Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
Subtle glances was thrown about the girl when she began to talk of age. Maea wasn't one to judge but something about the timeline didn't quite match up with the look of the girl. Was she too misaligned with the flow of time? Made to grow faster than nature intended, for whatever purpose? That seemed to happen quite frequently, lately, and made the generations blur together in a highly confusing way.
Drawing a soft breath of surprise upon hearing the names of Theea's parents, a complex expression ghosted past her face. "I see. I never met them... but I don't think there's anyone who haven't at lelast heard of Ashetta. She aided in reviving Ronin, after all. And I did see her fight, once." A dervish on the battlefield, an otherworldly force that blasted through an obstacle the naturals hadn't been able to remove for centuries. Maea recalled the awe she had felt, the envy and desire to be like that - to feel so deeply and go so far for someone. To a girl who'd never been able to realize any of her dreams, who'd just lost everything, it had been a wakeup call.
Sitting quietly, lost for a moment in her own thoughts while Theea's enthusiasm washed over her, Maea was shaken back to the present when Ronin's name echoed against her musings. Again she was surprised, though perhaps not as much as before; the Taliesin clan was a sprawling bunch, and another branch on the tree seemed only par for the course.
"Yes, I know them. Remi gave me the house I live in now; I believe he built it during his time here." As a niece of his, that made Theea doubly welcome, as family to one of her closer friends. "It seems we have more friends and connections in common than differences," she added, amused when even Elizabeth's name cropped up. She would have to work hard so as to be worthy of a place in that network.
