Maeve
She watches him muse over her question before replying truthfully and Maeve hums, downing the rest of her mead before setting the empty glass on the table. "So perhaps it would be wise to ask me what it'll be instead of assuming." She teases with a soft huff, reaching up to run a hand through her hair, musing the curls a bit. "I don't always need more to be satisfied, Jata." Maeve murmurs, reassuring him that he has nothing to worry about from her. That they can simply enjoy each other without making it a thing. He has too much happening in her life and she's trying to figure out what the fuck to do with her own.
That playfulness fades even as he reaches up to caress her calf beneath her dress, earning him a soft sigh as she relaxes further. Her own smile drops when he speaks on his husband and now ex-wife. She licks her lips at the sight of heartache snatching that light from his eyes and that warmth in her chest fades with it. "I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully the time apart will allow him to figure things out and he'll be back." She does hope that's the case. For Sunjata's sake. The man has been through so much and her heartaches for him. To gain and lose so much in such a short amount of time. She knew it must be difficult. "I'm not upset, Jata. I just wanted to be able to be here if you needed me. That's all. You aren't always the best at asking for help."
Her voice is soft and she scoots forward just a little bit so she's close enough to reach him. Her knees draw up so she can lean towards him, reaching out with her free hand to take his. She gives it a squeeze, bringing it up to press a soft kiss to the back of his hand, "You're a friend. I care that you're alright and I know that you really aren't alright. I just don't think you should have to be alone right now."
