Sun Mote Copse The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Maia tried to pick it up after her trip, getting back into the groove of life in the Copse, but she wasn't handling things particularly well.  She could play chipper ok, but spent the rest of the time in a kind of fog, dampened by grief and the unknown status of so much of their family.  

Wraen was a big motivator for working through this, though, and it was good her sister was there.  Without her Maia would have likely isolated, but with her there, she had reason to not want to be such a huge downer.  It hurt, a lot, but eventually maybe it wouldn't so much.

When Wraen suggested a story time, Maia wasn't sure, but she agreed anyway because she knew she needed it.  And she figured Wraen probably needed it too.  She showed up at the right time, and thankfully only her sister was there so far.  Here we go Maia.  You got this.  She smiled and sat down next to her.  Hey!  Got my story juices all loaded up, so I think we've got a good chance of making the best story ever.
