MAEA
His best friend. She hadn't know that. Knew so very little of him. Of Peter, and Adam. Only brief interactions, moments that meant something but were so short, so brief, so fleeting. "I was the first person they met, when they came here," she told him, still weeping hot tears onto his back. Barely able to speak, so helpless to do anything but hold him, hold on tight and keep them warm. Her dress was soaked, the shawl had slipped from her shoulders and lay on the floor beside the tub, but she didn't care, didn't care, didn't care about those trivial things. "Both of them. Adam.. fell onto my table. Spilled soup all over me, and himself, and laughed at me when I explained everything. Thought it was a s-stupid jo-joke.
"An-and Peter... he was m-y friend too. H-he lived on the f-farm with me, and...H-he.."
She couldn't go on. Biting her jaws together so tightly the teeth creaked, Maea's chest heaved in a shuddering breath, losing the battle to keep the sobs at bay. But though she couldn't stop them, she did not give in to the grief either. Couldn't, when Sunjata was so numb, so gone, barely able to communicate.
The girl tried to slip around to his side, take his head and pull him into her chest. Coax him to lean on her, not close himself off like this.
"Please. Talk to me." Anything. He could say anything, and it would be better than silence.
