After sleeping for a good amount of time, Maeve was feeling completely rested. In fact, she didn't even remember the last time she had exhausted herself like she did the other day. Not even when she spent the entire day sparring against others in her hometown. Maybe it was because she had used a lot of healing magic, which was something she definitely wasn't accustomed in using, especially in such large amounts.

While Maeve was far too tired and exhausted to notice things such as the surge of magic coming from Jeevak's healing she did notice after she wake up that Jeevak had simply vanished together with his companions, along with any traces of his presence. Apparently, he indeed came to the city with a specific goal in mind and after talking with those whom he was interested in, he simply left. Strangely enough, Sahale was also nowhere to be found, which was a shame since he seemed to be an... intriguing person.

Fortunately, with Jeevak's departure, the city of Kalla was definitely calmer. Fortunately for Maeve, more interesting and potentially entertaining events were about to happen. Around the mid of the morning, while Maeve was eating her breakfast on Allard's inn, a loud voice called her attention coming from somewhere. Along with the familiar noise of the bells ringing, much like how they rang in the attack, the words 'Ship to the northwest' were yelled from person to person, notifying the entire town.

[color=6ecff6]"Not again..."[/color] Maeve said, sighing with a clearly annoyed expression as she calmly finished eating her breakfast before going outside with her rapier on hand.

Luckily, that time it wasn't an attack, but in fact the complete opposite. Some of the girls who were kidnapped were on board of said ship and after being freed, they were finally coming back home.

Maeve who had already left the inn preparing for a battle, ended up simply staying nearby to watch the girls reuniting with their families and friends. She couldn't help but let out a smile as she saw Valia running towards the girls, crying, happy to see them. Most of the town was there, seeing such heartwarming scene. Some were still with their weapons in hand, which probably also thought it was a mistake. Allard too was among them, carrying his weapon despite being almost covered in bandages.

[color=6ecff6]"I suppose not even such grave injuries were enough to keep you in bed, were them?"[/color] Maeve said with a chuckle, teasing Allard as she saw him.

[color=6ecff6]"I almost thought it was another attack, just after I finally was able to clean my rapier, clothes and get myself in a presentable state after everything that happened."[/color] Maeve commented in a slightly annoyed tone, despite her discreet smile, denouncing that she was in fact a bit happy that the girls had returned.
