Broken Antler Fen I wrote you a letter

Wraen noticed that not only Maia did not respond to her well-meant joke, her expression changed and shut off completely. She probably did not hear the rest of her speech and she knew that there was no point in saying anything else, just to figure out, what had upset her now. Maybe this had been the least appropriate moment for her to flood her sibling's mind with wisdom, she should have lent an ear, listened carefully and offered supportive "uh"s and "ah"s, and "I am so sorry, sister..." and so on. 

"Maia, what's wrong now?" she asked, deciding it was easier to find out directly than waste time speculating fruitlessly. "Did I offend you?" because that had been the case with Bronco and she had messed up that relationship.
