Ronin's jaw drops in a very how dare you expression; a joke, of course, because how else can he tell her that he's not dramatic unless he's dramatic about it? Still, the scandalised look on his face melts back into a smile as Maeve bumps against his shoulder, and he leads them deeper still into the woods. In fact, Ronin doesn't know where he's going, and that's precisely the point. He's doing his best not to look for the Mathair, because he guarantees they'll stumble upon it just as soon as the Greatwood is ready. RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you. |

Maeve
He makes her laugh. A rather common occurrence these days. Their relationship has evolved over the last few days of travel. He quickly went from a complete stranger to someone she trusted with her life. Being thrown into the Wilds will do that. He offers a warm sort of security that she's not found easily in others. There isn't that typical cloud of lust and attraction; don't get her wrong, he's incredibly handsome and charming, but there is no desire to pursue anything there. Not like that. She's grateful for his presence and the care he's provided for her during their travels.
"I hope so. You know... I don't think I've actually met him. The governor. I mean, I've seen him around and all of that, but I don't think I've ever spoken to him." (Little does she know that she's about to come rather close with said governor.) Maeve shrugs her shoulders, "I'm going to plan for more preparations when I get back. We sustained some damage last year and I'd rather avoid that this year." She casts her eyes up to him for a moment before they go back to looking at their surroundings, making mental notes of different plants she sees. She'll have to ask Sam if he has any books on the Greatwood. Surely he does. It would be good to have some text to help her identify things whenever she gets back. Not to be forgotten, the hanging snake in question flicks his tongue against her cheek in a mock kiss and she reaches up to rub under his chin. "I'm sure one will. Things get a bit lonely in my line of work, if you can believe it." Maeve laughs softly, shaking her head as she reaches up and picks a stray leaf from her curls, "Haven't you heard? Wearing leaves in your hair is all the rage this season." Poor little girl still waiting for her happy ending the White Knight

Maeve
Maeve feigns a look of indignation, pressing a hand to her chest as she huffs, "Ronin! You say that as if I'm going to run off and ruin him!" She isn't and she won't. A smile breaks her facade and she giggles, shaking her head, "I promise I'll behave. Not going to go accost your close friend." Maeve crosses her heart with the words as if she's making a promise.
He reminds her of his little slip up before and she snorts, "Gods. You really fucked up with that. You're lucky I like you enough to put up with it. Even if you are dramatic as hell. Remind me to send a gift basket to your husband for putting up with your bullshit. He definitely deserves one." Of course she doesn't know of the troubles they're having. Ones that they thankfully are able to work through in the long run. It's all in good fun. The way she teases him. As they reach the glade, Maeve carefully removes the hanging snake from her shoulders. As much as she might love a companion it's probably best she waits until after the monsoons. Maeve releases him into the grass, watching as he slithers off and away. "I guess this is it then, huh?" A breathless awe coats her words as she looks up at the tree in wonder.

"I am. I'll run into him naturally. You know... After following him around for a few days." Her grin matches his own and she really is joking. She's not the type to go to those kinds of extremes. Maeve doesn't doubt that she'll meet the governor sooner or later. His smiles falters as do his steps when she mentions Remi. He recovers quickly and Maeve doesn't press because they're so close to being back home and she's not going to ruin it.
Maeve turns back to him, taking his hand and giving it a squeeze, "I suppose I can tolerate your company for a little longer." She drawls, another laugh threatening to bubble up in her chest as she looks up at him. It's definitely been a ride and despite the bumps along the rode, she's grateful to have been on it with him. "Or hopefully they won't throw us anywhere at all. Not that you weren't a most wonderful travel companion... I'd rather not fear for my life." Maeve turns her attention back towards the tree and lets him lead them home. Poor little girl still waiting for her happy ending the White Knight
