I would fall from grace just to touch your face
Maeve watched him closely as he sips at the tea, noting the sudden flash in his eyes that dissipates after a breath, but she doesn't comment. Instead she smiled knowingly, nodding in agreement as she took another sip, "It's a good blend. Spicy and robust. Much like the people here." She said with a huff of a laugh, trying to lighten the heaviness that's in the air, but they move on from it quickly enough.
His comment isn't surprising, but her lips curl into a smirk as her head cocked to the side, a dark brow arching as he motioned lamely with his hand. "One would think. I went to see them when I was staying in Stormbreak after the monsoons last season. It was when the Halenani collapsed. I was hoping for their help to rebuild given that it was their establishment in the first place. However, they weren't incredibly interested in the endeavor." The Nightshade explained, lifting her shoulders in a shrug, jade eyes lifting to meet his. "They said that while my nipples might be pretty enough to get the help of the people in Torchline, they wouldn't sway them." Amusing in hindsight, but it stung at the time. Especially considering the form that Frey had taken at the time.
Maeve nodded at his words, taking another sip of her tea, setting her empty cup to the side. "I did. When I was pregnant with Edmund I approached her in hopes of simply keeping my son safe, but she was generous and extended the protection to all of the children of Caido. Should they ever find themselves in danger, she will teleport them away, keeping them in her light until it is safe."
