MaeA
... and out
on the other side. She blinked. Half blinded from the bright light of the portal, and dazed from too much walking on nowhere near enough sleep, the girl stared about for some time before the reality of what she saw truly sank in. Home. She was home again. Back to familiar rolling hills and faded green trees in the distance. They were a brighter shade of green than she remembered, but it might just be the contrast to the white tundra she had left behind. There was no wind here. No barren mountainsides, no drifting snow or looming clouds overhead. Only a gentle breeze that carried with it a scent of fresh spring greens, of water and flowers, and... mud. Gods, it reeked of it! Clasping a hand over her mouth, Maea took a few steps forward to clear the way, in case Amun were to follow behind her, and looked about to see if she could find the source of the foul smell. you're so cold, but you feel alive. |

ADAM Adam was flying around the spire as a blackbird, trying to see if it would work for his jump-off-it-for-kicks plan. So far, things looked good. The top was still open and there were plenty of spots you could jump from. Sure, it would be horribly terrifying for a moment, but then the joy of flight would take over.
And there was a lot of joy in flight. He spun in midair, trilling happily--and as he was upside down, he caught a glimpse of something bright down by the ground. Too bright to be anything normal. He glided down to check it out, carefully staying a ways above in case it was anything dangerous. Upon seeing Maea though, Adam gave out a cheerful yell that began as a bird call and ended as 'hey!!' as he transformed back to his human self, dropping down before her. "Maea! Holy shit, it's been ages!" Not just for him either, if what Jigano had said was true. Walking up to her he put a hand on her shoulder, noting her uncomfortable body language. "You okay?? Where have you been?" A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM It seemed in the time she'd been gone, Adam had elevated in his mind the state of his relationship with Maea. Perhaps it was just an effect of the place; with so much hardship in the Hollowed Grounds, friends were things to grab hold of as soon as you found them, relationships formed quickly and strong because they were something precious indeed.
Though clearly she didn't feel entirely the same way. Stepping back and clearing his throat, he lowered his energy somewhat. "It's...been much longer than a week, yeah." Honestly, he struggled to remember when it was she'd gone missing; so many things happened after one another. "I'm fine, I just...where have you been? It's been ages and a bunch of us have missed you." Jigano had mentioned it only during their last drink. "A lot of people haven't made it, through recent shit." Adam sighed, frowning and looking up at the Spire as if it were to blame. "I thought..." He didn't finish his words, but the implication was clear: he had imagined Maea simply deceased somewhere no one could find her, dragged off into the dark by a monster. A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM "It's okay, I just..." Adam trailed off, confused about what was going on. Maea didn't seem to understand how long she'd been gone, or that people actually missed her. "You...got lost? How? Aren't you from around here?" He asked, trying to grasp what it was that was happening here - he knew she'd had problems with her eyesight, but surely with the limited land available to them, she couldn't have gotten so lost for so long...
At least he could answer her question. With a laugh, he held out his hands and they gradually covered with neat black feathers laying themselves over his skin. "Since about a week ago. It's cool, isn't it? Safrin did it for me - I don't really know why, I didn't even ask for it. But I'm not gonna complain. I can be a snake too." A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM He wasn't going to get an answer about Maea's whereabouts for the last year, it seemed; Adam sighed and smiled back at her, not asking any more. Caido was full of mysteries, of things he was either not allowed to know or simply had not discovered yet; it was just another to add onto the pile.
"Yeah, it's cool, right?" He gleefully agreed, unaware of Maea's jealously (he rarely thought of the races, other than the Ascended, who could be marked out visibly by their teeth; he did not recall Maea as an Abandoned nor Accepted, had not considered if she had had a chance to speak to the Gods). At her request he shifted, quickly, going down to a snake at her feet. Long, but slim, with a smart nose, black with a white underbelly. He looked up and flicked his tongue a few times, then reappeared before her as himself. "That one's fun, but it's handier to fly." This could all be said later though, when Maea had been settled. Adam looked back, over his shoulder, in the direction of the fields. "...Do you want me to walk you home?" A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM "Yeah - hey, maybe you could ask for it, if you wanted. It was pretty easy." After all, he hadn't even been looking to be come Attuned when it had happened for him; Safrin had simply asked if he wanted to. As far as he knew, it should have been just as easy for anyone else fancying an animal form.
Frankly, he didn't know why everyone wasn't doing it. Walking with her, he shrugged. "Eh, it's okay. Not like I got anything pressing to be doing; I could do with the walk. I'm not seeing Pet til later this evening." Once he'd sneered at distances unless he had a horse to carry him there, but now he'd grown quite used to going places on foot. At Maeas question he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled loud, a skill held over from his days of riding. With a loud flap of wings Coffee appeared a moment later, flying out of some trees nearby. "Here he is! Sometimes he goes off to play for a bit nearby. We know where each other is, so. Hey look, it's Maea!" Adam pointed to Maea and Coffee obediently stepped forward to sniff at her hair and nuzzle her shoulder, always looking for attention. A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM Coffee, happy for the attention, would stay around Maea as long as she was willing to give it, flying around her head or trotting along by her feet, occasionally dipping closer for pets or to nuzzle her with his snout, happy little clouds of steam rising from his nostrils. When she offered her shoulders he gladly leapt up and curled around her, making soft noises that sounded almost like a purr. "Sop." Adam commented.
Maea's question caught Adam off guard, especially the way she asked it, as if he were a child in need of an education. Unawares of quite why she was asking, he nodded. "Yeah. Amalia told me all about it - I used to be Accepted, but now I'm Attuned, I think. An animal guy." Sticking out his tongue as if to accentuate his speech, he made it split as a snakes, wiggled it before his lips for a moment. "Why d'ask...........oh." It seemed all of a sudden Adam picked up on the obvious and he cringed, glancing over to Maea with apologetic eyes. "Sorry. You're Abandoned, aren't you..?" A wasted youth is better by far

ADAM Maea's reminder was probably one Adam needed, for the way he had been gladly going about in his animal forms in the last few days, telling anyone he met of Safrin's gift. While he had never been one afraid of bragging, this did seem pretty dickish; after all, he had not earned the blessing, had only happened to be the right race and at the shrine at the right time. "Yeah, uh...it's...it's pretty cool. It's unfair though, huh? You aren't any less deserving than me."
He looked over as she drew her cloak around her, wondering how it was the fabric stayed whole; it looked ready to disintegrate any second. Maea's confidence, too, with how she spoke of herself, seemed pretty weak. "Aw, hey. I've heard that Abandoned can get to be Attuned, sometimes. My own boyfriend, actually, did it. Just gotta do a trial thing, I think? Maybe you could ask him about it." Admittedly, Adam didn't know much about how it worked. A wasted youth is better by far
