[ Hibiki makes a quick mental note to help with cleaning up the steps before she runs off to find that cow again. For the moment though, she hands Maria to the staff... on top of assuring one of them who asks if she is okay that she's fine, even if it looks like she should be plenty susceptible to the cold herself.

For a moment, she keeps an eye on Maria, making sure personally that she's in good hands before flashing her a smile, taking her hand and squeezing it gently. ]

Mm... okay, these people will take good care of you.

[ The staff look like they want to move her someplace to better warm her up, so Hibiki has to wrap this up quick... ]

I've gotta go back for that cow, but I'll come back and check on you as soon as I'm done...!

[ She'll just grab PLENTY of tasty treats to coax him with! And hopefully by the time she finishes, Maria will be nice and toasty... either in a hot spring or a comfy bed. ]
