((Maeve currently feels much the same way Khair does. At some point in the past, it's possible she could have had/did have some romantic feelings for her, but they weren't all that strong at the time, and in the absence of any encouragement from Khair, they faded; were it to come up for some reason, she wouldn't be averse to trying out a relationship with Khair, but she doesn't really have any particular desire to do so, either.))
They have indeed settled onto a couch, and Maeve will be perfectly happy to pet her friend and scratch her ears until Khair tires of it.
