[color=ed1c24]"May I ask you something?"[/color] Maria said in a as disarming tone as she could, [color=ed1c24]"Do you even know where you are going to? Knowing that Paraanon Ravine is to the East of here, but not knowing even where the East should be, or the terrain layout from here to there is like knowing that the area of a circle can be calculated by multiplying the square of its radius times pi, but not knowing what pi stands for. Simply put, it's useless knowledge."[/color] [color=ed1c24]"Now, do yourself a favor and come to my house as well, I'm going to Paraanon after I do something about Sunflower, but if you are so eager to kill yourself by going alone, I can lend you a map and a compass, that's the best support you'll ever find, since I'm the only one around here that owns such items."[/color] With that said, Maria turned to Donny and without saying a word beckoned him t follow her, shouldering Pandora once again and walking away from the all too common scene of the previous massacre. [i][color=ed1c24]"Ut absolutam gratiam tuam"[/color][/i], Maria whispered a silent prayer for the dead, though it was clear that it was a mockery as the acid in her voice showcased. Once on her house, Maria would first ask Donny to take Lillian to one of the guest rooms and lay her at a decadent but luxurious canopy bed, asking him to leave the room later, saying [color=ed1c24]"I don't think she would like a man to observe her body been stripe as I get some more comfortable clothes for her to sleep in. Unless, you're just that pervert, in which case I don't care in the least, about what you do.[/color]" Maria then stripped Lillian and changed her into a night gown, since the girl didn't looked like she would wake up soon and sleeping in armor, even if it's leather is very bad to one's health. Following that, Maria brought a bottle full of a deep red liquid and assured Donny that it was nothing but a tonic, she concocted on her own, that would make the girl feel completely healed an full of energy when she wakes up, before giving a glassful of the remedy (which tasted like strong whiskey, which was actually the solvent used to dilute the medicinal herbs of which it was made) to Lillian and letting her to rest on the bed. Having done with the nursing chores, Maria left a jar of cold water, along with a silver bowl and a clean towel besides Lillian's bed and went back to the entrance hall, where she turned her attention back to the other hunters. [color=ed1c24]"Here's the map and compass, for anyone who might wants a premature second death"[/color], the huntress said leaving the utensils over the counter of the previous inn, before turning to Donny [color=ed1c24]"Ok, now what's it that you want of me? If you want to have some, I'm sad to disappoint you, but I don't swing towards men. In fact, I find the feeling of taking one, impossibly disgusting."[/color] Maria then sat cross-legged at a couch, resting her gear beside it and gazing at Donny with a blank expression as she waited for his answer.
