It was a sight that would have caused something to stir within her. Yet practicing the technique Nakai, her mind and body were both focused on the task at hand and not the potential for romance. While she could have gone after the Ryne attacking Mary, there was another one nearby that seemed to be distracted and Virginia found it prudent to take care of that one first before assisting her friend. [color=#9999ff]"Hello, number four,"[/color] she greeted the Ryne, as it was distracted by its friend on the attack. With a clean swing of her axe, she decapitated it and the head fell to the ground. They'd need to reinsert the fangs into the artery to have a true death, but that was a job that could be done later. She took a breath, waiting to see if Mary had the other Ryne handled or if she would need to intervene. Yet she trusted that Mary would have no trouble with it... ...Though, she had thought the same of Mosi and she had perished not so long ago.[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=ff6600]Maeve Brennan[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/DzqRLZhW/tumblr_p5okumiob11w3nwrko2_250.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=ff6600]Location[/color][/b]: Kirkpatrick House: the Carriage [b][color=ff6600]Skills[/color][/b]: N/A[/center][hr] Maeve nodded curtly at Lady Kirkpatrick's praise. She enjoyed that standing her ground came off as a bright decision to her - there were some where in order to win them over, it was necessary to bend. It was refreshing to not have to suppress her natural stubbornness, yet she truthfully never would when it came to her daughter. Roisin's wellbeing was more important to her than anything else in the world - including the fate of the world itself. Nothing would ever change that. She read over the contract, finding nothing out of order and she took the inked quill, signing her legal name [i]Maeve Brennan[/i]. It had been a while since her surname changed, and while she didn't love her late husband, she kept his name all the same. [color=ff6600]"There ye are,"[/color] Maeve said, handing the contract back to them. She couldn't help but wonder how long ago Lady Kirkpatrick had had this prepared - perhaps before she even had made her way to Scotland. Her talk earlier of those she sponsored - who owed her - came into clearer context. And without a doubt, Maeve did indeed now owe her. This was training that she could not afford for Roisin herself. ....But it was worth it all the same.
