I get them all worked up and down on their knees, you see
She's not expecting anyone to come looking for her out here. It wasn't often that the queen got time to herself anymore. Between Edmund, the Halenani, and the citizens of there was little time spent alone. The Lullaby's voice is the last she expects to hear, however. Maeve spins, a hand coming up to cover her heart and that breath she's been holding suddenly expels, dark brows knitting together at the sight of him. "Remi?" The Nightshade is just about to ask him what exactly he's doing out here, but he beats her to it. She shakes her head, wind tousled curls shifting with the movement as she shoves her hands into the pockets of her sweater, an attempt to keep from fidgeting.
"No, of course not." The reply is easy and she takes a few steps forward to greet him, hesitating only a moment before she moves to hug him, knowing better than to linger too long in the embrace. It still strikes her at times how oddly close they are. The bond that they share. One that she's not sure he easily maintains with others. The hug only lasts for a breath before she's drawing back, not wanting to overwhelm him with her emotions, knowing that her anxiety is still lingering even if it's not at the forefront of her thoughts. "Oh? It's alright, Remi. You don't need to apologize. It was perhaps a bit reckless of me to make the trip, but I didn't want to break my promise. Even if Ronin would have understood."
