Broken Antler Fen From high hopes to the ground

They seemed to like her suggestion, despite making amendments, and Maia relaxed some.  She still felt a little guilty, but she felt something else to.  And it kept her quiet, because she didn't trust herself to put it to words.  Even as Wraen was thinking the unspoken words, a different set were lurking on her tongue.  Wouldn't it... be kinda neat?  To try it?

She had no real visions that anyone would take her seriously, and that was problem number one.  Her travel would suffer, problem two, but a small voice whispered that she hadn't traveled much of late anyway.  Eljay didn't travel... and as much as she enjoyed exploration, she didn't enjoy it near as much alone.  And now her list of those to visit was so small.  Terance was gone, Moonspear gone... and Illidan set in a pack over the mountains.  He was perhaps her only reason to venture out now.

But no.  She couldn't.  And they weren't about to pick her anyway, because both Arcturus and Wraen would make far better choices than she would.  They'd both been leaders before, and Wraen might not be so opposed if she didn't have to lead alone.

Yeah,  Maia answered Lilitu with a smile.  We are just talking about leadership, and how decisions should be made.  She kept her voice in an undertone for that, then nodded.  I like that.  The rotating leader.  She said aloud, then realized she was speaking out again and got a tidge quieter.  Because... y'know... they might get tired of it too.

She didn't think that it sounded necessary to set out what decisions could be made by who when the leaders would all be able to discuss things as they came, but she did keep quiet on that.  There might have been something specific they were thinking of, something she wasn't thinking of.  And she definitely didn't want to open her mouth too much and end up looking like an idiot in front of everyone first meeting in.
