"You could stay here, I certainly cannot make you do anything you do not wish to." Maebhrin was certain he wouldn't even have bothered to listen to her if there was not the ominous weight of others' potential ire pressing upon him.
As irritating as that was, Maebhrin understood peer pressure all too well. True, she was snarking about the male's indifference to it all, but she was at least allowed to do something, as well. So long as he didn't try to stop her? It was all well and good.
Or maybe he simply did not care. That might be likely, too, but again: so long as he didn't try to stop her from helping the children, that was fine. Maebhrin wasn't about to tattle. It was a waste of time.
At least the children did not fall. So that was a bonus. Though the elf was still wary--there was no telling what else remained in the trees, after all.
