Redhawk Caldera Restlessness, above all

Maia didn't quite know how to take the comment on moving quickly, though it echoed her own thoughts on 'were they really a thing' extremely well.  She deflated just a tad.  Maybe it was too soon to tell?  She'd liked him for ages, but she wasn't sure how long he'd felt the same.  She couldn't see a relationship across such a long distance working, not with how infrequently she'd see him.  There'd be no way to keep whatever this was going, and without that, she imagined it would flicker and die.  She knew herself too well, and she imagined Eljay had a chance of being similar.

That was pretty quickly sidelined though, and Maia bristled a bit as Wraen described her run in.  Immediately she wanted to respond with a 'she can try', but instead she shut her mouth and clenched her teeth.  She already knew what would happen if Wraen got attacked by some Moonspear wolf out there and she was around; she wouldn't be able to do a thing.  Just like when she got attacked, only worse, because this time it'd be Wraen and not just her own dumb self.

You're probably right.  We shouldn't risk that, even if she didn't mean it.  Are you kidding me, though?!  She really said that!?  The first part was subdued, but Maia couldn't resist a little fire for her sister's behalf.  What a hag!  And not in the cool sense of the word, the way Wraen referred to herself.  This was the nasty, awful version, snaggle tooth and eating pups and all.
