You're an angel, you know that?
Where are you working again?

Maeve winces slightly as the pain is transferred to her, a cost she's kept from Khair if possible, though her smile remains. Or at least, it remains until Khair asks her where she's working. She'd hoped not to have to tell her friend that...

"...The Sitar's Strings. They were the only place that was hiring and would take me, and we need the money, and the food..."

She seems rather dejected and apologetic, which actually isn't all that odd, considering Khair is a catperson and the place Maeve is working is run by human supremacists.
