Sun Mote Copse And the sky is clear and bright

Wraen was totally right.  He did have a mate, and kids, and honestly Maia looked up to him as a friend and a mentor.  But she knew the difference. She didn't feel the butterflies around him like she did with Epic or Illidan, or even Artaax before he turned out to be a little wacko.  It had just felt so good to be wanted and complimented.  She didn't want to give that up now that she was worried she'd never feel that way again.

What if he's the only one who ever feels like that though? And this is my one shot? Maia asked, a little plaintively.  Even if what's her face isn't Illidan's girlfriend, there's no way he's gonna want to see me again, even as a friend.  I just left without even really saying goodbye.  She let out a little groan, flattening on the ground.  What is wrong with me?  They both probably think I'm crazy now.  Maybe she was?
