MAEA
"Yes," she just said, plain and simple as the answer. It was all anyone could ever do. Put one foot in front of the other... and before you knew it, the scenery would begin to change.
Holding him, Maea tried to instill some small measure of her hope into him. But whether it worked or not, whether any of this meant anything in the end, was impossible to say yet. It was all up to Loren to try, to her to keep supporting him, and then hope that the world did not have any more curve balls to throw at him. Maea sent up a prayer to all the gods she knew the names of, fervently asking for a break for her friend. Lest he shatter even more.
When he freed him from her, Maea let him go, nodding consent to his words. She'd been on the way to leave a while already, but this had been more important. "Indeed. Best to avoid starting any gossip. People might think you're getting soft or happy if they see you around me." She poked her tongue at him. "Would hate to ruin your image for you."
Of course, there were more serious aspects to the risk of being seen together too often. But they were both aware of them, so it didn't have to be said aloud. Better to invoke Zariah's name as little as possible.
