Maevh didn't know what to expect when she saw the portal-- it wasn't the first she'd seen, of course. There was one that let them step from the forest into the Fae Lands, but this one was different. There were... things, on the other side. She couldn't see just what, a blurry mesh of swirling shapes and colors; something that seemed so exceptionally unwise. And she wouldn't have entered, had it not been for the shove at her back, launching her forward into it. It figured that they would do this to her, of all people. She knew the most about the Fae and was easily the biggest threat.

Not that she had much time to ruminate on that, at least, not when it felt like her body was falling out of the sky. Falling a few feet before she felt something soft-- or at least, softer than the cobblestone would have been, softer than the ground. A loud, angry sort of grunt and a bounce of her body, taking a few sharp, pained breaths and trying to process what had just happened. Glancing down she noted a ruffled hat, a shirt... Shit. She'd just crushed a guy. Sort of. She wasn't exactly heavy, but she could only imagine he felt even worse than she did.

"Sorry." Her accent was thick, strange, not quite the Irish some would know, but closer to that than anything else, when she used a nearby half-wall to pry herself up, dusting off and turning back tothe poor guy who had gotten the brunt end of things. "Sorry sorry." She offered a hand to him, her grip surprisingly firm, with the intent of pulling him up.

OH MY GOSH I SOMEHOW HAD NOTIFS TURNED OFF

"Lady, don't be apologizing,"

Marshall said with a shake of his head, his voice drawling with something distinctly continental as he snatched his hat up from the wet ground and accepted the harmless assist to his feet. His height may have been nothing short of towering, but his dark eyes were as perplexed as the strange woman must have felt.

"I wasn't paying attention... or something. This town has rules I don't always get."

Shaking his hat to get the worst of the muck off, he frowned at it for a moment before begrudgingly replacing it upon his head. Proper bathing would have to happen later-- he didn't trust the clouds the liked the linger over this town.

No worries, I'm pretty easy going on slowness generally. :)

She wasn't sure what that was supposed to mean, but if he wasn't bothered by her dropping on him then she wasn't going to push it. Tucking a lock of messy hair behind her ear as she adjusted herself. He was tall, enough to make her squint briefly, bright blues peeking up before she adjusted herself. "Sure thing." She had no idea where she was, though that wasn't entirely obvious right away until she did a slow, circular turn. Looking around the place, the towering buildings, the weird dress. She looked out of place, though all the same so did he.

"Where... am I?" She asked finally, one hand planted on her hip as he brows furrowed, light purple pulling together, a distinct look. She stood out enough, tanned skin and light freckles, but beyond that, her dress seemed more historical garb-- leathers and finely sewn things. Nothing quite so odd and modest, but she wasn't as concerned with that, as the fact this wasn't the forest she loved.
