Sun Mote Copse let the river run

crashing this bc I've been shamelessly curious of how Eljay and Maia would jive for a while.  Lmk if this isn't ok!

While Maia knew there were hardships that Wraen was reluctant to talk about, and tried not to let that bother her, she still felt oddly outside of the somber mood that sometimes still pervaded the copse.  So when she stumbled across Finley and Eljay, she didn't bother to read the room.

Hey!  She burst out in a cheerful greeting.  She hadn't spent much time with Eljay or Finley prior during her stay, and she wasn't even positive now that she was here if they knew she was back (or knew she was here before?).  It took a moment, but as she paused to look at them, it occurred to her they weren't really smiling.  Oh, uh, sorry.  If you were talking I can go... she added, a little abashed.
