Meadowlark Prairie the birds and the bees

she didn't expect Maegi to have any form of a reply to her. nor even some advice. at this point, Bee was rambling. there was a bit of awkwardness after her words were spoken, and the girl would shoot her head away, worried that she had screwed up a new friendship. instead, the woman would be kind and understanding. she felt emotion well up in her eyes and she feverishly blinked the tears away. a lot of people had been kind so far, but everyone expected her to be something. to do something she didn't know.

she wasn't going to be a healer. she knew that now. but the expectations... it carried weight, and she felt the noose loosening. "I'm sorry" the girl would say at last, voice quivering "I ranted at you. it isn't... it isn't your business. it isn't your concern, but... thanks" she finished awkwardly. it helped to just talk about it. to know someone else felt like she did. "for listening to me." so maybe she wasn't cut out to be a healer but at least she could focus on something else.
