Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
'Better' was good. Better was a starting point. Meant he probably wasn't drowning, at least... and as he went on to explain about the lack of sleep, Maes made a soft sound in her throat, full of sympathy. "At least that's taken care of now. I hope you will sleep better..." Really, the sensible thing would be to send him off to bed right away, and save the food for later. But... honestly, Maea couldn't summon the strength to insist on anything.
The question was reflected back on herself. It was something she should have expected, and yet she was unprepared for it. Didn't know what to answer, that wouldn't have the whole elephant prodded awake again. Her silence was long, hesitant... but in the end, truth was all the could offer.
"In some ways... yes. Eating, sleeping, working... I've just been a bit... lost. Keep questioning everything I do. And say. Like I'm on the verge of breaking everything I touch..." Her eyes flitted from the crackling flames and towards Sunjata. Not able to smile; her chest hurt too much.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
A whisper within a sigh
