Cassian entered to see Maya after the fairy queen had left. When she saw him, she tried to sit up, but Cassian stopped her. "Don't get up, you need to rest."
Maya let out a long sigh. "I'm tired of lying down, and the smell of flowers is making me dizzy."
"I still don't understand why the bed is filled with flowers; it doesn't seem comfortable."
Maya stroked the petals. "They're silk flowers, very soft and comfortable, and they don't spoil easily. Fairies often use them for their beds because it makes them feel more connected to nature, to the earth. Here, that means it revitalizes. Although not everyone uses them; some use feathers or cotton for their beds."
"Then hold on a bit longer. The queen said you've improved a lot."
"Yes, she told me the same. I hope to leave this room soon."
