	Talking down the kid was proving to be as difficult as Mari had feared it was going to be. For all her sweet-talking, the kid still hadn't said anything and was only expressing some wary curiosity. Though Mari figured that the latter was only due to the fact that she wasn't human. With the motion behind her, the kid's eyes snapped to the new arrival.

"You said you need a blanket, Dame Verenna?" Fleuri asked as he put down his sword and helmet, then unclasped and removed his white cape, which had remarkably remained unstained throughout the battle.  "Here, will this do?"

	Taking the offered garment, Mari nods. [color=c4df9b]"Yes. this should serve the purpose nicely. Thank you, Sir... Jodeau."[/color] The Naga says taking a moment to recall the name of her fellow knight. Folding up the cape, Mari slowly reaches into the cage and carefully deposits it halfway between her and the kid before pulling back. [color=c4df9b]"Go on. wrap yourself up."[/color] She says, gesturing to the cape. [color=c4df9b]"You must be freezing with only that tunic to keep you warm."[/color]

	Something close to a rational look flickers through the kid's eyes as they glance between Mari and the cape before snatching it up. Burying themselves in the cape, the kid pokes their head out, warily watching the two knights with a feral sort of curiosity. At the sight, Mari resists cracking a grin. If it weren't for the circumstances, the scene would be almost amusing; a serious faced kid holding a knife while bundled up in a knight's cape. [color=c4df9b]"Finally. Some progress. If you aren't going to try and stab me, I don't need all this armor anymore."[/color] The Naga says, unbuckling and removing her plate armor and chain mail.
