Maea
Oh, when the world is burning
Plans were starting to spin as Remi lowered his voice, offering a secret that lent her a spark of hope. Anything, he said. Anything must surely include anything from beyond this world, right? And just knowing that it was out there somewhere was like a rope tossed into the sea, available for any drowning soul to cling to.
Chuckling softly at his not-really-joke, Maea looked tempted and horrified at the notion. "You would have to protect me against more than the Family," she warned, though didn't seem very upset at the idea of getting on Ronin's black-list. Not yet, at leas - she hadn't had time to really let the concept sink in. "But you're probably right. What we do need are ways to remain undetected, and make a quick escape if necessary. Not to mention... you don't happen to know where some of those translation glasses has ended up, do you? I think Jigano had a pair, and Wessex had an upgrade of some sort... Whatever was found would probably take some help to understand." She wasn't saying no, of course. But Maea was not going to make the mistake of leaping into deep waters without knowing that she could get out again. Once had been quite enough.

Don't walk away
