Maea
Oh, when the world is burning
Pausing to gaze thoughtfully back at him with his fingers hovering an inch from her neck, Maea thought back over her life. "Hm... probably?" It was more honest than tactful. "If I thought there was something that could be helped. But if there's nothing anyone else can do, there's not much point in talking about it, right?" Some things - like the nightmares, like the constant hamster wheel of trauma and depression - could only be solved by her. Maybe talking could offer new perspectives, but at the end of the day it was for her to fix herself.
"Why, what was it like?" she wondered, intrigued to learn more of his homeland despite the apparent dangers it had come with. It certainly explained why he and Ronin both had been so accomplished when arriving here; they'd already been hardened to the difficulties that came with battle, while the Grounders had long since accepted defeat. "I wonder... if there's anything from your past that might help us all now? This invasion, it's unlike anything I've seen before. At this rate we'll be overrun before anyone can even decide whether to fight or how to go about it. But there has to be a way."

Don't walk away
