The male's affirmative response provoked a small smile to climb upon Maera's lips.This was the second encounter she had since she had re-entered the Teekon Wilds, and despite the circumstances (and increased degrees of danger) it was better than the first. If there was something Maera Sveijarn would not tolerate was being treated as weak.  
No.

 "yeah" she answered with a nod, then after giving the male a quick up and down look she decided to crack a joke. Yes they had almost died but do you know how long had it been since Maera had joked around? If she was going to die soon might as well keep her sense of humor.  "that was me saving you " she barked bluntly, as a wider smile crept onto her face.
It was technically true... she had told him to run hadn't she?
