Mae didn't particularly like the bed they shared. It had nothing to do with Elyse or that it was in Nox's creepy house, but more that it was too small. It was a Queen, as were all the beds except Lily's, but it felt too small. Not enough room to romp and play with. Though she made due. Much better than the twin beds that were above Kallisiti anyway -- they'd had their share of romps there over the past few weeks. Nox's old room came in handy.
There was a connection between them and Mae understood that Elyse's feelings were deepening. It made sense and while Mae didn't necessarily return the feelings precisely it was easy enough to mimic them, and she probably was doing that without thinking. Falling too fast was a problem with her ability, they fell and she didn't. It wasn't their fault, but usually when proclamations of love happened they wanted the whole kit and caboodle -- the meeting of her lovers and the potential of joining the group. And... while Mae didn't think this was what Elyse wanted it was a fear. Ahd she declared before the three little words poped out of her mouth that it was alright not to be there too.
Mae didn't really know what to say. Thank you was cliche and rude. She smiled and moved closer to Elyse. "I care deeply for you. Thank you for saying it outloud, and I hope it doesn't change things between us." But it would, it always did.
