MAEA
There was something in the way he spoke, in the wink, the way he lingered on her name - as if tasting it, running his tongue over sharp teeth like there was a lingering flavor there - that put Maea back on edge. Wary, like that rabbit when the snake shifted too much in the grass and made it rustle. He would not do anything she did not want... and what was it she wanted? His hand on her shoulder made it a little too personal, just on the inner side of too close.
"...yes. It should all be gone now. I feel much better."
Maea was surprised to hear her own voice sound so calm, when her heartbeat had begun to pick up again. There was a tightness building in her stomach, worry mingling with a different something that sent images flashing through her mind, of the last time he had been this close. She tried to shake them away, but... it did not quite work. "I... want to be well? Keep my strength up, so I can work. Train. Live, to the fullest extent." Teeth began to worry at her lip again, and she looked up at him, questions in her eyes.
Maea shifted backwards, ever so slightly. Wanted to see if it would be enough to remind him that he was still holding her. Perhaps he had just forgotten.
"What do you want? You're going so far to help me..." Why? When you don't even know me.
