Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
Maea listened, in the way she was wont to do. With rapt attention, her whole being focused on the person in front of her, as if she was listening with more than just her ears. Watching, feeling, tasting every word, expression, as if it might somehow help her understand better what was said. Whether it worked was... questionable.
"Isn't it possible you simply missed her?" she asked gently. "Though I understand the comfort in holding to certain traditions... I've lost touch with all of mine recently." Self inflicted though it was, as she'd sold her home and moved away from the Grounds... Maea still felt the lack of roots at times.
She made a bit of a face when the question was reflected back, amused and annoyed with herself.
"Love," she replied with a shrug. "I met a man that screamed of trouble and heartache, and let myself get close enough to develop feelings for him. And now I reap the just reward, wading knee deep in trouble and heartache both." Maea tucked a strand of hair behind an ear. Her eyes moved, flitted briefly over Delphia - far more concerned with the woman's state of undress than her - to the soap and herbs that had been used.
"Would your ritual help with my problems too, you think?" she asked, more than a little curious.

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
