[She waves a hand, and watches the particles dance in the slats of moonlight in the wake of it, then swirl and move with the subtle air currents through the open wood, anyway, even if the wind is otherwise fairly calm.
There's a strange feeling of anticipation that also rises in the back of Maria's mind as Edelgard steps closer, and she frowns a bit, looking over the vampire. For a moment, then she looks her over, like she's looking for something.]
It is trying to distract my attention either way.
[Then, she tears her gaze away from the other woman, and looks at the flowers again.] Which is irritating. I'd like to finish this task, but it can never be so easy, can it?
[Edelgard can feel it too. Her eyes focus, narrowing a bit at the taller woman, dilating slightly as she looks at her friend. What a strange...feeling. She can't help but look back, appraising Maria, taking note of things she's yet to really ponder.]
...I suppose it is doing much the same to me.
[The Emperor steps closer, called by the plants, knowing damn well they were reaching out to her. She pays them little heed though, as she goes back to cutting. Though she does stay near Maria.]
Let us fill our bags, and be rid of this place, then. The more we're here, the more likely it'll soak into our minds. I'm not sure what the end goal is, but the path to get there seems to be...
[She pauses, and a flower wraps around her fingers. She feels an odd, longing pang in her chest, as something drags up the memory of the last time she held someone, the last time she-
-- yes. Of all the things for it to exacerbate, her loneliness was not something she was expecting to be amped up along with her libido.] A path I'll not tread in a forest.
[No matter how good the company, and by the time they get back, they can take cold showers. Separately.]
[See that was easy. And just like that, Maria is willing to drop it. Even though she can hear someone behind her, and she's hypersensitive to Edelgard's presence, she continues on as though she is completely unbothered.
There's no blush to her face, because she's waaay too old to be much bothered by the idea of sex, she's just... not going to do it here.
Getting back to Aefenglom might be kind of interesting though, and as she finishes filling her bags, she wipes a bit more unwarranted perspiration from her forehead. Her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks again, but it's nothing otherwise too notable.] I think we've done well in clearing them out.
[Edelgard makes quick work, as well, and soon she too is pulling back. She's not like Maria, her sexual experiences are entirely within Aefenglom's walls, and only on special occasions. That circumstance was born as much of culture as shame of her own body, though.]
As do I.
[Her cheeks heated, her body uncomfortably warm, and unable to sweat due to her undead nature, the vampire steps back and forces out a breath.]
Let us return.
[So that she can seek out relief, in one form or another. Hopefully managed, though she's beginning to worry that the ache in her belly won't be satisfied so easily.]

I like it not at all.

...Nor I.
[Though again, she does not pull back. She instead focuses even harder on the cutting, trying not to think about it.]
