Broken Antler Fen I know it feels like I have let you down

Ouch. Diantha knew how to hit where it hurt, to her credit. Maia let it roll off but it settled in her along with about everything else lately. She didn't have the luxury to get mad, but that didn't mean she had to be a complete pushover.

Okay. We don't have to be. Maia could tell by now that Diantha wasn't drawn in by fake nice and she wasn't the type to avoid confrontation as much as Eljay did. We can be whatever you want us to be for you, but we are going to be here no matter what. And we are going to love you no matter what. You aren't alone.

Maia glanced at her, but didn't make any moves towards her. Diantha had to decide what her boundaries were. She'd never hope to replace Ibis or Akavir, she just wanted to help patch over some of the holes they had left, best she could.
