Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
The way she wrinkled her nose said more than enough about her thoughts on it, dangerous or not. It sounded far too much like the ominous words about the Voice back in the day, and they had turned out to carry quite a lot of weight.
Clearing her throat - and her mind, because who wanted to keep hashing over the unsolvable problem on a day like this? - Maea's gaze roved high and low to avoid meeting Tal's. She wasn't exactly blushing, but her cheeks looked a bit more pink than what the wind and the bite of cold could account for. "I mean, I am glad to see you," she tried, waving off his teasing with her mouth twitching to hold back a smile. "Uh, it's... Harper Quinn. Do you know him?"
It felt strange to take his name into her mouth like this. Always their encounters had been private affairs, solitary conversations between half-strangers and almost-friends that leapfrogged the boundaries between what was personal and what was downright intimate. Yet she was proud to call Harper a friend, and she peered curiously at Talyson, intrigued by the prospect of sharing a connection though a common acquaintance.

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
