MAEA
Peace offerings, mutual agreements to be better, to work on their issues, to work on them. Turns out, this whole 'being together' was more complicated than Maea had expected, and perhaps for the first time she understood what she really asked of Sunjata. The extent to his wounds, how much he had to care to risk doing this again, so soon after it had gone to pieces before. For a moment Maea felt very guilty. Then he agreed with a single word and put his arms around her, in a gentle embrace. Closing the distance.
She had to bite the inside of her cheek hard to neither wince or flinch as being touched actually did hurt. Breathing through the agony, the girl just refused to acknowledge it, knowing everything she just said would come into question if she reacted. Not glass. Not clay. She would not break.
When he withdrew again to help her into the shower, Maes simply nodded. Gave him än impish, rueful smile in return for the stink look he gave her. Accepting an arm, she slipped into the shower and Sunjata's waiting arms. "I'm in your capable hands, good sir. Light on the water, heavy on the soap, as they say," she told him, mouth quirking in a lopsided smile. Trying to lighten the mood a bit, for all that she was still tired and aching and sad that her happy surprise had led them into an argument.
