Once upon a time...
Nearly jumping out of her skin when someone spoke to her, it took her a moment to puzzle together the strangers face with Hadama's voice. Relieved that he was there, Maea nodded. Her face beneath the helmet looked paler than usual, and had lost some of the earlier excitement.
"Understood. Hey... be careful, alright? There's something in the castle that shouldn't be. I tried to find out who... but all I got was a feeling that it's more of a 'what'. Some kind of shadow - it keeps disappearing, or hiding. I don't recall this being part of the story..." Which could mean a few things, but ultimately didn't help them at all.
Taking her eyes off the dancers, Maea spared a moment to take in Hadama's disguise. "Nice trick. I didn't recognize you at all." It looked more comfortable than her armor; apparently steel was steel even in a fairytale. "I would ask you to dance to pass the time... but unfortunately I'm not dressed for the occasion."
