Maea
The worst of all blessings
Pausing to take in the expanse of water, Maea shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight with a hand so pale it seemed to glow. Breathing deep the scents of clean water and fresh air, a hum of appreciation from her harmonized with the river song for the moment it lasted.
"I can see why," she murmured. "There must be plenty of wildlife around, yes? The abundance... it's like nothing I could have dreamed of back home."
Lingering a while longer, she eventually resumed the trek and hurried to catch up. Liam had long legs, she'd learned, and while the pace he set wasn't grueling she still had to put some effort in to not fall behind.
With the rushing water on one side, it also proved challenging to maintain focus on the forest's edge and the ever elusive glints of scarlet and gold. Maea didn't mind; her thoughts felt as high and clear as the Flowerbirth sky, and it would take something very serious to rampen her spirits today.
