Redhawk Caldera I spend my days with ghosts who all love you the most

In Maia's eyes, she had done a good thing here. She failed to see anything behind Teya's friendliness, or to see how her words might have been an overstep. She could not relate to Teya's feelings and rather than consider them fully, passed them off as temporary fear. Something that she would get over in time, especially with encouraging words.

I'll tell Eljay to come by with something later, but yeah. I'm here to talk, anytime. Maia smiled and pushed herself, with some effort, to standing. She could already feel the extra weight bearing down. I'll see you later, Teya. She wanted to say something else, something more, but (wisely) kept it simple. She did at least realize she'd already given enough encouragement. With one last look, she turned and departed, heading back towards her own den and the family that waited there.
