MAEA
He pulled away, and did indeed object, like she thought he might. Maea gave him a look, gaze trailing up and down his figure in an unusually sober way, like she was stripping away whatever lense of goodwill she had - just this once.
"Well. I did say hero, not saint. You have a good amount of flaws, my friend, I'm not trying to deny that. But," she continued, refusing to let go of her own grip on him, "You are not as hopeless as you try to paint yourself out to be either. You said it yourself; not all that bad.
"I know it's hard to see it... but please try to listen when people say good things about you. If you object too much, sooner or later they will stop. And you might never hear it again."
Her tone was gentle though, for all that the words came out a bit harsh, and there was no end to the kindness as she smiled at him. Once she had said her piece however, Maea turned away a little, and let him think on it. Focused her attention on Astra, so as not to crowd the man.
