A Shady encounter ( 2/3 )

Confident her shields of warding would endure this conversation with what she had now identified as a shade, Maya calmed immensly however she kept her guard constantly up.  ' I'd shake your hand...  But' she dared to mock, indicated by her slight sni by the shade, she continued any way 'My is Maya Do'Urden, now do tell shade, Why do you follow them?  ' The shades eyes grew bright and it said in a slightly mocking tone, 'Oh so polite you are'.  With a mocking smile, Maya said 'I'd give you the whole introduction but I feel it would be Lost on you.  ' 'They are treacherous.  A blight to be eliminated, and worse, they have something that belongs to my daughter'.  'Ah, you parent the beast Maya sawid simply, her hands folding neatly in her lap, as she sits upon the edge of the craters lip.  The shades eyes flare again and his form coalesces into a more menacing appearing shadow of smoky of smoky blackness.  ' Beast!  She is no beast!  She is beautiful.  ' Maya says in a somewhat satisfied tone ' I don't doubt it.  ' for atleast now she knew the lengths this thing would go to, for that woman her companions claim, could destroy the world ' I speak of her nature.  Don't mistake me, I judge not, I simply state things as they are.  You want the amulet then?  ' She asked, raising her eyebrow in question toward the shade who only dissipates once more and resumes his bobbing.  'You would do well to watch your choice of words, woman. And yes, the necklace belongs to her.  ' It said after a time.  Then it asked, 'Where is it?  ' 'You know where it is.  ' she said The shades eyes flared again in irritation.  ' Then why would I ask?  ' Maya smiled faintly again once more, her eyes narrowing to barely visible slits.  In idle response the shade circled about closer to Maya once more, seeming to test the boundaries of his closeness.  Maya was again, not for the first time in this encounter, entirely sure she was safe.  Maya once more, seeming to test the boundaries of his closeness.  Maya was again, not for the first time in this encounter, entirely sure she was safe.
