over and over again

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." It was weird, being regarded so closely. The way he smirked as he turned his eyes away made her wonder what he had made of what he saw... but Maea didn't ask. Probably better not to know. She might not like the answer. "Perhaps. Or maybe you're the one being modest and selling yourself short, this time? Though I suppose you won't gain any favors from being seen around me either, so... your loss?" Maea shrugged as she smiled back. Though she was lost and tired, and further away from home than she had ever been, she found herself not at all sorry to be there in Amun's company. He was pleasant to be around, cheerful in a heartening way that made her troubles seem smaller, the kind she could shrug off and deal with some other time. Going home was still important, but until then... at least she would be in good hands.
