Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
Habits died slowly, but at least she had reached a place where Maea could spot them in time. Listening to Remi, it became quite clear that she was on the brink of doing it again; getting hooked on an idea and leaping off without thinking it through to the end. Thank the Gods that at least one of them remained sensible in the face of hope.
"I'm sorry. You said you wouldn't get involved, and yet I still..." Dragging a hand over her eyes, she drew a deep breath and forced the already spinning cogs of plans to stop, to reassess. "Yeah... that might be the better way. I was thinking of big things like portals and two-way mirrors between regions, but perhaps that's not necessarily what we need." She considered for a while, contemplating the various regions and their colorful populations. "And perhaps it isn't one meeting, but several that I should arrange. Or just suggest - which would be a lot easier than cramming half of Caido into a single venue."
Returning his wry smile, Maea bumped her head lightly against the tree trunk, leaving silvery strands caught against the bark. "Looks like I have travel in my future. And you? I hope the rest of your quest won't involve quite as many depressing chats... it really wasn't my intention to dampen your spirits like this." Despite how useful it was, if it came at the cost of his smile then Maea wished she could have kept her mouth closed.

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
