Maea
I am out with lanterns
Twisting around onto her belly, Maea nestled her head on the cusion of her arms while she watched him work. The smile on her lips faltered at the news that he would be joining the expedition; that made two of her friends at risk of never coming home. "I see... you're going, too. Hadama told me about what awaits... Be careful, yeah? Nothing is more important than coming back home again." Win or lose, as long as they stayed alive there would be more chances. And it wasn't as though they were helpless. It felt incredibly good to be able to offer some good news. "Yes, actually! Quite recently, too. I found an interesting plant specimen... a friend of mine offered to bring it north, for your greenhouses. We thought it might brighten things up for all of you. So, as you can imagine, I've been busy, in a good way. Lots of forest walks does wonder for the mind."
Following with interest as Sah brought out the sketch, she only needed a quick glance to confirm that it was everything she had requested. Breathless with mingled awe and envy as the garment was spun into being, she let out a heartfelt sigh as he held it up for inspection. A beautiful robe, it shimmered like silk in the dim light of the cavern. Reversible, one side was a deep cherry red with gold details while the other was of a pale ivory, unadorned and elegant in its simplicity. She knew it would fit without even trying it on, and from now on she wouldn't have to worry about her clothes while fighting or traveling across the Climb.
"It's perfect," came her verdict. "You're a marvel, I couldn't have made it better myself. Thank you, Sah." She couldn't take her eyes off the robe. The more she looked, the more she adored the details; an excited splashing of feet behind her spoke volumes of her appreciation.
