My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
There were few times in Maeve's life where she rushed more than she did now. Amelia delivered the news of Seren's arrival to her so casually, unaware that the Madame had been worrying herself sick over the starchild, going through scenario after scenario in her head of what fate could have befallen her. Only for Amelia to simple deliver the news as if she was talking about the weather. Maeve tugged on her robe, uncaring of the rest of her appearance, rushing down stairs and across the footbridge into the Halenani proper to find her friend in one of her sitting rooms.
She didn't even say anything, throwing the doors open and launching herself at Seren, pulling her into a fierce hug as tears pricked her eyes. Maeve buried her face against her shoulder, unaware of the way she's trembling so, arm wrapped tightly around her friend. "I was so fucking worried about you." She rasped, voice tight with emotion, barely keeping herself together as she clung to her.
Only when her arms began to ache from holding her so tightly did Maeve draw back, holding onto her upper arms, leaning back enough to look her over. Clearly searching for anything amiss. When she found nothing, a breath of relief pushed past her lips, tears slipping down her cheeks as it sunk in that she was finally here.
