Oh, you say you have to fall apart to really be someone
Spotting Danta on the horizon when he waved, Maea found herself needing to suppress a rather foolish little grin. There was something so very simple and easy over this homecoming. Even if she didn't exactly know the Theocrat well, or indeed the pale shadow he brought along in the form of Ophelia, she still recognized them. And they had come to greet her after a long journey, almost like a real family might. Maea thought she could be forgiven for assuming there to be a bond in the making here. However thin, however new - it still felt good.
"It's always weather for a good pyre," she replied with satisfaction lacing through the syllables while Danta made himself comfortable. A moment later Ophelia had joined them, and suddenly the number of tails and horns on display let Maea feel like she actually belonged. Right here, with these people.
Accepting the bottle offered, she sniffed the contents before taking a cautious sip, then passed it along to Ophelia. "What duty are you reporting for? I thought we would be talking about jobs, and touring the shrine?" Raising a quizzical brow at Danta for an explanation, she savored the taste of the wine , honestly too content to let any change of plan get to her. More was better, and that went for things to do as well as additional company.
