MAEA
"Mh, while that is true, it's still not okay that I didn't remember. I'm sorry, you deserve more than that from me." She nuzzled her cheek into his hand for a moment. It was simply a result of being far too self-centered. Something that would have to change, and quickly.
It was the problem with being late to the party. All her profound insights, and he already knew. It became a simple rehashing of truths he had lived with and fought against before she ever knew to question hers. Maea bowed her head, quieting when her arguments ran dry. A heavy weight of guilt might never lift; how much had her own actions in Torchline swayed opinion against the Ascended? Even if it was just a drop in the sea, it should not have happened.
"Don't say that," she pleaded quietly, as Amun went on. "Don't let them win before it's even begun. I take back what I said, you're right. The best fight is the one we get out of alive. So let's... let's just do that? As long as we still live, they haven't won. Right?" There was still the Relics to find. There was still time to grow stronger. Time to change and improve - and even if she wouldn't be able to match Amun in however long it was left until the war-horn sounded, she could still try to make herself as difficult to kill as possible.
All she had to do was pluck up the courage and fix her biases towards their goddess.
