Maia's not one of the English breed of travellers. She would not ever wear socks with sandals, for example, nor wander into a warzone and ask the leader of the guerilla soldiers where the nearest cafe was. She's more low-key than that. Her travelling outfit is the same as her normal--black on black, red lips and a smirk--and her bag for the journey is only a deep black leather school bag rather than the suitcase monstrosities you see on the carousel. It whiffs a bit of sulphur.
She's in the Great Hall, examining the
list of places to go, attractions to see...Skye's first up. It's not mainland Scotland, not really, and Maia stands a much lower chance of running into anybody she might know there.
He's not late. She's just early.
