Silvertip Mountain And if love keeps giving me lemons

Wait, was he judging her?  Maia flustered and forgot, for a second, who it was she was talking to.  No.  I explore mountains all the time.  I was just giving you space, that's all.  She answered with a definite defensive bluster to her tone.  Outside of stories Maia was a terrible liar.  Then she seemed to recall and blanched a little.  Were there more of him lurking somewhere, waiting?

Look, I don't want any trouble or anything.  You stay there, I stay here, and we are good!  Yeah?  Her voice had a nervous intensity to it as she tried to keep her speech light and cheerful, the usual 'Maia is uncomfortable' calling card.  If she couldn't even fight on flat ground, fighting on a mountain would definitely kill her.  You can't even stay on your feet when you walk normally half the time.  If he had buddies, maybe she could... like... jump to that ledge over there?  10 foot jump, no problem.

Nah, she was in trouble.  Yipes.
