Maeve
He's lucky that he lands that flipped pancake back in the pan. Otherwise she would have given him so much shit. That's what sisters do. Adopted or not. He has her distracted by his questions about Sunjata and Torchline. Enough that she doesn't have the mind to give him more of a hard time about his supposed baron title.
"It would do more harm than good. Let's be honest, Ronin... He's not going to want me like that. Not when he has Nate. He needed a friend and that's what I was. Anything else was just temporary. Ultimately I'd rather have him in my life as just that then not at all." Maybe that's why it's easier to swallow. She'll be okay. She'll eventually remove the hooks he's managed to sink into her heart and move on from the hold he has over her. Time and distance will work in her favor with this at least. "If I didn't have so many people depending on me then I might consider somewhere else, but at the end of the day my workers need me." Maeve kind of needs them too even if she doesn't say it.
She smiles back and it reaches her eye this time, "Thanks. I appreciate it." Maeve pushes away from the island, moving around the side to watch more closely. Her lips purse as he ladles more batter into the pan, waiting for it to bubble before he flips it. "Can I try one?"

Poor little girl
still waiting for her happy ending
