Everybody will love a beautiful poem,

a poetry that effortlessly rhyme.

But who would love a messed up poet,

the one who tore up writing all that crime.

Bleed on to the pages,

drank all the wine.

Drunk writing, burnt up all his works,

cause who would ever do that for him,

who told him he's worth all that mess,

that he was worth all the time.

maeve snorts, shaking her head, "how silly." she says with an amused smile on her lips. 

it isn't the first time maeve's gotten something on her person stolen, but this time, it's a bit comedic. ah, this should be fun.

she watches as the female turns to leave, eyes gleaming a certain mirth. "odd. i seem to be missing something, my finger feels quite light," she muses, seemingly to herself, but loud enough for the other to hear, "oh, pretty miss. you wouldn't happen to have seen a shiny gem around here, now would you?" 

[maevesques]

maeve smiled as one kitten practically hopped onto her lap, turning a few times and settling down, the soft purrs emitting from it brought maeve's mind to ease as her fingers gently brushed through its soft fur. 

"the location makes it hard to not to miss, honestly. i only found it when i was walking through the alleyways, but it sure is a treasure," she laughed softly, picking up another kitten and cradling it in her arms, her finger gently tickling at its belly. "i'm glad you're enjoying it here." 

maeve greeted the workers, laughing when they had been surprised she was there. she sighed dramatic with a mischievous smile. "yes, yes, quiet as a cat, i know. thank you for taking care of my new darling friend," her eyes twinkled as she turned to face her, "my name's maeve. and please, the pleasure's all mine, morgan. how are you feeling now? i took care of those men, annoying bunch, really. but they shouldn't bother you again."

She is caught off guard, but her alertness kicks in when she spots the men that are pursuing the female. She immediately wraps her arms around her waist, pulling her closer to her body. 

“Not as much as I missed you, darling,” Maeve speaks loud enough to ensure it carries directly to the men. She brings her fingers to gently card through the female’s soft indigo blue hair, inhaling her scent.

Once she pulls away, she spins the her around and smiles, a wink following after while mouthing an ‘I’ve got you.’. She turns to face the men, keeping the female behind her. Her head tilting a little to peer over her shoulder at her, but keeping her eyes on the men.

“These men have been following you for quite some time... Do you even know them?”

[maevesques]

a small fit of laughter fell through her lips, her eyes gleaming a certain mirth as she unclasped her hands from behind her back and held one to her chest, giving a silly little bow before she entered the vicinity with star. 

"i got used to it, which is probably not good and i definitely wouldn't recommend it, but i guess—it just helps with accepting that's just how life is when you're protecting linkon city." she shrugged a bit, her eyes looking around the cafe. 

her gaze returned to the woman and lifted her loose fist to press against her lips, chuckling softly. "i like walking around sometimes, or go out of the city where there's barely any pollution just to see the stars. but also? i'll legit just rot in bed, scrolling through social media or reading stories." 

she blinked a few times then tilted her head, "not wrong. linkon's full of activities you can get yourself into. depends on what you like to do on your time off or for fun, maybe i can suggest some places."

Maeve laughed, shaking her head, although she knew very well how Andrew gets when he doesn't get coffee in time.

She blinked then nodded her head in acknowledgement, “oh, good, then. I was about to say, he better not be making you pay for it.” 

She tapped the manila folder against the desk and set the file to the side,  returning her attention back to the female with a smile as she leaned over and nodded her, “yes, that’s correct. I should scold Andrew or get Captain Jenna to scold him for not introducing us to you yet, tsk. Either way, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Star. What a beautiful name.”

“Do you need any help with the drinks? I’m not sure how many you’re getting, but I can help carrying them with you if you need.”

[maevesques]

she saw the nod, seemingly approving her reaction time and it made her eyes sparkle. she had kept note of xavier's movements, ensuring she can tell when or how he'll strike—majority of the time anyway—she took a few steps, their wooden swords clashing against one another. 

she took a step back briefly and hummed, "recorded myself a few times using the monitors here, eyeing my progress, where i need to sharpen my skills, and such—you know me… it's endless. even now," she struck toward his upper right shoulder.

"i have still have a lot to improve."

You're on. Let's see how well our training's paid off, then. Mm, I can already smell the victory��I mean food. Heh.

[maevesques]

[i tap my fingers along the steering wheel, head nodding to the music playing on the speakers as she wait for mikaela, humming to the tune until i see her and unlock the car doors.]

hey, gorgeous. [i chuckle, giving her a warm smile, my hand on the stick shift, pulling away from the apartment as i drive to the cafe a little further away from both of our places.]

hah! too many goddamn wanderer attacks lately, it's insane. kind of surprised i could even get time like this.

Maeve had completed her tasks for the day, car keys jingling as she swings the loop of it around her finger, a gentle hum emitting as she steps into her car. She takes out her phone, texting Mikaela's number.

>> Hey, what are you up to? >> I know it's a little late, but are you up to go to the cafe? >> It's been a while, hm? >> Let me know and I can come pick you up

[maevesques]

"Ooops, sorry girl. Bumped into ya by accident," Cheshire holds her hands up apologetically, "I like your, uh..." She points to her face, "Make-up, by the way," her hands turn into finger guns.

— @cheshire-liddell (hehe just a silly thing)

it could've been maeve's fault, her eyes having been too glued to her phone as she walked around the city and when she collides with the female, she only let out a laugh and shakes her head with her hands waving dismissively.

"nah, don't worry about it, i wasn't really paying attention." she blinks then scratches her cheek lightly, a small smile etching on her lips, "ah, thank you. i like your hair." she nods, pointing towards the latter's head.

[Maeve let out a chuckle at Mikaela's text message, typing up a swift reply before setting the phone onto it's holder and driving off to the direction of the female's house.]

[Once arrived, she sent a quick text to notify her best friend that she was out front.]

>> Alright, I'm here. Get your ass out here, you can chat my ear off about your latest discoveries, my profound detective. 🤭

[maevesques]

Maeve positioned herself, fingers gripping onto the handle, her eyes locked on Xavier's movements, and seemingly moving in sync with him like practiced choreography. 

She stepped to the side once the first strike appeared, parrying it with a quick thrust of her sword sweeping to his right side. Her eyes gazing into his for a briefly moment with a smile. 

"Not bad…"

[maevesques]

She followed her, hands clasped behind her back as she listened, nodding every so often to ensure to the female that she was listening, and intently at that. 

"Yeah, it is. And you know it gets bad when you start dreaming of work," she shuddered, letting out a soft chuckle. "I think I'd rather have dreams of spreadsheets than wanderers, though." 

The sunrays hit her face the moment they exit the building, a subtle reminder that she did need to take a break every now and then. She continued to follow Star suit, humming a soft tune as a smile etched along her lips, tugging at the corners at the female's comment. 

"Thank you and no offense taken. You're not the first person asking that question, but to answer it…" Her smile somewhat turned faint and she shrugged a bit, "you kind of get used to it. Some days are longer than others, and so on. It's definitely not for people who, well, y'know… Prefer to be clocking out immediately once their eight hours hit."
