I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Listening to the end, the young woman lay silent for a while, processing the story. There were details left out that made it difficult to follow in places, but Seren suspected that the exact words and who said what first didn't really matter. The real issue was that Maeve was hurting, and that there was no easy solution to solve this problem.
Brushing crumbs off her hands, Seren eased up on her knees and shuffled over to Maeve where the woman sat, bundled up into herself. Settling down right next to her, the star-child reached out and pulled all of her friend into a hug; this time she was the one to rest a cheek against dark hair, while gentle fingers brushed lightly against a pale cheek. The grip was light, in case the close proximity was not wanted, but caring all the same.
"I am sorry that it became like this," she murmured quietly. "You were right, it does sound complicated. Is that what hurts the most? That it feels like you are not friends anymore?" They had spoken once of fun that turned to love and hurt, and Seren realized now that Maeve knew all about that. Yet she seemed to be aware of where it went wrong too... which probably did not help.
