Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
She sighed. "When am I not going to be distracted?" Maea put a hand on her hip, shifting her weight to that leg and dragged her fingers through the hair again. A habit she couldn't shake, didn't even seem aware of. It left her white hair a tangled mess cascading down the shoulders, as unruly as her thoughts and life seemed at the moment. "If it's not Sunjata, it will be the death of someone I love, or arguments between friends, or conflicts of interest between guilds, or something else. If I'm to wait for happiness and harmony before doing something, I'll never move again in my life."
She did pause to listen when Loren relented and told her what he had seen. It was inadequate, void of detail and only teasing her curiosity further... but Maea had to agree that it wasn't nearly enough to go on to draw any conclusions.
It made her sigh, reluctant. "Fine. I'll look in on it, see if I can find out something else. I'll... let you know if I decide to do anything more concrete." It was something she would have done anyway, as he was one of the strongest mages she knew of, but when he said it like this, she felt a rather childish desire to refrain from his help just to be contrary. She didn't like being told what to do.
Maea wasn't very happy about leaving like this either, but the light coming in from the windows suggested dawn was approaching. She really had to go, and he should know this.
"I'll see you later, Loren," Maea said, touching a hand to his arm in quiet apology for rushing off with the conversation unfinished. But before she could change her mind, the girl turned and headed off for the door, and was through it before he could call her back.

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