MAEA
"I think they're beautiful," she told him, grinning happily as he tucked the deep blue feather in behind her ear. She raised her fingers to it, felt the velvet softness of it and heard it rustle next to her ear; she'd have to remember to remove it later, so it wouldn't get squished when they slept.
As he shifted, moving over to his back, she adjusted her wings to accomodate them as she followed. One tucking in to rest along her back, the other still draping over him like a blanket. Maea supposed she could just dismiss them again, but... he'd called them beautiful, and perhaps she was just a little bit vain. Wishing him to see them for as long as possible, if it made him even a little bit happy. Curling up by his side, head resting comfortably on his shoulder, she slipped an arm over his chest, happy to feel his heart beat against her palm.
"A boxing ring?" She sounded a bit amused. "You really enjoy fighting, don't you... how would it work?" Maea couldn't remember having heard of anything like it. The closest thing she could envision were the drunken brawls outside the VlamVloed, with farmers swinging wildly at one another after one drink too many.
As for Torchline, the prospect of him moving there... she couldn't say she was surprised. "you know..." she began slowly, eyes trailing off into the shadows of the room. "When I sold the farm, I thought I would settle down somewhere else right away. Maybe here, maybe in Halo. Didn't matter as long as I put down new roots somewhere. But... lately, I've realized that I don't really need that.
"The Hollowed Ground... I know this place, inside and out, but the more time passes, the more I can't help but think of it as the cage I have finally escaped. Coming back... It becomes harder every time."
She'd gotten a taste of what freedom was like. The mere idea of being confined to one place again, to tie herself to tightly to any one location... it was stifling.
