The Sentinels But you know I'm gonna play 'em for keeps

Maia could hope she kept things hidden well enough, but that likely would never be the case.  She was the type to put on a brave face in order to assure others she was fine, but she was also the type to crave attention.  So maybe, just maybe, part of her disappearing was a hope they would notice.  She didn't really want to talk about it (or really comprehend what "it" even was, since she hadn't gotten that far).  She just knew that she was moody as heck.

She flinched when she heard Wraen call out, since she hadn't been expecting it.  But she did smile, and heave a semi theatrical sigh at having to 'wait' for her sister.  Well, c'mon then, grandmother Wraen.  Maia answered playfully, though she did stop walking as she said it to let her catch up.  What'd you want to talk about?
