Broken Antler Fen I know it feels like I have let you down

Well, at least that wasn't angry. Maia was out of her depths here. She didn't know enough about grief, or how children worked, to sort out what she was supposed to do to make Diantha feel better or to show her that Maia could be trusted. It just seems like, with or without us, you aren't happy. That's all I want.

That was all that mattered, truly. Maia wasn't tied much at all to the idea of trying to be a stand-in mom if that wasn't what Diantha wanted. But hopefully, if she could sort out what she actually did want, she'd let them know.
