Of most recent date, she'd grown a fondness for smaller folk and couldn't help but smile when they came about. "Well, what a sight we make. A singing scout, a fire witch who clearly hasn't heard of frostbite, a Cerulean maiden with the most pleasant smile, a halfling with manners that better than my own and-" with a sly gesture towards Meresiel's hips "-an elf whose outfit has to be attached by magic. I'd ask for a demonstration - but I'm afraid My Ruby Lady might borrow the design for my next outfit..." Max's thoughts chased away the thought of herself wearing an outfit that appeared to be held in place by magic alone - she had enough skin showing through her armor as it was!<br/><br/>But then her thoughts softened and she smiled. "For such an odd bunch, surely the fates must be calling. I lay odds we'll be hero-" and there but the slightest pause as she corrected herself- "-ines before long. Next we'll be saving noble daughters kidnapped by bandits, Slaying orcs and falling headlong into romances with enemy scouts. If misfortune is too settle upon us, I suspect the gods are watching us as well. At the very least I know mine won't me out of her sight for a while yet..." and Maxine found herself flushing just slightly at the statement, knowing all too well what she'd done to warrant such intensity from her Goddess.<br/><br/>Maxine lifted her eyes to search the others- wondering if they felt out of place as well?
