Broken Antler Fen She always has trouble falling asleep

Oh wow. Maia couldn't imagine going to Ibis and asking about that, no matter how many kids she had. It didn't mean much how much older she felt either... Maia was still her aunt and that was weird, right? Talking to your aunt about all that?

And Eljay, oh boy. Yeah, I guess that's kind of why.... it's dumb. She felt her face heating up. It's just, what if I don't do it right? Like, wow. This really is stupid to worry about, but he knows and I don't and... augh. Nevermind. She shook her head, laughing. Even saying it out loud sounded dumb. There was no way in a million years he'd ever hold that over her, and that wasn't even what really made her nervous, right?
