Maeve heard Tali's words, nodding in agreement with her. While Maeve was a duelist and not a soldier or someone that had seen many battlefields in her life, she knew that conflict in general was an... interesting issue if looked at from that perspective. A battlefield is a place that not only swords clash, but also ideas and feelings. While hate and slaughter were plenty in such environments, lifelong bonds were also created by those who fought alongside each other and sometimes, even against each other.

[color=6ecff6]"It is true. I might not be a soldier, but I am a duelist. Even though people can lie and deceive, one's blade is a reflection of their true selves."[/color] Maeve said, nodding as she looked towards Valia.

[color=6ecff6]"Allard might be big and intimidating, but he is a very kind man indeed. Even I who arrived here just a few days ago know that already."[/color] she said, with a chuckle as she agreed with Tali.

[color=6ecff6]"He doesn't seem the type of person who would judge someone just because of their appearance or race."[/color] Maeve completed.  

Just after she said that though, Tali looked at hear after stretching herself. Her stare was a bit... intense though, which made Maeve a bit confused, looking at her back before Tali began to talk. Even though Maeve wasn't that experienced with romance or those type of things, she wasn't as naive to not notice that Tali was interested in her. Still, knowing and knowing how to react to such thing were two completely different things.

[color=6ecff6]"F-Far, yes? The desert heat is a bit... too much..."[/color] Maeve began saying, clearly talking about Tali as well with the last part while leaning a bit backwards, putting some distance between them. Her cheeks were remarkably red too, which was very noticeable due to her skin color, being an Isoli.

[color=6ecff6]"Not political marriage- I mean, they did try marrying me to someone- but that doesn't matter that much and- What?"[/color] She continued, still stumbling over her own words rather nervously as Tali continued. She was slowly regaining her composure while trying to avoid looking directly at Tali, which was going relatively well until Tali mentioned that she was better than a 'husband', which caught Maeve totally by surprise, making her suddenly get up, surprised, before sitting down again, embarrassed.

It did take her a few moments in a rather awkward silence for her to calm herself down and regain her composure and the noble air and image she had, which were almost completely shattered with what had just happened.

[color=6ecff6]"Are all succubus that... bold?"[/color] She asked, clearing her throat after a few moments in silence.
