"What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said.
Aidon sees Locke first and he tries to notify Maeve, sending flashes and a mix of emotions along their bond, attempting to bring her from her thoughts. It doesn't work. The only thing that does is the sound of Locke's voice. Aidon lands ahead of her, circling her legs as she comes to a stop, pressing heavily against her side in support. A hand comes down to the top of his had, resting lightly there as her other arm remains tucked around her middle, covering the hidden swell of her stomach. "Just because I'm queen doesn't mean I can't take a walk on a beach that I've known since I was a girl."
Maeve murmurs, her voice not sounding like her own despite that it very much is, a wave of something that she can't quite place washing over her. It feels like there is cotton in her head, stuffed full and struggling to comprehend that he's even here before her, a sheen of discoloration clinging to the world before her. Bare feet come to a stop, toes digging in the sand, but she barely registers the warmth. "Hm?" She blinks slowly, dazedly, jade eyes almost glazed as they slip to him.
"Can't sleep. I walk when I can't sleep. Normally end up here." It's one of the few places she feels safe. Where she feels close to him even when he isn't here. Except he is here. Now. Before her. Living and breathing and looking just how she left him the last time. Her chest aches, tightening at the sight of him even as her feet carry her forward, drawing her closer to him automatically. She stops an arms length away, looking up at him with that same dazed expression in her eyes, seeming far away despite being right here. "You're home... You- you didn't come find me."
