You woke a fire inside of me
Separated from Liam from the moment they set foot on the scorching isles, Maea had resisted the urge to go looking for him, instead braving the festival on her own for a while. Unaffected by the heat and rather savoring the lack of layers, she darted between the stalls with mounting enthusiasm. Skewers of meat and vegetable, desserts and spicy drinks soon piled high in her basket, and as she made her way to the massive bonfire it was in a chipper mood.
Her offering, a delicate blown glass figurine of sunflowers, spider lilies and amaranth, was placed in the fire along with a share of the festival food - it seemed rude to stuff her face without sharing some with the god of the hour, after all - and afterwards she lingered in the baking heat to watch the dancers, feet tapping along to the beat of driving music. Munching on a fried treat of flaky dough stuffed eith savoury filling, she scanned the crowd for familiar faces; noticed several, and hastily slunk away upon spotting both Astaroth, Dantalion and Thalassa nearby, unwilling to invite trouble now when she'd stayed clear of it for so long.
Fortunately, in a small gathering consisting of Zavien and Sohalia she also found her partner; humming to herself she approached Liam from behind and reached out to playfully poke his shoulder, not yet aware of the mounting tension between him and a stranger.
Maea makes an offering of a blown glass flower bouquet and festival food.
