I get them all worked up and down on their knees, you see
Maeve has noticed the difference in Sunjata even in this short time together. His smiles come more easily, his eyes are brighter, and it's like the sun has breathed a new life into him. She's happy to see it. Truly. Even if there is a twinge of jealousy knowing that it isn't because of her. The feeling fades, replaced by the simple contentment that he's doing better than he was before and that's really all she ever wanted for him. She just hopes it can last longer than a season.
Relief washes through her when he doesn't question her words further, taking them at face value and sparing her the awkwardness of having to explain. "Jata, love, you know I'm on your side. Even when you're being an idiot." It's said affectionately, a smile curling on her lips as she gives his shoulder a playful shove before shifting on the counter to get more comfortable.
Maeve nods, a soft hum of consideration rising in her throat as her eyes track the movement of his hand, watching as he rubs at the newest tattoo placed on him by Safrin. "Maybe I'll ask her when I go. I only hope that I haven't made a mistake by requesting this item. With all that's going on I'm unsure if I should have asked for something else. Anything else." She sighs, pursing her lips as she draws one leg up, bracing the arch of her foot against the edge of the counter as she wraps her arms around her knee.

They take my fingers in their mouths like it's poetry
