Oh, you say you have to fall apart to really be someone
Taking a sack as they were handed out, Maea jumped off the ship and climbed ashore. "Got it. I'll be staying within sight of you." Still, it was with some relief she headed up towards the volcano and away from the others. Being crowded together with others only reminded her of how short her patience was right now, and how brittle her composure remained.
Picking rocks was a good way to work off some of that. The way she threw herself into the task was almost frantic in nature. It didn't take long before the sack grew too heavy to carry along, so she began to make round trips back and forth instead, carrying what she could in her arms. Needing to pay attention to her surroundings was a bit annoying though; hardly unusual, as she had spent a lot of time alone in the Wilds, but irritating.
Maea heads a ways up the slope to collect rocks.
