The queen's shoulders slump as she comes to a stop, emotions suddenly overwhelming her in a way she's not expecting, causing her throat to tighten and her breath to hitch.

She glances back at him, jade eyes red rimmed with unshed tears, a shaky breath slipping past her lips. "Yeah... M'sorry I scared you. I didn't mean to. Just- Just didn't want something to happen to your companion. Know too many people who've lost theirs." Maeve offers softly, turning to face him fully before unceremoniously dropping down to sit in the sand, arms wrapping around the tops of her knees.
