Redhawk Caldera Out where the water is wide

Nice job, Maia. You worried her now too.. She shouldn't have said anything. Explaining it was going to sound so dumb, and so paranoid, and what if Teya told Eljay?!

Maia nearly let that worry shut her down completely. The part of her that couldn't bear anyone knowing warred with the part that needed to talk to someone. Times like these, she'd always gone to her sister. Now there were never times she missed her more.

It's stupid. It's just... when Wraen stepped down, that's when it started. She couldn't look at Teya. It felt like, after that, we never had enough time. So many others had been gone so suddenly too. It was hard to think about. She didn't know what she would do without Eljay. That familiar panic began to build in her chest and she fought to keep it down, swallowing thickly.
