Maea
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
It heals them when you die
Content with the silence, Maea ordered a simple meal of soup and bread for herself, and a pint of cider. Waiting patiently for the food to arrive, she watched her guest from the corner of her eye while pretending to people gaze. He looked exhausted in her eyes. Like a wolf caught in a bear trap, deciding whether to gnaw its own leg off or simply wait for the inevitable. A dangerous state of mind to be in. Dangerous for anyone he came in contact with.
Taking a spoonful of soup into her mouth when it was set down before her, the Ancient did not wait for it to cool. Humming thoughtfully in response to the terse question, she licked the spoon to sagor the rich flavors and met the hard stare without flinching.
"Good question," she replied. Metal clicked against sharp fangs, and she shrugged lightly. "Because I can? Because others have done the same for me, and I would repay them poorly by ignoring you? Hmm... I guess that's about it. Self satisfaction, in other words." Tilting the horned head aside, Maea tried to gague his reaction.
"You don't trust that, do you." More a statement than question, it was half a challenge to contradict her.

And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
A whisper within a sigh
