Buuuuuuut, she won't be rude or crass about it, and Punk is the type to mind her own damn business and not ask any pesky questions about why they bailed on the war front or what their mission is if they're not actually hiring her to care.
Buck is in the same boat, as his faith generally espouses anti-authority (both in terms of gods and nobility alike) which is a current he hews to pretty closely. I imagine Circe followers have historically been persecuted for this, so Buck probably feels that he has no business aiding a crusade that may be doing something similar to someone else.

I think he could be interested in finding this "mageocracy" also, perhaps in hopes of finding more like-minded individuals or even fellow Circeans. Maybe he and Punk could have met in {City Name}, where he found her in a bad way after some fight and patched her back up again?
