Maeve
"You should attend once the war is done. As much as we might wish for it not to come, it is going to come. While some might think it naïve to make plans for after it's passing, you need something to look forward to." Maeve told her, giving her arm a light squeeze as they meandered through the woods, letting their feet carry them towards their overall destination. She didn't bother paying too much attention, caught up in her own thoughts and feelings as it were.
The confession stung more than Maeve wished to acknowledge. Though she shouldn't be surprised. Part of her was soothed to know that Seren had spoken to Hotaru. That she had been able to potentially provide some comfort for the woman even if she was jealous that she couldn't have done it herself. Maeve swallowed thickly, dropping her gaze to the forest floor as her eyes suddenly pricked with tears, a tightness growing in her best. "I know why she ended things with me, Seren. I know it was to keep me safe. She didn't want to drag me down with her. She said she wanted to keep from turning my hands into tools for murder." Hotaru had told her many things on that beach where they shared their last moments together. Their last kiss. A dying bloom that never truly got to take root. Easily pulled from the ground before it could grow too deep.
"I may be selfish, but I won't deny her this wish... There are too many complications and I'm not in the business of being cruel." Maeve reached up to wipe a stay tear from her cheek roughly, hating herself for crying over something that never truly was, a bitter taste settling across her tongue.

But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush
