I would fall from grace just to touch your face
"I will. I have no plans to leave this place vulnerable." Maeve reassures him once more before she shifts the conversation. The change in him is instant. He looks out the window, but that spark in his eyes is more telling than anything. She wonders, briefly, if she'll ever have that. If it'll ever truly last. The Nightshade pushes that thought away, unwilling to feel anything else in this moment other than joy for someone she's come to consider a friend.
She slowly stands, rising to her feet and moving over to the tea cart, gathering a tin to put the blend into so he might take it with him. When she turns back to him it's with a gentle smile on her lips and a knowing look in her eyes. "You should tell her, Noah." It's said gently, but there is something a bit pressing in her voice. An encouragement laced with a hardness that's unexpected from someone who seems so delicate. "A love like that is hard to find. It doesn't come often and when it does? You have to hold onto it. Seize it with everything you are. She deserves that kind of devotion and so do you."
Maeve approaches then, holding out the tin of tea, offering him another smile that's softer this time. "Sometimes we only get one chance. Don't let it go."
