As Teya spoke, Maia began to pull away. You don't know, she thought, and surprisingly, she felt a little angry. It sounded like a lecture. Teya didn't have the right to say that like she knew anything about Maia and Wraen and how things had been.

She loved Eljay, but her sister had been her soul mate. For four years they'd been inseparable, and now she was just supposed to be able to move on?

No. Don't worry about it. Ibis either. Sarah, Terance, Ibis, Wraen. Teya was a part of the family of Brecheliant but there was so much history she didn't know. Maia's anger surprised even herself and, while she didn't like it, she couldn't stop it either. She just tried not to let it show when she spoke.

I need to go. Her mood had done such a wild 360 at two extremely simple statements. Without another word, or really a proper goodbye, she stood. Unless Teya prevented her, she'd go back to the den she and Eljay shared. She didn't want to talk about this any more.
