Maea
I am out with lanterns
If nothing else, the surprise visit did manage to finally shake the last cobwebs from Maea's sleep deprived mind. Bright and awake now, she watched with satisfaction how the marauders darted away from her moths and followed Kaisel's train of crumbs into the woods. "That went smoother than I expected," she noted, giving the young dragoon a thumbs up and Remi a toothy grin. Liam, in turn, received a somewhat lingering scrutiny - just to make triple sure he wasn't hurt - and when she was satisfied with the assessment, the fires she'd summoned burned out.
Exchanging the rake for a shovel, she bounded up to Liam before anyone else could claim the spot by his side. Smiling came easy these days, bright and generous in a way not seen for years upon years. Maybe Remi would remember the fleeting period some ten years earlier when she'd been head over heels in love, and draw some conclusions, but to anyone else it would probably seem out of character.
"What if we place the trees along the edge of the clearing, and braid them together?" she suggested as they began to dig, making sure not to harm the roots. "They'd grow into a living fence, almost."
Maea suggest planting the saplings around the perimeter of the training ground and weaving them into a living fence.
