"Well, there you go!" Charlie chimes, her smile bright and fanged, and clearly at odds with how the loreseeker was feeling. Maea clearly knew what her stance was on these issues, which in Charlie's mind, meant case closed.
Not wanting (or being at all qualified) to get into the complexities of why other people did the things they did, the priestess found herself nodding along as Maea spoke, offering a comforting smile every now and then. "It's really easy to shoot someone else down, especially when you're afraid." Which, given what Maea had said about Dahlia thus far, everyone in the room probably was. "And it's even better if you can just blame someone else. You standing up probably made them all feel guilty because they were too scared to. " She adds with a small shrug, before breathing a small firey butterfly into life and sending it Maea's way as the ancient slumped against the wall.
"It's just one of those things. They're probably saying the same about you, that you wouldn't listen. That's what everyone says when people disagree." Rolling her eyes somewhat, the blonde tosses a rock a few feet away. "Let them scoff and threaten. You did what you thought was right and if they can say that yelling at you and scoffing and threatening is what they'd do again if given the chance, then fuck 'em." Grinning, Charlie bounces her eyebrows.
"It's like what we talked about before. Either you do what you want, or you make the choice to do things you don't want. Based on what you've said...you know exactly what you want to do and you aren't willing to do something you don't. That's good. Being who you are can ruffle feathers, but doesn't it feel better than the alternative?"
