Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
There had been a time when the sight of him like this would have stolen her breath away. Tall, dark and looming, filling her entire field of vision as he encroached on the narrow space. Glistening with moisture in the wan light. Even now, she had to admire the unintentional force of his presence. No wonder she had been unable to resist - Sunjata was a force of nature, now more than ever.
She felt nothing, however. No speeding pulse, no catching breath, not the prickle of electrifying skin. Cold uncaring numbness was all she had to offer - and her unwavering gaze, distant and unreadable. Small and pale as ever, Maea knew she probably looked the same as always. But appearances were deceiving.
"I wonder if it's possible," she murmured, unperturbed by the way he blocked the exit now. She was not trapped - not by him. "The thing is, it still hurts. For you, years have passed. But to me it was yesterday that we parted. Even if I said we could start over and be friends again... I would be lying if I ever said I was happy to see you well and thriving without me." Petty and cruel, perhaps, but as it turned out Maea had plenty of darkness inside. Unleshed already, even if the effects were difficult to determine.

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