Catching Up With Maisy Glover

The distracting conversational topics aside, as time continued to go on there came a point where an obvious question was blaring in the minds of the two women. Where was that scientist? Allen should have been there hours ago. Well, according to Maisy. Samira herself had no knowledge of the time Allen was supposed to arrive or if he even was to appear at all. It could have all been a misunderstanding. The man had a knack for being punctual so for him to be so late was quite unheard of. Perhaps Maisy got the day wrong or Allen simply forgot to cancel appropriately. Samira wasn't worried. There wasn't a reason to be. Maisy, on the other hand, was.

The herbalist stood from her seat and walked over toward one of the windows of her humble cabin. "It's getting late," Maisy stated, looking out the open window of her cabin. She observed the sky, looking at the darker hues that were quickly settling into the black night sky as the sun sunk further out of sight. Her gaze then lowered to look at the dirt road in front of her house. There were a few villagers still there, some trying to quickly finish their business before it got too late, a group of men were going around lighting lanterns to ensure there was still some light outside, and others were just standing around gossiping or calling their children inside. No Allen. She couldn't even see anything resembling the man in the distance coming into the village. "I hope he's okay. I'm worried."

Samira remained seated where she had been for hours already. She had been watching Maisy grow increasingly anxious the more time passed. Now she knew for sure the reason why. "Is there a reason to worry as much as you are? It is Allen. He might have got distracted with work." The summoner tried to make plausible excuses. If only so Maisy wouldn't worry so much. There was only so much she could do though. Short of rudely finding his location and having him teleported to Maisy's cabin by force she was having to play the waiting game the same as she.
