Sun Mote Copse Just like dust we settle in this town

Maia was fully spacing off when Wraen came up, lost composing a story around the snowflakes drifting.  Her head shot up though, and she felt a flash of guilt.  Yeah, actually, she was.

Uhh, heh, a little yeah.  She pushed herself up to sitting and gave a small, apologetic smile.  Sorry.

Ever since she came back, things had felt a bit different between them.  Maia had been super excited to support her sister in leading before she left, but now that it had happened, it felt like Wraen was locked in a serious world that Maia wasn't sure she belonged in or even liked much.  Was it fair of her to try and take up a bunch of her attention when she had super important 'responsibilities' now?

D'you need help with anything? Maia asked, though she secretly hoped not, because she was really enjoying her break time.

referencing things in the thread where she returns that I have drafted but haven't been able to reply yet XD
