28.X Interlude: Maira III

"What the hell were you thinking?!"

Maira didn't know whether to laugh or cry as Aria appeared in front of her all of a sudden that day. She had been hard at work trying to follow the path her son had carved in his supposed rebellion, and she was just about to set off toward yet another lead to where her son was being kept when her reluctant companion told her the most ridiculous story she had heard from the insane woman.

"I saved them though~" Aria cooed, her cutesy pout doing little to diffuse the rage Maira was feeling for the woman. "That's more than enough reason to show myself, right?~"

The responsible adult between the two pinched the bridge of her nose as she clicked her tongue in exasperation. And here she thought they'd have enough time to move in the shadows as she would've hoped.
