[SE] summer days drifting away

Maeve

The offer caught her off guard and her smile faltered for the first time since they got here. The events of the last few days ran through her head and the wounds they left behind flared angrily. Maeve winced as they pass back through the veil, the sun glaring into her eyes, "Maybe over lunch." She said softly, blinking a few times as her eyes slowly adjust to the sunlight once more.

Before she really has anytime to sort herself out, Seren is suddenly yelling, darting across the beach towards the Hels that are trying their best to get at their lunch. "Oi! Get the fuck out of here!" Maeve called out, running forward with the other girl and waving her hands, chasing the Hels away with a glare.

They cawed and cried, flapping their wings before finally dispersing away from their bags and taking to the air to retreat. Maeve huffed, flopping down onto the blanket for a moment before sitting up to start pulling out the various treats she packed. A small melon, bread, cheese, some mulled wine, water, and of course sweets (thanks, Locke). What picnic is complete without sweets? "It's all a bit complicated honestly. Are you sure you want to know?"

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
