Maea
The worst of all blessings
As promised, she wasn't gone more than a few minutes. When she emerged back down the stairs from her small room it seemed she'd managed quite a bit in that short time, as not only had she changed into a comfortable skirt and the shirt of midnight blue that he'd helped her pick out, but her hair had been let down and rebraided into a loose tail spilling down a thin shoulder. A subtle pink flush of her cheeks was all that stained her face now - and she felt calmer, all enthusiasm rekindled as she joined Liam on the couch.
"Hi," she said softly, the greeting belated but no less welcoming. "Thank you for waiting... let's eat. How's your day been?" Pouring a glass of fizzing cider for each of them, she settled in with her plate on the lap, taking advantage of the chance to finally relax. It felt like she'd been in motion since she woke up, all hectic nervousness and determination. Not that it had done her much good.
