Maeve
There is a wave of guilt for his confirmation that she was the cause of one of the tears, but she already knew that she was. Maeve nods slowly, accepting the dismissal because she doesn't really have it in her to push further, but neither of them do. They're both a bit drained, tired, and barely keeping it together.
"Oh, no, it's fine. I was getting to bed earlier, but since the Halenani has reopened my nights are much longer." Not only were they longer, but somehow emptier. Whether it was because Locke isn't sharing her bed or something else was to be determined. "On top of not really sleeping." Her shoulders lift in a shrug, explaining part of what's dragging her down, weighing heavy on her heart. The response doesn't really surprise her. What can you even say to that? A laugh that holds no humor pushes past her lips, coloring the air between them, but she lifts her eyes to his. "I am too. I don't even know what brought it on. He just- just said he didn't needed me and told me to leave."
Maeve presses her lips together in a thin line, drawing in a slow breath, "I'm pregnant..." Does he even care? She's not sure he will, but she doesn't have anyone else to tell. Aurelia is the only other person who knows and she's feeling so overwhelmed by it all. If anyone understands the sudden fear of having a child that they'll have to raise on their own it's him.
