Mau is basically her favorite person in all of Aather (besides Obi, but he's Obi). :x Even though he's younger, he's mature and is able to make decisions not only based off of his personal opinions, but what he thinks is logical and right. He's also one of the "older" members of Sapphire (I don't think she knows he's been there the longest?) and has a general idea of things that happened to him at home, which basically all add up to RESPECT!! She thinks of Mau as Sapphire's secret leader and Red as the figurehead that everyone thinks of as the leader. Red has the energy to motivate people into action, whereas Mau has the good decision-making skills.

But he is still also a kid and has moments of not fully understanding things (but striving to understand) and does dumb things like not sleeping when he's supposed to!! So she can allow him to make decisions when it's something important, but for everyday things she will fuss if she thinks it's necessary, because that's something she can do for him! And just in general they get along really well; she's able to have fun with him, be encouraged and supported by him, encourage and support him in return, and stand by each other when they need it.

LOTS OF FEELINGS

HOW DOES MAU FEEL ABOUT APPLE...
