Maria gives the halfling a comforting smile, and rests one hand on the little woman's shoulder when she tries to lead the monk back into the heart of the observatory... but they both know that she's going to have to check it out now. If for no other reason than to make sure that the town wouldn't find itself on the receiving end of another surprise attack the moment the monk takes her leave.<br/><br/>"Like ya said, I ain't in any hurry; but maybe goin' out an' checking the tower will help to keep my mind off of... other distractions." The monk very nearly reaches down to touch herself at the thought of her body's heightened libido; but she manages to keep herself decent for the moment. Though the idea of just pouncing on the halfling and having her repeat her favor from the ruined keep<em>does</em>bring a new blush to her cheeks. "So I tell ya what. You stay here, an' help the Elfie try ta find some more locations for us ta search. I'll go check out the tower, an' then I'll look in tha woods for the fey spring that I saw when I first got inta town. I'll meet you at the front gate in tha mornin'?"
