[ the minotaur is dead, or dismantled, or whatever-the-hell-the-technical-term-should-be,and Stiles? surprisingly enough, feels more or less like a living person still. the fight was exhausting, he's fairly sure he'll need twenty years of sleep before even attempting his shields again, but as ever, sleep eludes him — and so he takes to what he knows will make the anxiety bubbling underneath his skin calm down a little, and goes to find those he knows, those he cares about, making sure they're alright, in one piece.
which leads us to now, with Stiles' voice carrying over the slight distance it would take for him to make it to where Maya is sitting: ] Maya? You doing alright?
[ as soon as he's close enough, he's getting a foil-wrapped rectangular something out of his pocket and holding it out to her. ] Beef jerky, got it from one of the new guys. It's not exactly a burger, but... [ better than nothing. better than the food they've gotten so far in the maze. ]
[It's been a long... however long it's been. Maya found the minotaur's power core and handed it over to Peter, and since then the exhaustion's started to creep up on her. Turns out exerting yourself a lot on little sleep and food isn't a great idea, and even Maya can run out of energy. She's dozing off periodically when Stiles spots her, and she wakes up abruptly (at the smell of food) and gives him a tired smile]
Score! I'll take anything meat-like!
[She unravels it ridiculously quickly for someone who was just half-asleep and shoves the whole thing in her mouth. She's beauty, she's grace, she's... talking with her mouth full]
[ it's likely that the most telling thing, for just how worried he is, is the way he watches her stuff the beef jerky in her mouth... and then just laughs. the kind of quick, relieved laugh that's less amused and more just fond. ]
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. I mean, in one piece, so... that's what counts, right?
[ as she eats, he takes that as his cue to flop down next to her. ]
You? [ at least she still has a healthy appetite, that's good. ]

vaguely handwaves this to sometime after maze: the mazening
