Previous feelings of helplessness and shame continued to bloom within her, making her chest ache as she laid upon the Demon's shoulder. Maeve was a direct foil of the demoness on the other shoulder, laying there like a dead fish. Maybe if she remained pliant, she could leave this terrible situation quickly. Most would be thankful for the goodwill of complete strangers, since she was in such a precarious position, but, all she could feel was embarrassment. In the middle of a public walkway, and still unable to defend herself. All of those combative classes in university she zoned out on were taunting her now as she watched the brick road below, moving as the Pirate continued to saunter away.
Suddenly, at once, Maeve's body spun off the Demon's shoulder, making her let out a gasp as her back hit solid ground. The fairy grunted, hitting her chest a couple of times to help herself catch her breath again. “Fine Fine, but I’m keeping the alcohol" Picking herself back up, violet eyes watched as the idiotic man downed the potion he claimed was alcohol.
"If potions were what you sought, you should've simply asked." Maeve muttered to herself, dusting her cloak off and pulling up her hood so that she remained mostly concealed to the strangers passing by her. Her voice was drowned out by Anise's fit of rage, unintelligible curses most-likely falling upon deaf ears. Maeve then peered over to Olfa and the shop-keep. Her name was Silva, if she overheard correctly..
"I'm sorry you had to go through that Maeve." Anise's empathetic comment brought Maeve's gaze back to the half-demoness, who now seemed much calmer. The fairy smiled as Anise continued, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. Once Anise finished, and gave her thanks to Olfa, Maeve decided to speak up.
"Yes, thank you again, Olfa. Apologies for the inconvenience.." Her voice was tired, mirroring her physical exhaustion after not sleeping the night prior. "I can repay you all, actually.." The naive girl began to dig into the coin purse that hung on her belt, ignoring the fact that the pirate was still among the group. "How much is fair for these kinds of services.. ah, damn, I've never had to pay for protection before.." She continued to mutter to herself, brows furrowed in concentration, before she hastily handed huge fistfuls of gold coin to Olfa, Anise, and Silva. It was a hefty sum of her earnings from the bakery, but she knew she could earn it back. Having no money at all would feel better than the gnawing feeling of uselessness.
Taking a deep breathe, Maeve continued, "Olfa, as much as I am thankful for your offer, I think it would be best for me to leave this place. There's nothing left for me here." Her words were somber, but her tone was steadfast as she looked up at the friendly bear.
