[A nod, and the friendly smile is back, and slightly bigger.]
Only because of how you phrase some things. If you're comfortable sharing specific concerns, that could help too, but I don't want to push or pry.
[A nod of his head as if she should follow him, and he's walking. Heading off the field obviously and to an area that has a rope with flags laid against it on the ground--marking a boundary. The shadows of the stone columns that encircle Caireen's temple are a few feet away from that marker, and a cooler is nearby with bottles of water.
Close enough to the temple if his Goddess needs him, but not so far close as to hopefully get it caught in any crossfire or damage. There's a blanket or two also spread out, and another bottle of water is taken from the cooler.
It's with an ease of movement and familiarity that also said he was aware, and in control, and was a fighter, that he folds himself down to sit on one of the blankets. Offering the second bottle for her to join him.]
Mai wasn't the kind of fighter I was, but she definitely saw hard times too from what she's told me, and she definitely has experience working with fighters and warriors. She has a strategic mind though, and had to learn how to use my vessel form--a long sword. What's kind of amusing, is that I seem to know how to use a long sword myself, even though I don't remember it.
