MAEA
Turning her head, Maea looked him over. Thought of everything he had done for her, his account of reaching out to help friends who needed it. How he'd insisted on helping Sunjata when their mutual friend had been stubbornly trying to destroy himself, and how he even now, in the midst of his own despair, had the strength to squeeze her shoulders and offer sympathy.
"I don't think you're a bad person," Maea told him. "You've just been through a lot recently. Lost too much. It's hard to stay kind when everything hurts." Spoken like someone who knew, from experience. Given her medical history... she really did. "I... don't consider myself as that greedy for power either. At the very least, I just want to use it to protect my friends. To help.
"Though... possibly I am a bit reckless, in how I go about it sometimes." It was a reluctant concession, and the girl smiled ruefully. Her argument with her partner about coming home covered in bruises in fresh memory.
