MAEA
Not a conspiracy then. Always something to be grateful for, Maea supposed. "I don't know," she hesitated. "On the one hand, I don't want to shun help when it's so freely offered. But... I follow the Old Gods. To ask her for help feels... as though I'm betraying them, somehow." It was a conflict of gods, and should really not affect someone like her, who was shunned by all of them anyway for the magic in her bones. And yet... Maea had picked a side. Was toeing the line already, by standing here. Making friends with the ascended, accepting their help... being bitten by one. It all went against everything she had been taught.
Yet still she was not running. Felt like the rabbit caught by the eyes of a snake, realizing it was creeping closer but unable to decide on running or remaining. It seemed harmless, after all. Gleaming scales glistening in warm sunlight. Beautiful. Tempting. So very dangerous.
His fingers were tapping on her shoulder, a distracted kind of gesture. Why wasn't he pulling his hand back? "I was healed recently," she offered, trying to find some escape from the need to accept or decline his offer. "So I should be fine for a while. Loren said he'd do it as many times as necessary... maybe if you worked together, you could figure something out?"
