Barrow Fields i was in calcutta, i was pretty well removed

yikes, i let this one get away from me - sorry about the delay!  last post from me :)

Sure is, she agreed awkwardly, attempting to smooth her reply over with an indifferent shrug of her shoulder.  Banner couldn't hold back her grimace: awkward is as awkward does.  The feeling settled over her and discomfort followed soon after.  She cleared her throat and cast a glance back in the direction of home, where her family and familiar surroundings were.  She turned back to Maude, an apologietic smile plastered on her face.  No need to be rude to her rough-around-the-edges companion!

.. but she felt the immediate need to retun home anyway.  I'm sorry.. I just.. do you mind if I.. go back..?  Stumbling over her words.  Lovely.  The dark brown lady shook her head and sighed at her own difficulties.  It was.. nice meeting you, Maude.  Nice was an understatement.  Banner didn't think the sea wolf would appreciate a more colorful description.  But hell, what did she know?  Maybe it'd be met with deranged laughter.  Chuckling, she ducked her head as a means of silent apology.  If you're ever in the area, maybe you could show the Maurauders how it's really done? she ended with a smirk.

Stark would get a kick out of Maude, that was for sure.  Her digging long forgotten, Banner paused a moment longer before turning back toward her home among the willow trees.
