Bramblepoint Keep a bluebird in my heart

As seemed to be wont to happen whenever Maia thought about Eljay nowadays, she was lost in a daydream when Toad approached and asked her a question.  The words startled her out of it, though at least she didn't jump.  Instead she blinked and looked at her for a second.

Oh!  This?  She gestured the garden.  Duh Maia, what else would she be referring to?  Someone's garden, I guess!  I don't know much about them honestly, just... a friend of mine has one.  A friend, right.  Why was it so weird to put a label on it?  Probably because they hadn't actually really talked labels.  Kind of awkward.

It doesn't really look done, though.  At least, his has a lot more in it.  It was at that moment that Maia remembered she was supposed to be more wary of strangers, and she took a rapid step back before smiling apologetically.  Um, I'm Maia.  Who are you?  She seemed nice, but so had that other guy.... minus the creep vibes.  This girl didn't have any of those but no way was Maia taking any chances right now.  Not so close to Moonspear and all that.
