Gazing at Liam as he began to process her questions, she ate more slowly from her own bowl. This was nice. More than nice; if evenings like this was what living in the Greatwood would bring then she had been a fool for resisting for as long as she had. Maea enjoyed tackling the problem of what to do - with themselves, with the region, in what capacity - and she especially liked seeing how expressive his face got as he thought. If at first she'd written him off as just a pretty face and thought nothing more about it, now that she knew him better those same handsome features were gaining character, speaking a langage she was growing to understand. And appreciate. And the moment she caught herself staring, her gaze darted off to the side, seeking refuge in the safety of their conversation.
"People need a place to stay if they come here," she reflected around a piece if venison. "The inn that's here is perfectly adequate under normal circumstances... but now there are no vacancies." Perhaps a new project could mean expanding the inn. "People also need to eat, so we might need to check with the Bodega to see what the merchants are running out of. And look over the skyport, to ensure it's holding up." All things they could do without stepping on any toes, all projects that approached the responsibility of a government without actually being one.
"Maybe if we did some projects around the region, you could get a better feel for if you want to do more, or not?" she suggested. Maea thought he would make a good ruler, but that meant nothing unless Liam wanted it for himself.
