Maea
I see you when you chase
All the dreams inside your head
All the dreams inside your head
It was just as well that Nova didn't pick up on her moods, or the conversation would turn dour very quickly. As it was, Maea was content to let herself be swayed back to lighthearted chatter, rather pleased to get a reaction before the topic changed again. "Nice. Did you catch anything? I miss the ningo skewers they sold at the market - do they still have them?"
Expanding with pleasure at the attention, Shii answered the girl by squeaking out a partial drinking song, a whispered echo of one they heard a few tables down before Nova joined them. Swaying this way and that, the little wisp danced along to the tune and settled onto the table before the hybrid once it was done, clearly expecting praise. Amused, Maea clapped; it was too bad Nova couldn't feel the smug self-importance that oozed from the glowing speck.
"Don't encourage 'em, or you'll be singing too before you know it," she warned, wise from experience.

I see you when you laugh
And when you love until the bitter end
And when you love until the bitter end
