MAEA
No one had told her that Ancients were capable of doing magic. The effect of the revelation was raw and visceral in the young woman; hope and desperate longing wrote its way across her face, like meat dangled before a starving dog.
"Truly?" Maea hugged herself to keep her hands from shaking; it was all she could do not to grab Harper and shake him, just to make sure it was real. This, the room, him – the glimmer of a chance. It seemed... too good to be true. "If that's really so..." she would have nothing more to ask for.
The ringing in her ears took some time to subside. When she caught on to what Harper was talking about, he had already moved on to guilds and the lack of trust in good times that permeated Caido. Not without cause, but Maea thought it was a shame.
"Would you perform for me?" she tried, and scooted in close to Harper. Giddy and light headed from the shock he had given her - or maybe the alcohol - Maea's smile glittered with the idea of fun. Entertainment had been scarce growing up, music beyond simple folk tunes a rarity; she was not going to let him weasel out of this so easily. "Please? I'll pay attention, I promise!"
