Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
She didn't know what to expect anymore. Had chased herself into a mental corner where she was trapped and out of options, lost and alone. So when Sunjata spoke, not to return her goodnight but to ask for a game... she couldn't bring herself to feel surprised. Or much of anything. Seems you could feel to the point of numbness.
"... alright," Maea replied. She feel him shift behind her, and his presence was the burn of flinthopper sparks on the skin, of peppermint bark on the tongue, the prickling numbness of going too close to a barrier that was no longer there, of clinging to the bars of a cage while proffessing a desire to be utterly free from everything and everyone.
All contradictions.
She didn't offer anything up. Waited for him to start.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
A whisper within a sigh
