[Maes is once again thrown off his guard for a second. But he quickly demands his brain shut up. He can freak out about skinless, bone children that can turn others into stone later. Instead he says dryly:]

Gee. You'd think they'd have thought of that. [Maes decides it's best not to be sarcastic right now, he'll chalk it up to nerves. Usually he's a little nicer around children, but this is just not a good day. He takes a breath to calm himself.]

Did you pick up on how to access a map on this thing? Or ,I guess if nothing else, we can use it to ask others for help. If you know, you can just tell me where to push.

[Maes, obviously, had skin to use. His brow furrows at the admission of that ability.]

You just keep surprising me, you know that?
