Maea
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
Dantalion's joke actually made her laugh. Was it a bit overly cheerful, a touch too vibrant? Who knew, who cared - so far no one had disrupted this part of the event, which made it a glowing success compared to the meeting earlier in the day. Slinging an arm around Kiada's waist and leaning into the hug for a moment before pulling away, Maea shared a toothy smile with Astaroth and nodded. "Thank you. And he's right, you all look wonderful - that's a mission accomplished as far as I'm concerned."
Hearing her name called, she turned to see Charlie approach. Maea's mouth twitched, turning a touch nervous at the sight of the priestess. "I'm glad you like it," she replied. "Have fun! I'll, eh, I think I will go find something to eat." Sharing a smile between the group, she peeled herself away from them and began to make her way towards the grand doors.
Waving at Hadama and Thalassa when she spotted them in the crowd, she gave the Wardens of Halo a wide berth, opting instead to find a plate and some food.
With something to munch on acquired, she eventually approached Remi and Ronin with a lopsided smile. "Hello, you. Thank you for coming. It's already been an eventful day... Do you want the news now or later?" This was the Hollowed Grounds, after all - absolutely nothing could happen here without something going horribly wrong.

And I remember thinking — I want to be like them
