Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
Being recognized by a complete stranger in a foreign city was not something she had ever experienced before. The way her head came up was equally startled and wary, and if she hadn't exactly been on guard against him before, she certainly was now. Even when he continued to explain how he knew her - ah of course, Hadama again - she still felt unsettled. Like someone had peeked into her window while she thought herself alone.
"Yes... that would be me. Who is this friend of yours?" Because while she thought she knew, Maea wanted to hear it confirmed. This was Stormbreak, after all, where the Family had seized control; how was she to know this wasn't some ruse to get rid of someone who had dared to challenge Dahlia, no matter how briefly?
The cat was of no consequence in comparison. Indifferent, the short, thinly built woman merely shrugged that she didn't mind them - its purring did not distract her for one moment from the real problem at hand.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
A whisper within a sigh
