which, you know, weird, and in the following days it has been difficult to concentrate with the dazzling sun overhead. (And fireflies are so interesting when they come out at night, in a way Ronin has never appreciated before). RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you. |

Maeve
The travel, all things considered, hasn't been bad. They did well together. Between the two of them they were always able to find food, fresh water, and a safe-ish place to rest in the evenings. Now, Maeve didn't typically care about people's alignments with gods. It wasn't something she personally involved herself in, but what other people chose to do was up to them. Except those people weren't Safrin's bitch. Which Ronin was. So things had been interesting. Especially when he was suddenly able to produce a cloud for them to travel on.
Something Maeve is really not used to. She didn't think herself scared of heights before, but she had never ridden on a cloud before. Her knees are drawn up to her chest, face buried in her arms as she tries her best not to get sick. "Still not used to this." Comes the muffled reply from the woman, head lifting just slightly so she can peek at him. "How much longer until we're on solid ground?" Her skin is paler than usually (a feat in itself) and there is a light sheen of sweat on her brow. She's planted herself firmly in the middle of the cloud, not daring to get close to the edge and barely even moving more than she has to. "I could use a chance to stretch my legs." Poor little girl still waiting for her happy ending the White Knight

Maeve
"I wasn't going to be difficult." Maeve offers back as means of explanation, squeezing her eyes shut as they begin to glide down closer to the ocean of grass that covers the ground beneath them. She dares to open her eyes, slowly lifting her head when they even back out. An audible breath of relief leaves her when she realizes that they're barely a foot off the ground now. Better. Much better.
The cloud slowly comes to a stop and Maeve slowly inches towards the edge. Her feet dangle, but she eventually manages to find solid grown. With wobbling legs that are more befitting a baby dear, she takes a few steps forward, "No.. I haven't. Haven't really left Torchline, remember?" Maeve glances back at him from over her shoulder, finally straightening up. She looks better already. A bit of color coming back to her cheeks as her hands come up to try and smooth wind ruffled hair. Poor little girl still waiting for her happy ending the White Knight

Maeve
"You're just trying to make me feel better," she huffs, rolling her eyes at him. Not that there is any real annoyance behind the action. All for show. His grimace doesn't go unnoticed and she waves a hand, "Oh don't look so upset. You're not offending me by not remembering every little thing I've said." Maeve reassures him gently, taking his extended arm and happily leaning into his side as they walk. Human contact has been limited to just him and she's feeling a bit needy if she's being honest with herself. "You were? What changed?"
Her attention is torn between him and the greenery around them. The sweet smell of blossoms fill her nose and she's in absolute awe. It is gorgeous. There are so many different things growing here that she's never seen before and she lingers as long as he lets her while they walk. Occasionally flitting away from his side to collect a sample or some seeds from different plants to study later. Maybe she'll be able to propagate some of them when she gets back. There could be something really useful among everything here. "I see why you'd want to live here. It's amazing." Poor little girl still waiting for her happy ending the White Knight

Maeve
"The greatest crime, Ronin. Punishable by death. Don't you know that?" Maeve retorts with an arch of her brow as she glances back at him. A telltale smile is tugging on her lips. One hell easily recognize after spending so much time around her. You start to notice things about people when you have nothing but them to really focus on. Maeve accepted towards the beginning she could be with someone much worse than Ronin. He really was a pleasant travel partner.
The sudden shift in the trees unsettles her at first, but when her companion doesn't seem to mind she relaxes in an attempt to follow his lead. Maeve tries not to frown when he mentions the goddess. Just because she doesn't understand why he'd commit himself to her whims doesn't mean his beliefs are invalid. She just has a hard time wrapping her head around it. "That makes sense. It just seems a pity you had to give up a home in a beautiful place like this." Maeve carefully picks a few sprigs of a herb, tucking them away in her bag before drawing back to his side. Her steps falter as her eyes land on the snake, "Oh.. you made a friend. I actually really like snakes. I always thought they were so pretty. Capable despite being small." She muses softly, tilting her head to the side as she studies the small reptile.. Poor little girl still waiting for her happy ending the White Knight

Maeve
"You've got it right. We'll do it up on the cliffs. Seems as good of a place as any." She muses tapping her chin in thought as she turns to look at him again, walking backwards for a few steps. "What do you think? Should we tie an anchor to your feet and toss you into the ocean? Poison? Beheading? So many options." Maeve giggles, shaking her head at him as she moves away again to pluck another plant to tuck away in her bag, "We'll invite the whole town. They'll love it."
She returns to his side again, eyes back on the little snake that curls around his shoulders, "I'm sure there are. I think Torchline is beautiful. I've not travelled much, but I've heard good things about the Grounds too." Her shoulders lift in a shrug as she looks up at him and then to the snake. Maeve lifts a finger to run it over the the snake's nose lightly before she carefully takes the small reptile from Ronin. It curls its way around her fingers and wrist, flicking out its tongue to smell the air. "He's cute." The girl hums, letting the snake slip onto her shoulders and wind its way there to hang lightly around her neck as she starts walking once more.

It wasn't the answer she was expecting and it makes her grimace, "Fucking hell. I mean, of you're gonna pick a fake execution then might as well go all out, but fuck." She laughs, shaking her head at him. He is right, though. It would definitely be a spectacle that people would love to see. Although, not much to be seen when the person in question is literally underwater.
Her brows draw together and a slight frown tugs at her lips, "I wonder if Melita went to a different part then... She said she liked the Grounds. I only passed through to get back home. I wasn't too concerned with actually looking around." Maeve admits, glancing over at him with a soft smile as they continue to walk almost leisurely through the forest. There isn't as much of a rush driving them. Perhaps because they're somewhere that Ronin knows well or maybe because they both aren't ready to face what is waiting for them at home. "Oh, I'm sorry... I imagine that would change your opinion on a place." She murmurs, pressing her lips together as they both focus back on the trail. Her hand gives his arm what she hopes is a comforting squeeze as they walk. She doesn't flit off to look at anymore plants, choosing to stay by his side instead.

Her laugh is soft even as she shakes her head, rolling her eyes at him. The days they've spent together have revealed as much. He literally rides around on a cloud for fuck sake. Of course he's dramatic. "Believe me, I've noticed." Maeve huffs, bumping his shoulder lightly as they walk through the quiet of the woods. The fall into a companionable silence and when he starts to hum as they meander through the trees Maeve thinks that things really aren't so bad. She could honestly say that she'd rather willingly travel with him again if the opportunity arose.
"Ah, yeah. I did. She helped me board up a few of the windows at the Halenani. We're trying to get it ready for the monsoons." She says with a bob of her head, looking down at her feet to watch her boots sink into the soft grass. "You have a dragon? Well now I'm really jealous. I've considered getting a companion of my own, but I'm not sure what." Maeve muses, head tilting in thought as her steps fall in line with his even as he begins to direct them another way. She goes easily with him, trusting he knows the way. "I know I don't have to. It just felt like the thing to say." Maeve huffs even as she gives his arm a light squeeze, "I am. I miss home. I miss my bed. Also being clean. Ugh. I must look a right mess." Poor little girl still waiting for her happy ending | ||||||
