Frogspawn Swamp Like thunder in summer

going to wrap this for us!

Her flummoxed response and the reaction it earned didn't land on Maia.  Her mind was already drifting to how great it would be to be home, how excited she was to see Wraen, how much she missed her...

And she almost missed Preeti's question.  Hm? Oh, yeah!  It registered a second later, like most of their conversation honestly.  Maia had been running on empty for days and at this point was a step beyond slap happy.

They'll love it!  Definitely you should, c'mon!  She hefted herself up from sitting and started off at a determined walk, glancing back to see if her newfound friend was following once or twice just to ensure.  Likely they'd continue the conversation informally as they traveled; on the plus side, it wasn't far now!  They'd be there in no time.
