The fae only stepped back enough for a small distance to be created between the two of them. When he asked about the changes even more, she thought back to the weeks before when she had been at Crith's borders and meeting the unranked lass who she would find out that was no longer here in time. Mai looked at him "It has a river running through it and it looks a lot more broken than what Nike had explained it was before, from the looks, it's a bunch of cracks and caverns..." she trailed off, now moving to lower her rump to the ground slowly as her muscles ached from the long trek there and back. Sighing as her rump hit the ground softly and felt relief in her muscles. The lass looked down for a second as he continued to speak, when he mentioned not wanting her to leave she couldn't help but smile. As the dragga continued to speak, talking about the thought of vampires being able to get her and her being safe here. She felt safe, to say the least. But how does she tell him that over the course of the past few weeks, she found herself trying to seek him out since their first meeting at Culter Unleaddod and trying to get more of an understanding of how he functioned, trying to understand him better and know him better. Except she could tell he'd shut down, whether from past loves or from his own past that she knew little about. But wanted to know more than just his past, she wanted to know about his favorite activities among other things. However, she knew that would take time.

He went on to talk about her staying only if he pushed his unimaginable rage down, that it wasn't normal. That it would never turn on her and that she was safe from him. She felt herself shaking her cranium, remembering the rage in her fathers eyes as she did something wrong, only for them to turn and pint it against her twin brother. Focusing on trying not to think of those times, but it was hard as that's what she knew from others in rage. That was in fact her entire life, all she'd known. And it had made her cautious of others, made her want to be alone, left her over thinking others actions and words. It had indeed fucked her up morally, making her not want to relinquish in it ever again, experience even the slightest of rage from anyone. But even though he was filled with rage, she stayed put. Her feelings mixed on it and wanting to help with whatever it was that this brute needed. Mai turned her stormy optics back up to Aindreas, looking over his white form as she shook her cranium. The fae would stay regardless of what he said, whether he'd wanted her to leave or not. Glad he had chosen to want her to stay though.

"I will stay regardless of what you feel, whether you are so enraged you cannot control it or whether you don't have that indignation. I will stand by your side in a fight I probably couldn't win or I will stay here and help with pups and mothers. Protect them with my life..." she spoke softly and stopped for a moment to look back towards the ground as her next lyrics flowed from her kissers "I don't think you would turn that fury against me, it's not about that. It's me wanting to help you... to help this pack in any way that I can, even though that isn't much at all and more than likely won't be very much. I don't know how to be a warrior, I know how to be gentle despite my past of complete rage from my birth parents and I know how to overthink situations that don't need to be overthought but I can try and help in any way that I can. Just say what I can do for you, for everyone else." at this point, her lyrics had dropped to a near whisper, trying her best to hide that she was terrified of what was to come. That the war to come could literally kill Aindreas and many others.
