MAEA
"The same way you refrain from trusting anyone you know to be a consummate liar." Her tone was practical, a little dry. "Would you give a drunkard a bottle, if he swore he wouldn't drink it, just hold it while he slept? Of course not. It's the same. We've all got those voices. I have one that says trusting Sunjata is a foolish idea and it will lead me to nothing but pain." Turning her head to look at Loren, she smirked, teasing. "For some reason, that voice sounds a lot like you.
"Now... I could listen to it. Leave, walk away... and be guaranteed to spare myself pain. And happiness. Or, I could stay. Take the risk, let what happens happens, and focus on being happy while I can instead. And maybe it'll be worth it, even if the day comes when it does break. Maybe it won't be, when it hurts and I look back on everything. But... at least I would have tried."
The wind swept a coil of hair in front of her face, and Maea pulled it back behind an ear. "I could continue on with another hundred years of this life. Or I could die tomorrow. Should I refrain from living today, just because I don't know what will happen when the dawn comes?"
All rhetorical questions. There was no real answer, no true right path to choose. But then, perhaps there wasn't supposed to be one either.
"All I'm saying is, you're not in your homeworld anymore. Those people that hurt you? Most of them are not here. And those who are, well. It's easy enough to stay away from them, as Caido is rather large. I'm not going to hurt you for trying to change. Nor will anyone else who truly care about you. So unless you think we're all standing in line, ready to punish you for being happy..?" There was a bit of a challenge there, a brow raised as if to ask if that was how he saw them. Saw her.
