over and over again

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." She laughed at that. Now, she could have pointed out that bravery and stupidity was different things. That a brave man walked up to a stranger and offered to show the way home, while a fool would have tried to tell the stranger where home was and dragged them along without listening. But they were telling jokes now, so Maea kept the serious words to herself. It was far easier to play along. To grin back, spin a tale with just enough truth to be on the moral side of lying, and be prepared to shrug off any questions with the same ease as Amun did. "I invited Ludo to the Fiat Lux this... last.. year. Turns out they're a wonderful dancer" she offered. Laughter played in her eyes as she recalled the look on people's faces as she walked the festival with the spooky apparition hovering about. It had been wonderful; the best company she'd had in many years. She did not doubt Ludo had appreciated the festival far more than she usually did herself. "And you? What's your secret, Amun? Don't you dare try to dodge this one."
