Neverwinter Forest You can come and go and still be here

Mal's response doesn't annoy her, which is a good sign. Her mood even starts to settle into something a little more neutral, and she prepares to find some task to assign them both to fill the time and distract her; it'd be the most helpful thing right now. The touch catches her off-guard, though, and she pauses for a moment. It isn't unwelcome — but it's certainly unexpected. She collects herself and offers a brief smile, a touch warmer than usual, then focuses on the conversation as the expression fades. She's still a little unsettled, though, and it shows in the uncharacteristic vagueness of her response. Well... this is useless, She gestures toward the ruined plant. It might be best to find something else to do. She'd had some ideas for that something else a moment ago, but they're gone now.
