MAEA
Waving a hand lazily, Maea didn't hold it against him. "It's fine, don't worry about it. I appreciate the sentiment." The number of people that had expressed any kind of concern for her wellbeing could be counter on one hand. At this point she was simply surprised when it happened.
Sensing that she had to choose her words more carefully, Maea sat up and crossed her legs beneath her, so she could face Talyson properly.
"Yes and no," she said, keeping it honest. "It was just after I had been freed from stasis. I still barely understood what I had become, and being around people was very overwhelming." It still was, honestly, but fortunately it got better - easier - with every day that passed.
"We were talking, and then a crow stole a ring of hers, and I knocked the bird down to get it back for her... and when the bloodlust kicks in, it doesn't distinguish betwewn people and animals. So... I got scared. Of myself, and my own reactions, and the idea that I could hurt someone if they let their guard down too much around me." Her gaze dropped to her hands, folded neatly in her lap. "So I said some things that made her leave. It seemed like the best way to keep her safe."
Which didn't excuse the fact that the woman had been made to feel afraid. Maea just wished she didn't still believe it was a good idea to keep some distance with most others. At least those who were not strong enough to stop her, if it came to that.
