Maea
Oh, when the world is burning
Humming thoughtfully, she didn't say anything. If possible she would rather forget her death and all the events that led up to it, and never speak of it again. There were better things to do with her second chance at life, not least of which might be to take up painting, or dancing, or learn how to sing properly. This paint-by-numbers thing might be just the thing for her too; setting down the slingshot she blew on her cold fingers and continued to browse alongside Remi.
His nudge eased the frown from her brow, drawing out a little smile. "I hope you're right. Speaking of, it's not completely finalized yet but I did that experiment I told you about? And it seems like at least for creatures, the void infection is spreading by bites. I, uh, may have been bitten by a spider, in an unrelated accident... that could be healed, though it didn't work quite as quickly as usual. I thought you might like to know." Whatever it was that prevented Flora from being healed must have been an anomaly - more potent, perhaps, or left alone for too long, or... some other reason she wasn't aware of.
Brightening at the demonstration of the Travelling Tongue, genuine delight glittered in the pale woman's eyes. "It's a beautiful language!" she grinned. "It must be convenient, sharing a tongue few others can understand, no?" Shaking her head with a light laugh at the idea of the young woman nagging her parents to get their stuff together, Maea nudged Remi back with an elbow. "I'm sure you're not the only ones. I, for one, need to train more. And probably read up on state craft, now that I have a job that require some diplomacy. That's never been my strongest point." She rolled her eyes, unaware how truly prophetic her words would turn out to be.

Don't walk away
