Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
A lopsided smile crinkled the corner of an eye, not quite a wink, but almost. "I would be a very intolerant person indeed, if I couldn't handle hearing the truth," she said dryly. "I'm a blunt speaker too, alas. It really does rub some people the wrong way... but at least we don't have to keep track of pointless lies and complications, right?" Maea's tail coiled slowly over the moss, lazily plucking pinecones and arranging them in a circle around her.
One was tossed loosely towards Theea for the girl to catch, if she could, if only to stop the spiraling. "Your Nonna has the right of it. May I remind you that you would be a literal child if not for Frey? What is it that you expect of one such as yourself, when you're barely out of diapers?" A teasing note crept into Maea's tone, not mocking but definitely challenging. "But perhaps you are right. Maybe smiling really is all you'll ever be capable of. What then? If nothing you do ever measure up to what your amazing relatives have achieved... does that mean your life is useless? Do you really believe that?"

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
You choose to stay
