Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
Awkward stitches gradually evened out as she fell into a rhythm of pricking the fabtic, weaving the needle, then pulling the thread. With everything pinned up already no more thinking was required, and Maea was a bit surprised at how nice it actually was to sew. She'd hated the chore as a youth, when it was one of the few tasks she could do around the house, but it seemed that time had tempered her dislike into a sort of nostalgia.
"Mmh, I get that. I went there at first because it was outside the Grounds - I'd have gone anywhere to get away - but I didn't really return until this year. Being Ascended and all..." It wasn't like she'd been welcome in the forest, and so she had not really thought about it. "This time... I went because Flora didn't let me move to Torchline. I got stubborn and decided I wouldn't go back at all unless I found a rose - we made a deal that she'd get me a place to stay if I found one - but the more time I spent in the forest, the less it seemed to matter that I couldn't leave."
Pausing to reach for the glass, she took a sip of water but lingered with the rib pressed against the bottom lip. Thinking back on those sun-bright days with a warm fondness that colored her cheeks pink. "Possibly meeting Liam may have had something to do with that. Though we were really just friends to start with, he was so calm... it made my hectic striving seem rather pointless."

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
