Maeve
Maeve stood quietly as Seren took in the expanse before them. Dust kicking up from the dirt to float through the air before finding a resting place once more. The only life that remained here was that of the Tumbleweeds and Maeve wasn't sure if they even were alive. "Just move quickly. Umbra will cover and you don't need to go far. I'll be right here." The Madame reassured her, giving her a wane but encouraging smile as she headed out only a short distance away. Seren made quick work of her task and was soon coming back to her.
"Some say that's what Ascended feel like. Lifeless, but I don't think it's true. Whatever happened here is a tragedy. Maybe one day we'll learn how to heal it." Maeve wasn't so sure they ever would, but stranger things have happened.
The gentle touch to her cheek drew a shuddering breath from her, eyes closing for a moment as she allowed herself to lean into the palm of her friend's hand, uncaring if she seemed weak in this moment. Red rimmed eyes open to look at her and she steeled her expression, straightening up with a roll of her shoulders, lips pressing into a thin line. "I said I would go with you and I'm not changing my mind now. What do we have to get?" Maeve tried her best to bottle up the ache in her chest, relying on her ability to shut herself down, to make it through this. Seren needed her and she wasn't going to let her down. Not now, not ever.

But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush
