To Fly You Must Fall

Maea Big dreamers shoot for open skies Maea pondered the question for a moment, sipping on her cider to buy time. Pale eyes were watching Hotary thoughtfully over the rim as the woman went on to explain her circumstances... and softened at the tale of loss and lonely wanderings. Warmed, because those were things she could relate to. Felt keenly, even now. "I've joined the Loreseeker's guild" she said, choosing to answer the question before it would get lost, buried in words. An intentional tardiness, in this case. "Was invited over a year ago, and I suppose I did pose as a member, but I was so preoccupied with my farm, trying to salvage things... This time I'm letting it go, to focus on studying, training... traveling." It was rather the opposite of Hotaru's tale. Adventure had been thrust upon her, while Maea was actively leaping into it, headfirst and leaving no options of return. "I have yet to sort out my living situation, don't know where I'll end up yet... but I'm open to options. So, well. If you ever want company, I'd be happy to come along." It would certainly be educational to have someone around who did not flinch from things. Hotaru seemed like just such a person.
