Sun Mote Copse Like the records I'm playing, they might keep you waiting

pre-dated, so they can have one more, because she'd def want to say goodbye! no rush on this

By the time Maia got around to saying her goodbyes, she had fairly well convinced herself that it was fine because no one would mind when she left.  It made it a lot easier to go track down @Eljay when she put things in that perspective because the optimism hid the hurt.  This wasn't the same as when they left Terance, but it was similar... that feeling of leaving something to keep something, and it never felt fair.

If she caught them together, she could say goodbye to @Weejay too... but if not, she'd track the girl down after, maybe share a story or two so that she could share them with the other kids.  Maia hadn't really stuck around long enough to share her love of stories so far, and aside from she and her sister, none of the other adults seemed interested.  It was a shame to leave them without anything.

Maia sighed, then tried to gather up her resolve.  Eljay?  You around?
