[ He’s not unaware that waiting by the well for the promised arrival of a woman sounds pretty romantic in itself, and yet here he is anyway, sucker that he is. He’s glad she tolerates much from him. ]
Miss Maya? [ Yes, he sees you there!! He even bows a little when she finally approaches him. ]
[ It's okay, Maya is very much unaware of romantic implications, and is cheerfully waving one hand over her head in response-- right before she comes to a halt in front of him. ]
You don't have to thank me, I'm happy to help! The best way to conquer a day is to keep moving, anyway, so you're also helping me out.
[ Including a palm held up right in front of his face, sorry for the rudeness. ]
As far as I'm concerned, we're already friends. And nothing makes me happier than spending time with my friends. So feel free to intrude whenever you want.
[ LAUGHS just play Camelot and we’ll see about that. ]
I do not think that I would offend you, and yet… [ Well, it’s really hard for him to say. ] Ah! Please pay me no mind. I would be glad for your company alone.
That is a relief to hear. [ That she can defend herself. Hang out in Chaldea long enough and you sort of take it for granted that not everyone has superpowers. ]
I am used to dealing with large numbers of enemies as well. But…this is very sad. Perhaps I was too optimistic to think that we could peacefully gather honey from ordinary bees.
[ On the other hand, it’s also kind of a relief? Evil superbees he can kill with somewhat less guilt. Regular bees are helpless enough and are probably just struggling to survive for want of colored flowers to pollinate. ]
[ It's just because the universe didn't want to let her be a damsel, really. ]
I don't think it's too sad. Peacefully gathering honey is one thing, but don't they say the strongest bonds are forged through adversity? This will just make us better friends and get you more used to the wildlife!

I was hoping to assist those who might be looking to gather honey.
no subject
Oh! Well, it's really just a matter of either distracting the bees or picking a fight with them. I can lend a hand.no subject
But if a fight should indeed occur, then you can leave them to mee.
no subject
Perfect! Then, just one question.Who is this?
[ this is not a hexcode she knows. ]
no subject
I am not accustomed to communicating this way.
[ That’s mostly left to the staff at Chaldea, anyway. But at least he’s figured out the basics? ]
no subject
Archer!! I should have realized, with the formality...Anyway, where would you like to meet?
no subject
I am not very familiar with the layout of this area, I am afraid.
no subject
You're still new to it. There's nothing wrong with that. I'll meet you there![ And yes. She is indeed going there now. ]
no subject
Miss Maya? [ Yes, he sees you there!! He even bows a little when she finally approaches him. ]
I thank you very much for your assistance.

Oh, I apologize—I did not mean to imply—
no subject
You're fine. I promise, you don't have to be so cautious around me. It's super hard to offend me!
[ you kind of have to be the embodiment of the darkness of humanity. ]
no subject
I do not think that I would offend you, and yet… [ Well, it’s really hard for him to say. ] Ah! Please pay me no mind. I would be glad for your company alone.
no subject
Then that's settled!
[ ... what's settled, Maya. ]
So, do you want to see the flowers first or investigate the bees? I'll warn you now, they're not your typical buzzy friends.
no subject
I thought I might seek out the flowers first, regardless. Their ephemeral beauty must be quite striking against such a bleak and gray world…
no subject
[ She at least knows where she's going. ]
no subject
But…what of these bees? [ Are they evil superbees? Because that shit does exist in some Singularities… ]
Are they such perilous creatures? [ Is that why it’s a quest?? Because quests are kind of a big deal… ]
no subject
Nothing in the forest is really... normal.
[ so yes. Evil superbees. ]

Well, I was a prolific hunter before… [ But granted, she has a point. This is all new territory for him. ]
But next time, I would like to get to know you better under more peaceful circumstances.
