Maea
Stars, hide your fires
He didn't sound like everything was fine, and she opened her mouth to argue when a chirrup sounded from Liam's jacket. Stunned, Maea untangled herself from all but one of the blankets and came padding over on bare feet to stare at the critters her partner pulled out - not quite casually, but rather like a schoolboy caught with a bundle of kittens. Abashed, fully knowing that it was too late to put them back.
Not sure what to think when adrenaline still surged through her veins, for starters she crouched down by his feet and extended a pale hand towards the curious green... lizard? No? Colorful, slinky, all limbs and eyes, Maea's brain struggled with the truth her eyes were feeding her. Dragons? Huh. Okay. But here? How, why - "Do we know what happened to the mother?" Was there a vengeful dragon somewhere in the Greatwood, pining for her adventurous brats? She doubted it, somehow, but it was such a long way between here and the Draig Cordillera... "Do they need anything?" Would she need to fireproof the house, somehow? Gods, but what she wouldn't give to bond with a dragon, too. Certainly Shii was her heart and pride, but even the wisp was intrigued, and... there were two of them. And they couldn't even thank the gods for a miracle, given the time of year.
Ah, this was hurting her head. At least Liam finally didn't have to wonder if he was somehow unworthy anymore. If companions were a mark of approval then he was indeed favored by luck. Well earned, truly.
