The way he looked at her, it was just so...so...unsettling to her; she felt different when he looked at her. Feeling different and dealing with change were two things that Maka probably hated more then anything in the world, which was why seeing him always annoyed her in such a fashion. The feelings he roused in her and the fact that she did not really mind those feelings, in fact a part of her (which was growing the more she saw him) wanted the change. Hearing his words and looking into his eyes the rush of feelings took her a moment to adapt to and for her to find her voice. Clearing her throat and looking away from him for a moment she reminded herself of her manners and returned her gaze to his own returning the welcoming smile as she nods a bit.<br/><br/>"Well actually it is a welcoming visit. We could use the extra shipment cause as luck would have it, well not really luck but um one of our mines collapsed this morning...." she held up her hand to stall him from asking the obvious questions and continued on to answer them. "There were many injured but praise to the Goddess that no one died and we were able to rescue everyone. But as you can guess we burned into our supplies of jelusus herbs, so your presence here is actually a blessing" her smile becoming a bit more friendly as she waved to her men who moved quickly to take the offered sacks, rushing them off to there they were currently needed.<br/><br/>Now a bit more alone save for about two guards she takes a step toward him, "Since this is an unscheduled visit and it has been sometime since we have seen one another, would you care to share a midday meal with me? I can see that your men are well taken care of while we dine?" she offered suddenly feeling nervous and unsure of herself as she waited his answer.
