MAEA
Startled when he suddenly grasped her shoulders, Maea's hands came up to cup his elbows even as her eyes widened. The despair in him, the utter terror of losing more people gripped her like a choke hold around the throat, and she swallowed. Struggled to find words even as he released her and hugged himself, because... what answers did he think she had? What was he expecting of her, by saying such things?
The girl bit her lip and looked down, staring into the icy roof beneath her feet as if it might hold the secrets she sought. Closing her eyes, breathing in deep, she thought of Ludo, of Delphia, of Vi and Mort, who seemed to wreak such havoc upon Loren's life. Life and death. Souls and guidance, and... and a fragment of a conversation came to her, like a whisper on the wind. Helped her thoughts clear, ever so slightly.
"What do you think death is, Loren?" she asked thoughtfully, with words that seemed entirely unrelated to what he'd just said. "And life... what does it mean, to you?"
