Home sweet home

MaeA Maea thought no less of him for not having grand tales to his name. The fact that he'd been helping others rather than getting into trouble rather worked in his favor this time, earning him a warm smile that suggested a lot of approval on her part. "Helping others is not a small thing. I'm sure you've contributed more than you know." Dragging her fingers through the hair, she hummed acknowledgement to the question; she had indeed been there. For a day. Or... longer? No, she didn't even want to think about it. The whole concept gave her a headache. A glance at Adam told her that he was quickly growing confused about her vague answers, and it made her sigh. Give up. "Alright, I'll tell you. But don't expect it to make sense!" She went on to explain it all; the illness, the forest, the storm, the emergence in Halo, and how she got back. It was quickly done, and she did not sugarcoat it or try to explain anything... Just facts. Cold and hard and confusing. you're so cold, but you feel alive.
