// I tried to scream but my head was underwater //
The sudden opening of the door and a person stumbling in took the Ancient by surprise. Hurrying further into the room she turned, finding a lovely young woman stuttering apologies where she'd just been standing. Her hands came up to ward them off, immediately wanting to reassure. "No no, don't worry, I shouldn't linger on a threshold."
Tucking her hands in beneath her pits, Maea cocked her head aside with a look of mild confusion. "Yes? Oh, you mean this?" She wriggled her arms, indicating her hands. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just underestimated the night chill." Her cloak was tucked into a pack outside the village, as the day had been bright with sunlight and quite warm.
Taking a second look at the girl, something about her niggled at her memory. "Have we met? You seem familiar, somehow..."
