I would fall from grace just to touch your face
Maeve huffed a laugh, waving off his apology dismissively, "You know you're always welcome here, Noah. I'm happy to see you're fairing well." She replied breezily, pouring him a cup of tea and passing it over to the hunter as he settled in one of the armchairs near the fireplace. Despite the heat that lingered outside, there is warmth to be found in this office too, the queen easily chilled by the rain that beat against her windows. His question wasn't exactly surprising, but it made a dark brow raise either way as her head cocked to the side.
The Nightshade lowered herself into the seat next to him, turning her body towards his so she might face him more fully, "Yes, I have. I've met with Safrin many times, but I've also met with Frey. The latter didn't go so well." She huffed with a soft laugh, taking a sip of her tea, letting it warm her as she considered the other question. Maeve had yet to take a blatant stand even though it was clear where they would fall. Her goddess was Safrin and if she was asked to shut the Ascended out then that's what she would have to do. She couldn't deny her.
"I'll do what I must to keep the people here safe, but Safrin's stance on the Voice is clear. When the time comes, I'll do what is asked of me and she'll keep us safe." Maeve said firmly, balancing her tea against her knees as she held his gaze, unflinching in the wake of potential criticism.
