Ravensblood Forest in a battle, that's all you get

Arturo accepted her compliment with a gracious bow of his head though he did not break his silence as he assessed her and her round abdomen. She did not respond to his question, though whether it was out of avoidance or because she had no real reason Arturo could not be sure. Surely if she was here on official business for Skellige she would have started with that. No, Arturo had the feeling the longer the time in her presence ticked on that she was not here on the Leviathan's orders. So then, why? Surely she did not care enough for him to care either way though, admittedly, the alliance he struck with her Leviathan benefited her just as much as it did the titan Cairn.

Ah. There it is. Realization dawned quickly upon the gangster when Doe stated that Furiosa lived her. So his Póilín had made rather quick work of her introductions. That was good, but that still did not explain why Doe was here and why she had stated that particular fact. As it was not a question and rather obvious that Furiosa did, indeed, live in Teaghlaigh as his Second in Command and red herring he didn't bother responding to it. There was no use in being redundant.

“She's made quick work of her introductions then,” Arturo concluded out loud instead, drawing his salmon pink tongue across his lips. “Good.” Arturo was pleased. Though Furiosa was unpredictable to the gangster who had yet to meet a woman her equal he was very pleased and impressed with her already. There was no doubt that he'd made the right choice in allowing her a place at his side. Yet, there was still the matter of why. Why it mattered to Doe. And why she brought Furiosa up. “She is impressive, is she not?” For surely his Póilín had made an impression on the pregnant Cairn — else she would not be here.
