MAEA
Astra was more than welcome in her lap, and Maea scritched the luxere's back, glad to feel the warm body in her lap. Perhaps she was a little surprised when Loren returned her gesture, but she leaned into it, grateful that he accepted her presence.
"I can't... help but draw some paralells. Between your situation, and the Abandoned." She mused aloud, voice rather quiet. More than a little sad. "We're also led to believe that we are at fault for being born with the magic inside us. Perhaps more so before than now, but... it's why my father did what he did. To instill in me the importance of not growing arrogant. We were to earn back the respect and love of the gods by never using the magic, never growing it...
"As if we would be more worthy, make up for old mistakes by denying our own natures." She shook her head, saddened by the fact that she had been living this denial for so very long. Still did, in many ways, unable to believe she had any real worth.
Shifting her arm, Maea brought her hand up to touch his hair, stroke it gently between her fingers. "We can only be who we are. And do the best with what we've been given. You try your best, and that's all anyone should ever ask of you."
