Broken Antler Fen lovers dance when they're feeling in love

He was sweet, and believed in her way more than she did, of course.  His point about Wraen was a good one, but Maia wasn't entirely convinced.  She said she was tired of leading.  Not recently, but a long time ago.  What if she just doesn't want to, and it doesn't matter if I'm good at it?  She asked, then realized she'd probably said more than she should have and winced.  Ah, shoot.  She didn't worry about Eljay gossiping, but she did tend to sometimes let things slip that were better left between subject a and b.

It's probably dumb to be so nervous about it, she added with a shake of her head and a little laugh.  But I... said yes.  And I've kinda been freaked and excited ever since.  It felt good to talk about it, at least!  Like it was a weight off.  And it also felt really good that he wasn't upset about it, as she'd feared.  And that he didn't laugh at her, another irrational fear.
