Sun Mote Copse And the sky is clear and bright

Oh, mom, where are you, when we need you... Wraen thought to herself as she listened compassionatly to Maia's troubles in romance, thinking that her sister might have jumped to conclusions too quickly. Then again she had no experience of her own to compare to and therefore she decided against remarking that either the guy was not worth Maia's time or that she had acted downright foolish. She loved her sister too much to shove cold hard truths in her face. 

"This is a tough cookie," Wraen said, after she had contemplated Maia's words for a while. "Let's start off that I have not seen that red and people pretty are any luckier in love life than others. To be honest - if there is any connection, then gray pelts like us have better chances," she explained with an amused smile. "Second - partner can mean many things for different people. If having a girlfriend was not the first thing Illidan told you, when you saw him last... I think that there might simply be a misunderstanding."

"Even if it is as you said - I do not see, why you should not continue being friends with him. If he is such a nice fellow, then do not let him go that easily," Wraen said, remembering now, what Wildfire had told her about her previous relationships and, how all three mateships had begun with being good friends first. "Nourish that friendship, take one step at a time and see, where it leads you. Making friends is easy - in my experience - keeping them is the most difficult part."
