"What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said.
He warred with it, but eventually Korbin caved, stroking his fingers across the smooth wood of the lute. Maeve let out a breath, willing to let herself relax now that the raven boy had made his choice, keeping her gift with no strings attached. It was what allowed her to focus on her food, picking at the various vegetables and meats as Korbin suddenly lunged forward for his own.
With a ravenous ferocity that Maeve wasn't expecting, he dug in, using the cutlery that was there if only to shovel it in more quickly. They ate in silence, her eyes occasionally flicking up to watch him, but no movement was made otherwise. Not until there is a gentle knock at the door, Maeve lifting her head as Amelia peeked inside, "Maeve, some people are asking for you." She said softly, earning a nod from the Madame before she made to stand, offering Korbin a small smile.
"You're welcome to stay as long as you want. No one will bother you in here. Feel free to leave out the window. Just shut it behind you." Maeve told him, drawing herself up and stepping towards the door with one last look over her shoulder, finally slipping it closed behind her.
