Sun Mote Copse Just like dust we settle in this town

Long time it may have been, since Maia had asked Wraen last about her love life, but nothing much had changed in that area. The only difference from then and now was that she no longer hoped and had settled smoothly in the life of merry spinsterhood ever since. From what she had learned, mates either broke your heart or died (and broke your heart anyway), while good friendships lasted a lot longer, did not require you to invest too much and in general caused less damage. 

"Well, if you have had a good look around here, then you will probably see that the men here are either too young or too old, already taken and still in love," Wraen summarized the uneven distribution of sexes among Firebirds. "And I have not wandered outside too much to meet the fateful tall dark stranger of prince Charming elsewhere," she smiled. "What about you - have you met the Illidan boy?" Maia's love life was way more interesting than hers.
