Redhawk Caldera Restlessness, above all

Oh, boy, did she.  She was happy to hear that Wraen was feeling at least better, and maybe well enough to have a chat about where they might go next.  Because wow did she really want to be able to give that answer sooner than later, and she knew she wasn't the only one tied up about it.

Yeah, I did.  She sat down as well, thinking for a second on where she even wanted to start.  Big news first?  So, I don't remember a whole lot from, like, the first night I got here.  But that next morning, Eljay and I had a really long talk, and he told me he liked me.  So I told him back, and now we are kinda sorta maybe a thing?  Oh wow it sounded weird labeling it.  Not because she didn't want it to be true, but because her brain had the automatic 'what if you made a mistake?' response that was really hard to ignore.  Would Eljay consider them to be a thing?

That wasn't important right now, so she shoved past it.  But you know Eljay.  He didn't like leaving before, and he's honestly really happy here.  So I figured, maybe, we could stay close?  Not here here, but somewhere nearby, so we could see how things go.  Maia watched Wraen for a reaction.  It felt stupid selfish to ask for this, honestly, and she was struggling with the guilt around making both Wraen and Eljay accomadate her.  If they said no, she'd get it, but for the moment she held her breath and waited.
