Maea
The worst of all blessings
Returning to the present with a jolt as someone nearby began to speak, Maea groaned inwardly as she saw Flora approach. Part of her wanted to shrivel up and cower in the face of that cold string of words. She suppressed it, inhaling as slowly as she could. Dressed in the armor that Dygra had blessed - picked out by one of said fathers actually - she somehow managed to keep her back straight, shoulders down, chin up. Actually up, because Flora was a fair few inches taller than herself.
There was a moment of silence following upon the last declaration. "I am sorry you feel that way," Maea said, voice soft and her tone neutral. "As I don't know you well, I did not know what to give you. I am very greatful for the help you gave me, though. Thank you. I'm sorry it took me this long to express myself."
Looking at the queen, attempting to assess the situation only to give up - she'd never been able to read a room anyway - Maea offered her a polite bow, hand over heart. It slammed away against her ribcage, throbbing through every vein; a call to arms she had to ignore, or she may as well turn on her heel and board the ship again.
"Is there a way to make you reconsider? I would like a chance to make amends for my mistakes and to start over in a new place."
