[ she's still a bit hesitant even if maya won't tell phoenix, but maybe telling someone might actually help. ]

Do you believe in destiny?

[feytality]

[That's an interesting question. Maya has to mull on it for a second, tapping her finger against her cheek.]

[Destiny, huh....]

Yeah, I think I do. [But it's not so simple as that. For Maya, she thinks her destiny is set in stone. Not really in a good way. But others--- maybe not. Not everyone has her kind of luck.]

I'm guessing you do, too.

[psycholawgy]

[ she gives a small nod at that, confirming that she does. peoples lives are linked to one another, and things they achieve were definitely meant for them. working hard for your destiny is only natural. ]

I don't think my destiny is to be in Los Angeles.

[ she doesn't say any more than that. there's a reason why she told maya to promise not to tell phoenix. this is why. ]

[feytality]

[Maya can sympathize with that. Being where she has been, she never thought she'd ever be able to go home again. But.]

So where do you think it is?

[There's no judgment, just curiosity] Like... here? Or somewhere else?

[psycholawgy]

[ the question only makes her embarrassed, though. she sinks lower into her sheets, to look as small as possible. ]

Probably here, or probably somewhere else. Just— [ ah, well, maya already knows about her relationship, but it's still... embarrassing. exposing herself like this is awkward. ] Just. . . wherever Merlin is.

[feytality]

Wherever Merlin is, huh? You wanna go home with him?

[She puts her hands under her chin and props it up] Or take him home with you?

[psycholawgy]

I— He—

[ she falls silent for a few good moments, her nails digging into her blanket. ]

He has so many things to do, and— [ then her voice softens. as if whispering, she says: ] I've saved Simon. . . I've done what I had to do...

[ so... ]
