"What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said.
The only patron within the place that seemed unbothered by the raven's sudden arrival, unsettling as it was, was the Madame herself. Instead she stood calmly, a vision in black, drifting among her workers and guests with airy steps. They made a fitting pair, The Madame and the raven, seeming to compliment one another in aesthetics and state. Maeve cocked her head to the side as she stopped before the raven, letting out a breath, green eyes dim and red rimmed. Her hand extended, offering the raven a perch to stand on and should he take it, she will move out of the main living area they find themselves in.
Instead she will glide towards a room off to the side, dimly lit aside from the hearth and a few stray candles, flickering and dancing in the breeze that came in from the open window. The rain pattering against the deck that laid just beyond the double doors of this room. Maeve lowered the raven onto the empty coffee table in front of the flame so it might warm itself, banishing water from his ebony feathers, black as pitch and slick as if covered in tar.
She lowered herself onto the couch, silent as she regarded the raven, head tilting to the side as flames danced in her eyes. "Why is it that people fear such simple things? Ravens, rain, the dark... I'll never understand it." Maeve mused as if the raven might actually respond. Stranger things have happened in Caido and the Madame wouldn't be all that surprised if it did actually open its beak to speak.
