You Can't Run Away From Your Problems

OOC:Please excuse the unedited-ness of this log ;)

Maeve is slowly making her way back towards the barracks, jaw set, although it's obvious that she's trying to choke back tears.

Mahlia comes running down the trail, the clunking of boots approaching Maeve quickly "Maeve.. Maeve wait.. I want to talk to you… please. We can't just run away from each other" she reaches the Candidate and walks up beside her.

Maeve looks down. "Maybe I should run away," she says, voice little more than a whisper." She takes a breath, but doesn't speed up to escape…yet

Mahlia reaches for the Candidates hand and gives it a squeeze, looking deep in to blue eyes "Dont' say that.. you shouldn't run away, it won't fix any of our problems.." she frowns "Plus.. I don't know what I'd do without you.. even if I can't hug and kiss and cuddle you.. and even if that naughty naughty Calla enticed you so.. you know I love you like none other..

Maeve swallows, but doesn't say anything, although she can't help leaning into the hug. "I… I don't know… Maybe I shouldn't have accepted in the first place."

Mahlia wraps her arms around the Candidate, nothing wrong with a little friendly support "It's ok love.. this is a tough situation.. I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't have done but you did the best you could in the moment ya know? Almost anyone would accept really…

Maeve nods. "But, Lia-love. This is going to go on for at least another month. You know how I am, how much I need that physical side of things. And if I impress…." She trails off, knowing it could be another two to three years!

Mahlia gulps and nods, brushing a few of the blonde's locks back, still holding her close "I know honey.. I know.. these are trying times and I most definitely feel your pain.. it really sucks not being able to smother you with lovings.."

Maeve nods, swallowing. "Maybe… maybe I should just withdraw…

Mahlia gulps again, staring at you, not sure what to say "I don't know what t tell you my love.. only you know what is right for you.. do you still want to be together after all of this is over?"

Maeve looks down, and starts to weep again. "I… I do. But what if it isn't over? I… I don't know if I could wait three years to be with you again.

Mahlia wipes tears that stream down her soft cheeks, misty dew drops welling in her own eyes as she starts to speak "I dunno love.. I mean Cenath saw it in you which means that there's a dragon out there somewhere just waiting for the amazing you.. and it's more than just being with me.. it's with anyone, and I know I'd wait for you forever.”

Maeve buries her face into your shoulder. "I love you, Mahlia. But shards, I don't know if I could last for another three turns like this…"

Mahlia holds you tightly loving this moment, a closeness that they haven't felt in way too long. So she hugs her love, unable to do anything else, head shaking lightly "I don't know what to tell you honey.. you have to make your choices for you honey."
Maeve nods, as she holds the greenrider close, weeping softly. "I know… And I know you're just doing your job as a Weyrlingmaster. I broke the rules, you have to punish me…" Still, she sounds like she might be trying to convince herself

Mahlia does have to shrug her shoulders slightly at this "It is true.. I am also kind of hurt too. I know that our former relationship was perfect when we had our freedoms, but now there are guidelines to live by should you want to Impress someone as amazing as Cenath.. unfortunately the outcome is uncertain and the path is a trying one.. I have to treat you the same as every Candidate.. you all should've known better, but it's really not a huge deal… minus all your poopy duties. It was just a warning.."

Maeve nods, sighing as she does. "Well, I'm old enough, I have to take responsibility for my actions…" She shakes her head. "You could have kicked me out of candidacy outright, couldn't you?

Mahlia releases the hold reluctantly, taking a deep breath, putting both hands on your shoulders as if holding you there in front of her, it is obvious she wishes lips could meet, but rules are rules. "Honestly, it depends on who you ask. Sexual misconduct is a very broad term, and since it was everyone's 1st offense and relatively minor, my discerning judgement thinks a firm warning and the ridiculous amount of duties I've assigned to you all.. you've paid your dues.. not to mention the embarrassment of the whole Weyr knowing what happened.. I honestly feel kinda bad for you guys.. but I can't go back on it now..

Maeve nods, sighing again. "I… I guess I'd better go, love. I'm going to have a long sevenday. I'll need my rest…

Mahlia nods and sighs as well, lip curling to one side as her pert nose crinkles slightly "I know.. don't worry Maeve. It will all work out how it is supposed to, get some rest, I love you and I'll see you for daily assignments in the morning." She pulls the blonde in for one more hug, not lingering too long, but giving her a good enough squeeze to get her back to the barracks. The greenrider bows slightly, turns on heel and is headed home to sob over a glass a of wine, her fur rug and toasty fireplace. *lesigh
