Back from where? Maketh wants to ask, because she never left, she was just following protocol. Except that it doesn't work in Hadriel, she doesn't understand any of the rules anymore. It used to be so easy. Toe the line, memorize the rules, and everything would be okay. Except now she's starting to wonder if maybe the rules hadn't been the problem in the first place.

Maketh swallows hard, reaching out to put her hand awkwardly on Lilith's shoulder. "I didn't--I didn't mean to...worry you."

Something in her head malfunctioned for a moment. She forgot a rule. That's all. It's fine. Everything is fine.
