definitely homeless, mostly playing around because the mun has too many feels

[shewhointoxicates]

You shouldn't have done this. Why didn't you listen to him when he told you not to bring me here?

[She looks around, eyes wide, scanning the area around her as she's so used to doing now. Even being outside her house feels strange, as though at any moment she might be attacked. She leans in to speak to her mun softly. She doesn't want to draw any unnecessary attention.]

The journal name is... well, it proves that you're adept at using Google. I'm not sure if it describes me. Unless this is some kind sick commentary on the fact that someone is stalking me.

[She takes a deep breath before speaking again.]

I don't know what you're planning, but it can't happen yet. You know why. This isn't fair to he or I, and you could be putting both of us in danger. Please just.. if I have to be here, I need to stay inside of your head. Spence said that you protect your muses and, as much as I hate it, it's what I need right now.

Please don't bring me here again.

[Perk.

He heard his name.]

E-excuse me?

[He cocks his head, his hands hovering close to his chest. He can't... he can't be sure. Not at all. Not in this place.

But he can hope.]

Are you, uh... do you need some help? It's, uh, it can be kind of confusing out here.

[shewhointoxicates]

Spencer?

[She inhales deeply, then exhales with a long sigh.]

I'm sorry she brought me here. I don't... I don't know if this place is safe.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

[Okay.

He's going to get a little pale now.]

You, uh...

[She knows his name.]

A-are... Is that you, Maeve?

[shewhointoxicates]

Yes...

[She realizes that this is the first time she's come face to face with him, and, well.. jackpot. Maeve is stunned that a man who's both this brilliant and this good-looking is somehow single. Suddenly she feels very self-conscious about how she looks (she's plain, she knows) and begins to surreptitiously smooth down her hair. There's a little smile on her face but she tries to keep it under control. Now's not the time.]

You've been here longer than I have. Do you think it's safe here?

[leftinbasketforfbi]

[He's not even aware of his own attractiveness. More than that, he doesn't see any of her flaws--to him, she's the prettiest girl in the world.

He's mute for a moment, not entirely sure how to react--the girl of his dreams is right here and he's seeing her, but it's... this isn't the time. Not now.]

I... W-well, it depends on the mun, and from what I know of yours, she'll keep you safe. People can't hurt each other without express permission from both muns.

[shewhointoxicates]

[She nervously pushes a strand of her hair behind her ear.]

Right. We're... like toys almost in this place. Which is unnerving, but at least it means there's a measure of protection. My mun doesn't want to hurt me because that would hurt you and.. she likes you very much.

[Almost too much. There's a little twinge of jealousy.]

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Y-yeah, that's, um, surprisingly common. Among muns, I mean. It's a little unnerving.

[Don't worry, Maeve, he's all yours.]

B-but you're safe. That's the important part.

[shewhointoxicates]

Yeah...

[She pauses and smiles now, her cheeks red.]

Spencer.. um.. you're.. so handsome.

[She laughs nervously, feeling foolish.]

[leftinbasketforfbi]

[Alright, now his cheeks are all red. His tongue is sort of tied up in his mouth, and he's not sure what to say.]

I... I'm g-glad you think so.

[His pupils are dilated and his hands twitch at his chest, like he's going to touch her but he's not sure if he should.]

And... [He lets out a nervous laugh before biting his lip.] You're, um, you're really pretty yourself. I, uh, I w-wish we were seeing each other in a more normal place, but...

[shewhointoxicates]

Thank you...

[She smooths down her hair again. Maeve knows that their relationship is different though. She fell in love with him without ever seeing his face. It's not what's on the outside.]

If it's safe, then we're ok.

[He looks so nervous, like he's not sure what to do with her. As though if he did something wrong she would run. She's not going anywhere, especially in this unknown place.]

You can relax.... can you relax?
