She wasn't surprised when he gave her the cold treatment and moved slightly aside to give him personal space. He hadn't exactly asked for it, but as she herself greatly valued people keeping distance from her physically most of the time, she also tried to do the same for others. As expected, her attempt to talk with him hadn't given any results, at least not any instant ones. He was a secretive man and everyone had things they did not want to bring up. She, too, would rather burn her palm than talk about the time Before Temple.

Mae didn't really feel very hungry, but with weathered soldier's discipline she quickly finished off her meal, knowing she needed the food, and then just hugged her knees to her chest, resting chin on top and stared into flames. It may not have been a very regal pose, but priestess just wanted to have a moment of serenity, to distance herself from things so she could have a clearer view afterwards. Of course, peace was not long lasting and soon, Kevlar started up a commotion.

Not soon after, knight was trying to hide behind her and she shot them both a look, but then shook head, realizing there was no point in trying to get them both back off. Men games. In a sense, they were as foolish as her guards, but being surrounded by goofy men that 'served' her, Mae didn't really stress about it much. She stood up and dusted off her skirt, when Kevlar decided to go professing his love to Saith who fled. She smirked when Kevlar explained his purpose: "Do not worry, my heart will not break because you so quickly changed object of your affection."

Priestess put out the fire, cleaned up their short camp spot to her best ability and followed the two, leading Raenn and caught up right in time to see Kevlar tumbling off his horse and curling up in grass. She shook her head and moved over, to offer him a hand to help up, a half-smile on her face, much like a babysitter could have when the kids did something particularly cutely stupid. And that's about how she felt. "If you two can't play it nice, one of you will fall victim to tickling," she commented with absolutely serious expression now, as if 'tickling' was some particularly bad plague or boogie monster under bed. Only sparks of laughter in bright blue eyes gave away that she was amused.

Hopefully, the duo would calm down somewhat eventually and their journey could continue on without unnecessary delays and with nightfall (she had paused to pray to Sun, however, although song was quieter now and would not attract any unneeded attention), they would come to city that seemed to have grown out of land itself in middle of forest. Guards that stood by gates in wall that looked nearly made of living trees looked them over, but allowed them to enter. There, she headed towards one of the inns that she wouldn't be stopping at for first time. After a short talk with chubby woman behind counter, she got two rooms for her and Kevlar and place for their horses. "Again on the road, my lady? Do you not know meaning of rest?" innkeeper's wife asked in friendly tone and Mae shook her head slightly. "As Sun never takes break from endless circle, so cannot I."

Woman sighed with sympathy, but then grinned: "At least you have got nicer company now." Mae quirked eyebrow, as if questioning what exactly had been meant with that, but no explanation came since innkeeper gave his darling a good nudge in back passing by. Priestess laughed softly under her breath and bid Saith good night (reminding to come in tomorrow for breakfast), then headed upstairs where her and Kevlar's rooms were. Before knight disappeared off in his room, she stopped him with slight touch on shoulder.

"We did not quite start off on 'the right foot', but I wanted to say I appreciate you coming with us. Good night," elf said with slight smile and then slipped in her own room. Sleep was on her mind, but until she had finished thief's portrait that was about half done, she couldn't rest. In the end, she ended passing out at the table as she was inspecting picture for last details to adjust or work on and sleeping in.
