If she hadn't been so overwhelmingly nervous - if she'd been her usual masculine self she would of used wit to distract the conversation away from such a difficult topic. But she<em>was</em>feeling so nervous - perhaps more overwhelmingly so tha she'd ever felt. And knowing the answer to exactly whom the skin she wore might have come from... It only made her mind fill with a crash of thoughts too close together to sort out. "Oh, this is all part of a blessing from<em>my</em>Goddess."<br/><br/>Max's thoughts tripped - offering the truth was an unfamiliar habit that left her feeling unusually noticeable "Delilah is quite Caprcious in nature. But that can be alluring in a dangerous Lady." Sliding back into the compliment seemed so natural - though there was still something off with Maxine's thoughts. Whenever she tried to mention Delilah there was... Just such a deep... well... of connected emotion that she couldn't help but blurt out some new truth. Drawing her thought away from that uncomfortable habit, she responded to the latest voice, Lillian, to enter the conversation. "I'd be happy to offer you some spiritual guidance in our Ruby Maiden..." Maxine's voice didn't falter - even as her gaze shifted to examine all of Lillian's... Elfin nature? "I'm always happy to share the Maiden's fire to a warming heart." Maxine emotions settled as she spoke, feeling far more in command of herself. Though it was in part because she'd actually enjoyed her lessons when the priestesses had taught her of the Fire. The enrapturous words of Delilah's teachings could draw in anyone with a warmed soul.<br/><br/>Feeling in command of her emotions, Maxine listened as she took to eating her venison with the most delicate cuts and modest attentions. She was after all, a Lady on display. A little too much display, as the breeze slipping through her new armor reminded her. At least their new company was keeping her from too much notice on that front...
