Maea
The worst of all blessings
Smiling sheepishly at the compliment, she did a little curtsy before seating herself beside him. "Thanks! Glad you like it." Taking a bite of her toast, she would have been happy to listen to Liam talk about everything and nothing for the remainder of the meal, though as always he didn't go into detail unless it was anything serious. The reflection on the dwindling number of adventurers gave her pause; she'd spent a good chunk of the season traveling and hadn't thought much about it.
"Yeah? You might be right. Not to mention, it's expensive to travel, unless they can get their own food. Even the most dogged explorers need to go home and resupply occasionally." Taking a sip from her glass, Maea cast a sideways glance at Liam. "Of course, the mess at the party might have something to do with it, as well. People might be afraid of retaliations, getting caught up in events..." She didn't blame anyone for choosing safety over the thankless job of searching for what was so rarely found.
