Maeve was already, with some difficulty, escorting Allard towards a safe location when she heard Sev's word as he approached the square. Apparently, even though he did abandon her to deal with the others by herself, he had also fought against some. The staff that he was wielding before was now a spear, revealing his weapon's double nature, which was made even cleared due to it's bloodied tip.

[color=6ecff6]"A bit rude leaving me alone to both protect Allard and deal with the other bandits, don't you think?"[/color] Maeve asked, raising an eyebrow to him as he approached them.

[color=6ecff6]"Regarding this Emperor of Greed... Never heard about it. The only thing I can think about is that this is, somehow, connected to the kidnappings and what happened with Madam Valia the other day. It is indeed difficult to think someone would do such thing just to satisfy it's own lust or... greed."[/color] Maeve said, purposely using the same word Sev mentioned about the emperor.

It was then that a strange, sly man man appeared gliding over her and Allard. Despite his sudden appearance, his actions and words made it clear he wasn't an enemy as he said to take Allard to the temple so they could heal them.

[color=6ecff6]"Charming words. Thank you, stranger."[/color] Maeve said, with a smirk as she chuckled when he made a small joke about the dead bandits at her feet.

[color=6ecff6]"I am not a specialist on healing magic, but since I'm an Isoli, it does come naturally to me. I may be able to help, even if only a small bit."[/color] she said as she nodded towards the sly stranger as she started taking Allard to the temple.

[color=6ecff6]"If you discover anything more about what's happening, feel free to tell me too. I'm going to the temple to heal Allard a bit and help the other healer. I'm honestly surprised on how he is even alive at this point. If I don't hurry up though, he might not be anymore in a bit..."[/color] Maeve said, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

Maeve was glad that her words were a bit effective in calming Allard down. Unfortunately, just the second she thought it would be easier and she wouldn't need to forcefully drag that half giant to the temple, they heard an explosion in the background, immediately making Allard say his daughter's name and become agitated once more.

[color=6ecff6]"If you don't calm down, I can and will knock you out cold so I can drag you to the temple and heal you. Sev, please, go towards the explosion and see what's happening. If it's really Allard's daughter, help her."[/color] Maeve said, trying to calm down the wounded giant again.

[color=6ecff6]"Trust your daughter, Allard. She's a strong girl, isn't she? Sev is going there too, so just calm down and don't overexert yourself."[/color] Maeve said, as she finally began taking Allard to the temple.

Arriving on the temple, Maeve would try to make Allard lay down and start using her healing magic. Even though it might not be as good as someone who specialized in it, it was still more than enough to close wounds and at least make it so Allard's situation wasn't one of life and death.
