The sun is gonna reappear
The sun is gonna reappear
Seeing Melita's expression, a wry shrug from the ancient held a note of defensiveness about it. "Yeah? Well. If fears weren't irrational, they wouldn't be a problem, right?" Allowing the pebble to roll off her fingers and back onto the beach, she stood up and turned a bit to scan the brush and bramble for some other place to start digging. If Melita planted her seed here, it might be good to spread out a bit.
"Hmm? Oh. The freedom without consequences kind," she replied, with a distant look on her face. "Lots of blood and sex and debauchery... At least that's what I'm seeing in the others. Entropy, upsetting the balance, embracing change - that last part is the only bit that really makes sense to me. It's going... so-so to actually practice it." Wiggling her hand like a sew-saw, she eventually shrugged. "I bet your kind of chaos actually makes people laugh. That might be the real difference."
And maybe it was time for her to explore for herself which kind she really preferred. If she lamented being left curious as to what the Honeybee had been up to, it didn't show; Maea simply smiled and accepted the secret with another quiet laugh.

Good days are gonna come along
Hold on, hold on!
Hold on, hold on!
