wanna close this & i'll start a new one at bfw?

whatever hangup maegi seemed to have about them vanishes as soon as they agree to follow her back to the forest. part of them already regrets this, but hell, they aren't about to back out of their word -- they're flaky and self-interested but they are not completely unreliable.
