Pathetic-- the tone of voice, the posture of the woman before her... Maeve swallowed hard. Her head spun. Heart pounded in her chest. This wasn't so unlike the first time. Why had this become a regular occurrence in her world? One step backwards, flinching to the side. Wanting to be out of the line of fire. Way outside her weight class. Coming to life around her, awash with gore, frankly Maeve doesn't know what to make of it aside from the nausea that bubbles to life within her stomach. Sides aching. Head pounding. Worse than last time, somehow. The soiled dove stumbled, though she knows better than to attempt an escape. No, the girl just needs to be somewhere that won't get her killed. Thoughts racing, only now realizing that she's splattered with blood (whose?) in addition to whatever was left in the wake of her captor's crop. Trying to steady herself, cowering. Waiting for silence before she opens her eyes again, and then immediately wishing she hadn't. The throes of sensory overload gripping her system, Maeve is doing her best but the world around her swam. Towering over her, the woman seems to lack true malice. Wait-- what? She lacked malice, despite the carnage that lay just feet before them. Despite the gore that still clung to the woman's coat. Doe eyed and blinking hard, heart pounding though maybe not quite as fearful as she had been, she tries to find words. "Thank you..." the words are soft, they come with an anxious lick of her lips. "'m Maeve." Too anxious to drop eye contact, instead watching the woman with wide eyes. "I just... why?" The first act of kindness to come her way since the fall of her home, her tone isn't one that harbors ungratefulness-- just curiosity. Maybe it was uncouth but hell, what was a Sidi anyway? |
