And wasn't that the truth of the day. "At this rate, I might be tempted to start trouble just to get something else to think about," she agreed, with an ironic roll of the eyes. But at least the worst of the gloom had lifted for now. It really did help to talk about it, and it felt good to know she had people to confide in when she needed it.
Maea nodded agreement to his musings of keeping guard and blocking the portals during LongNight. It was a sensible plan, one she could fully get behind, and would aid in however she could. "I hope it won't be needed," she said, "but I'd rather overprepare than risk lives needlessly."
She realized that Jigano was on his way to leave, and quickly got to her feet. His reply on wisps wasn't very helpful, but Maea didn't mind; she was just sad to see him go already. "I'll give it a try," she promised, "it's good advice. As always. Are you... going back already?" The girl sounded a little lonely, though she tried to keep her expression from showing it.
She was the one who had distanced herself from him, in the end. Didn't really have a right to complain.

this too shall pass
