MAEA
Maea didn't notice Boreal's aid, though likely wouldn't have minded even if she did. Too focused on the fish, she grew very still when the school came flying her way. Glittering droplets didn't even quiver on the horns and skin while she waited, intense in her focus. Another sudden launch - and this time she vanished entirely beneath the surface before emerging a moment later, whooping as she held a wriggling fish in both her hands.
"I caught one! Look Tal, I got it!" Laughing with delight Maea came wading back up on the shore, slipping a bit on the slippery cliffs. A quick bite across the back of the fish's head put it out of its misery. A faint shudder of pleasure passed through her as blood touched her tongue; but the gleam in her eyes soon faded, and she had a new air of contentment about her as she settled down to eat.
"I see. You find people in the strangest places. Guess I can understand why someone would be out here though. It's nice - might be my favorite place in the Grounds right now."
Raw fish was not very tasty, she found. The blood was a bit thin, and the flesh wriggly. "Do you have flint and steel on hand? I just need a spark." She extended her snack like a child asking for more ketchup on her burger.
"I've been well. Keeping busy... Danta gave me a job; you're looking at the new Ambassador for the Hollowed Grounds." Color warmed her cheeks; she had not expected anything when asking. Certainly not to be so pleased when she actually got the job. "I met Ronin, and Remi too... never had a chance to talk to them like that before, but it was nice. I like them a lot. And I met Dygra too!" Maea's eyes glazed over at the recollection. "She was... so warm. I finally understand why the others call her Mother. I never knew mine so I can't compare, but... it makes sense."
