MAEA
She rolled her eyes, but beneath the exasperation over all these clever remarks lurked a hidden smile. It was reassuring to know that some things never changed, even if the rest of the world did. Amun was and would always remain a smartass.
Only, when he did answer this time, Maea sort of wished he hadn't. Because ouch, did that load of truth sting. He vanished again, leaving her alone with her outrage. Objections went off within her mind like fireworks, and as if she might find some evidence that indeed did prove him wrong, she began going through every single event that had led her up to this moment. That she could recall.
The conclusion was... not to her liking.
It took some time before she emerged from the building. Maea opted to climb her way out of the rubble instead of teleporting, and had to do some searching before she located Amun again. A wrinkle had lodged itself between her brows, and as she appeared it was with a pebble in hand. She threw it halfheartedly at him, and wished she actually felt mad. Or mischievous. Or anything much at all.
If this had been a setup for a game of tag, it passed way over her head.
"I do enjoy your company," she retorted, like no time had passed at all. "... yeah. That's all I've got. Sorry for being an uptight downer with a need to justify my own existence." Leaning down to pick up another piece of rubble, she bounced it in her palm. The sense of detachment lay like a wet blanket between her mind and the rhythmic thumps against the skin.
