Maria steps up and with no hesitation for once, scooped up Pascale in the offered princess carry.

"I mean there's still the chance of getting caught isn't there?"

But that wasn't on her mind right now. Instead, she was thinking about heading down to the kitchens to grab some bread, and maybe taking lunch in one of the more secluded gardens (where the guards wouldn't catch her slacking off). So preoccupied was she with this that she didn't even notice she was no longer alone.

Even without her sword and armour, Maria was not a woman of stealth and subterfuge, but regardless Maria turned heel and began following the woman. Maybe her presence alone would be a detterance... Whatever faults her brother had, Maria would protect him from those who would abuse him for personal gain.

"I don't know what to say to you then, Crow. I can't do this. I almost think that, if we really want to get anywhere, Maria is going to have to take the lead."

"I'm sorry for turning this into a disaster. I just wanted to do something good for Maria, and thought it'd be something good for you too."
