MAEA
Rolling a slice of cheese around a grape before popping it into her mouth, Maea hummed contentedly at the way flavors mingled on her tongue. "It is," she assured, with a happy little wiggle. "It's the best meal I've had in days." All the more credit to him if it wasn't habit that brought this on. It was a nice thought and one she appreciated very much, not only because of the extra time it afforded them that could be spent on the search. Her own stretches of hermit life had showed her how far one could go on the bare necessities, to the point where a simple lunch basket became a luxury. To sit in the sunlight on a beautiful day and share a meal with someone else was another brand of the same, something she'd cast aside as unnecessary and slightly out of reach.
Far from disappointed, if anything his simple way of life only roused her interest further. "It sounds very peaceful, though," Maea pointed out. "While the sudden invasion of the void can't have been fun to deal with, it seems to me that you've been doing well for yourself." Looking at him, he was healthy, in good shape and had an optimism about him that felt refreshing after so many years of seeing only weary, worried faces. Maea hoped he would be able to retain that light as the year progressed, because it was something they all needed. "Is it hard to get by, without work? I hear Deepfrost gets as rough here as in the Grounds." While certainly possible to eke a living off hunting, foraging and doing odd jobs, she knew it wasn't an easy lifestyle, nor one that suited everyone.

I see a new horizon, holding on to hope
Say goodbye to all my pain when it's time for me to go
