Maeve
She doesn't have the energy to reply, eyes simply closing as her tears run into her ears, soaking her tangled hair at her temples. Maeve's fingers twitch in his, a vain attempt to return the squeeze only to find that she can't manage it, fighting back the fresh sobs that threaten to rise in her throat at the realization.
Her son spares her any embarrassment, ensuring that she's carried to the skyship with as much dignity as he can afford her, not daring to falter in his steps. The short trip is rough and she winces with each step, body protesting at being moved so roughly after having been in one position. Still, she manages to hold tightly to him with an arm around his neck, "Thank you..." She rasps to the man who had been watching over her, a smile on her cracked lips before she resigns herself to lay limply once more.
Another bed meets her back, cradling her abused body and she sighs in relief, thumb able to brush back and forth just slightly over Jude's fingertips. "How is your father? Is he..? Does he-" She can't finish the sentence, throat clenching shut tightly with a sudden swell of emotion, a shuddering breath wracking her thin frame.

I'm undone about to burst at my seams
'Cause I am picturing you beside me
So let me be everything that you need
