Maea
give me shelter, or show me heart
Catching only the tail end of his wide grin, a little blurry due to the tears rising in her eyes, she felt the brightness of it all the same. It lent her decision a new kind of weight, consolidating it in the joy of this person; this friend, who genuinely seemed to care whether she was there or not. Laughing again from the sheer infectious excitement in his voice, Maea sniffed and splashed some water over her face in an attempt to gather herself.
"Ah, yes. Sure. Maybe... we can do a housewarming party? Since I'm changing my plans, I'll need to tell my friends, and show them I've actually had some luck, after all." It was ironic, in a way. By sending her away, Flora had inadvertently brought on an avalanche of fortunate twists to Maea's life. If the queen had intended to punish her, it had backfired royally.
A smug, vindictive little grin granted a glimpse of her sharp fangs; "Maybe I'll invite Flora, too. She should be happy to hear I won't shade her sand after all."

watch me fall apart
and I'll be yours to keep
