Maea
Oh, when the world is burning
Letting out a long breath of air, Maea searched Hadama's expression. But quiet though he was, the respect seemed genuine enough - reluctant but not placating - and finally she nodded, slumping back into her seat. "That's all I'll ever ask for from anyone." Being free to make her own decisions. To have her own opinions and choose her own course of action.
To do what she wanted, and if by chance it wasn't what she wanted, at least something she chose for herself.
Pushing the glass back and forth between her fingers, Maea's delicate seeming shoulders rose and fell in a light shrug. "The same as before. Search for weaknesses, assist my region, look for ways to help anyone who needs it. Improve myself, so I won't be so useless next time something happens." Thinking of the fiasco in the Feverlands, and the deep awareness in her gut when stood before Dahlia of just how outmatched she was, she shook her head with a grimace of actual disgust in herself. "If it will ease your worries about discord amongst the regions, I've been removed from my post as ambassador. Danta and I agree it's not the best role for me."
She didn't mention the argument or the anguish it had caused her; that was between her and the Maverick, a matter that had already been resolved.

Don't walk away
