MAEA
Carry me through this world alive
I feel no more, this suffering
I feel no more, this suffering
She pouted. Sulked for a while after her coaxing and prodding failed to work... but as always his charm was irresistible, and Maea relented with a sigh.
"Fine, keep your secrets for now then. I'll hold you to that promise though!" She smiled at him, lifting a threatening finger to poke his cheek again. "I do love a good riddle."
Perhaps it was a good thing that the Citadel was close enough to see, because her strength was soon flagging again. To observing eyes she would seem little more than a sick (or perhaps drunk) idiot, underdressed in the cold Halo evening where shadows had already begun to lengthen. The snow was picking up, and Maea knew it would be good to get inside, to find a bed and sleep for long, blissful hours. It would take a while for her to replenish her strength, but... she thought it was worth it. Not only had the strain of magic on her mind eased, but she'd had a chance to actually talk to Amun.
"Mhmm, I will, believe me," she told him. "Will you stay for a while, or are you going back to the Sea of Glass?" This little incident had interrupted his exploration of the area... but she couldn't bring herself to feel guilty about it.
Regardless of his choice, she would be down for the better part of the coming days. Bedded down in a room at the inn, eating and sleeping; no fun at all, even for someone as generous with the term as him.

Bury me in this cold light
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin
I feed the wolf, and shed my skin
