Where do I go from here?

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." Humming in consideration, Maea returned the water to the glass where it belonged, and set the little sun trinket back down onto the table. To ignore the gods... It was a notion unheard of to her. Perhaps because of who she was, because of the inherent stigma, it was a way of dealing with it that she had never even considered. Not for herself. The deities - or rather, the absence of them - had always been such an integral part of her life and a foundation stone for everything that went on in the Hollowed Grounds. To just... go about her own business and care nothing for what they thought felt... empowering. Yet lonely, and very dangerous indeed. No doubt she could do it. But... Maea knew that's not what she wanted. "Well, I'm glad to be back, too. At least, I probably will be once I get the messy parts sorted out." Emptying the glass, Maea set it aside. She was no less tired, but with the headache gone and some of the weight lifted off her, she felt about ready to continue with the chores she'd set for herself that day. "I'll be staying at the inn or the Loreseeker's Guild for now," she told Rexanna, sounding more business-like and less exhausted with each word. "If you need anything at all, as Queen or merely as Rex, I'd be happy to lend a hand however I can." Pushing her chair back, she was readying herself to leave. It had been a strange conversation, but pleasant indeed. Perhaps they'd get a chance to speak again at a later time - about less dire topics.
