Ophelia
we're just two ghosts
swimming in a glass half empty
swimming in a glass half empty
Perhaps it's a topic for the two of them to explore later, that they had gone down different paths in terms of self-care and self-indulgence despite their similar upbringings and geographical starts. Or perhaps it would be something for Maea to explore on her own, or with Dygra as her guide. "I can do that! I don't, either. But it doesn't bother me," they confess easily, tail swaying and smile serene. They quite enjoy figuring things out at their own pace and being beholden to nobody but themself.
Still, it seems to bother Maea quite a bit, and though Ophelia doesn't understand they can still sympathize with the distress she shows. Reaching out, they gently place their hand on Maea's, offering their fingers to grip and hold if it would soothe the woman's tumultuous emotions.
Luckily, Maea seems to recover soon enough, and Ophelia's head bows to the side obligingly when their hair is tugged on - laughing warmly. "I'll try not to! I've never had my own room, I'm not sure what I want." Smiling, they follow the hand that had tugged on their hair and butt their horns up against Maea's fingers. "I guess we both have a lot to figure out." But they're excited for it, and grateful that a few pesky spiders had ended in such a wonderful union.

trying vainly to forget
the pain that came with heartbeats
