You're so cold
but you feel alive
If she pretended not to care, Maea could almost make her believe it was true. Like she had pretended that losing her family didn't hurt, like being rejected by her friends as she tried to change a town towards something new didn't matter. It was a game she was very good at. She'd had much practice throughout her life.
Her expression remained cool as she followed his instructions. Holding out her arms, Maea kept her gaze at the far wall while he measured and calculated, and did not so much as stiffen or flinch when he invaded her space to do the same for her hand. He loomed over her, too tall to be allowed, but the shadow he cast over her was neither soothing or comforting. Only cold, like the icy waters that flowed through her veins.
The curious, intelligent part of her wanted to know what system he used to decide the best size for her, how he had calculated it, what to look for. The doppleganger inside her made of frost and pain only shrugged, unable to give a flying fuck; it won, and she remained quiet as she waited for the next set of instructions.
Quiet was a very fun game too. Also one she knew well. Weapons aside, Maea had quite the set of skills to her name.
