Maea
Oh, when the world is burning
Blushing as one caught with a secret, Maea laughed weakly. The warmth that flooded her at Ru's simple expression of affection threatened to go straight to her head, and as she was led towards the forge in the open welcome she had come to associate with the Valkyrie, Maea had to blink against a burn in her eyes that had grown too familiar as of late.
Focusing on what Hotaru was unpacking instead, the colorful shards of broken glass drew a delighted little smile to her lips that brightened her expression. Theywere beautiful, and Maea was surprised by the notion that Ancients might be proficient at creating anything that wasn't bloody and gruesome. She cast a glance at her hands, recalling what Hadama had said while teaching her about blacksmithing...
"Yeah? That's... admittedly wonderful to hear. That we're good for more than killing and ruining things, I mean."
Accepting the crucible after rolling up her sleeves, she reached into the forge and nestled it into the blazing coals. Having to reach quite a bit to center it, she came away with a streak of soot on her cheek and steam wafting from the pale arm.
"Glass is made from sand, right? Is any kind of sand good?"

Don't walk away
