As they traveled, Maia would catch Meerkat up on some of the better stories about their travel so far.  She might embellish a bit (certainly she and Wraen had not saved Arcturus from a crazy badger) but it passed the time and gave some laughs.  She would lead her straight to where Wraen was bound to be, and Arcturus probably too, and together they could enjoy a fun afternoon reunion catching up.
