// May the road rise up to meet you //
Looking up from the stack of fallen branches she had begun to arrange into a firepit, Maea's face lit up as her name came drifting on the evening breeze. "Alys! What a pleasant surprise - if I'd known you were back in King's End I'd have come to see you."
Noticing the pale shadow by the seer's feet, the ancient woman stilled with bated breath. Slowly setting down the burdens to free her hands, she turned while remaining crouched and took in the little ursur. "Oh - is this..?" It had to be the companion, Sascha, beloved by so many and the inspiration for her own quest... Without really knowing why, Maea's eyes stung with tears even as she smiled. "She's beautiful."
Drawn in by the surge of emotion in her, a light flickered in the shadow of the trees, bobbing over to drift over her shoulders. No bigger than a firefly one moment and pulsing into a torch's brightness the next, Shii's light was of a cool and heatless kind, and a soft murmur like distant voices expressed curiosity about the pair - inviting, mischievous, suggesting they should linger for a while.
