Copperline [SEASONAL EVENT]

MaeA It was a rather comical sight, truth be told. Watching Isla struggle to adapt to the new reality of her life, Maea's sense of guilt abated somewhat, enough to allow a small smile to touch her eyes as Remi introduced himself. She had been smiling much more lately, even though it still did not come easy. Grief took its toll on her sense of humor as well, but... If she got through it, perhaps she would come out a bit stronger than she had been. At least Maea hoped so. "Maea Valair. We - that is, I..." Oh gods, how it hurt to say it like that, "own this farm." The girl gestured off towards the west, where a plume of smoke rose lazily towards the sky just beyond the crest of a small hill. The house was not visible from here, which was probably the reason why they had missed it. Or perhaps they simply did not care. "Well, not really, to be honest. But I heard what happened... Jigano told me. I suppose you would be the friend he was worried about then." Maea considered him from the shade beneath the bangs, lavender eyes thoughtful as she too wondered what price be har paid to bring Isla back. She couldn't bring herself to ask though, it was much too personal a thing for someone she'd just met. you're so cold, but you feel alive.
