Redhawk Caldera Let's go and see the stars, the Milky Way or even Mars.

Of course, right at that moment, Eljay would come up and ask.  Maia looked back at Towhee, wondering if she'd save her the trouble, but all she got was a stony look.  Gulp.  She couldn't really dodge the question now that Towhee had the full context, so she supposed they were doing this now.  She didn't exactly want to leave, but right this moment she'd have paid good money to be about anywhere else.

I can't stay, she said, looking at him apologetically.  There was more she wanted to say, but with Towhee here, it didn't really feel right.  I can't just leave Wraen like that.  Her sister was a fixture... and just like before, she simply couldn't see herself happy in a place that didn't regularly include her sister.  Maia had been considering, over the past few days, if having one had to mean losing the other... but that was a conversation she needed to have with Wraen, and one that she couldn't have without returning.
