Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
Shii pulsed even brighter at that, and actually braved the sunlight to swoop out and loop once around the youths head. But then it returned to Maea and nestled back into the folds of Ludo's Rags, content to remain close to its bonded. Maea didn't insist on making it be more polite, rather appreciating the rare chance to have the wisp close for once.
Her attention returned to Quanil when they started speaking again. Blinking slowly, she tried to understand where the youth was going with this.
"Are you trying to console me? Or tell me I'm fortunate? That I should be grateful?" She looked amused, but in a guarded way. It was a sensitive topic, which Quanil should be well aware of. How often did Abandoned ever get to interact with the gods? If it was gratitude, then Maea already felt it. If she was fortunate, then she knew that as well. Intimately.
But if it was some attempt to console her for not having the favor an Attuned, or an Accepted might have...? Then it rankled more than a little, and she was not so overseeing as to be ready to accept that from someone she didn't even know.

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
You choose to stay
