The rain was vicious and violent, but she didn't hurry her pace. She walked with her arms wrapped around her middle, as if she was in a great deal of pain. She was completely drenched, but she didn't care. So caught up in her thoughts, she bumped into someone hurrying the opposite direction. "Sorry," she muttered, moving to walk around the person and continue her path down the sidewalk.

"Hey….are you okay?" A familiar voice asked. Maeve paused and turned around to see the succubus she had met last night.

"He told me everything. No wonder you were up in arms at the bar," she let out a humorless chuckle.

"What are you doing out here?" Bo asked, taking a step closer to the smaller Fae. Maeve lowered her head.

"Dyson, well…he said something…pretty hurtful," she trailed off and shuddered a bit from the chill she was just now starting to feel, and from the pain radiating from her side.

"Why don't you come with me? At least you would be able to dry off before you catch your death of cold," Bo tilted the umbrella she was holding so that it was now covering both of them. The rain lessened in intensity, but didn't stop.

"Why are you offering kindness now when last night you wanted to rip my head off?" Maeve asked bluntly, arching her eyebrow.

"Trick…talked to me last night, after you both left. I didn't know you and Dyson had been friends for so long. I'm sorry for how I acted; it is just…hard to see him, especially with someone else." Bo shifted her weight from foot to foot, looking very uncomfortable.

"You still love him…so much it hurts," Maeve mused aloud, tucking a strand of sodden hair behind her ear.

"Yes….but there is nothing that can be done about it," the succubus said quietly, a flicker of pain crossing her features. The rain stopped as unexpectedly as it had started. "Come on, my place is not far from here. You don't look so hot," Bo said, gently closing her umbrella.

"Sounds….good," Maeve shuddered, her teeth chattering. The cold was starting to be unbearable. Bo placed her hand on the smaller Fae's shoulder. "So he said something hurtful?" she phrased it as a question as she started leading Maeve to the warehouse she and Kenzi shared.

"Yup," Maeve replied, popping the 'p'.

"Want me to kick his ass?"

"Thinking about it….though I may let him grovel for a bit first. Last time, I got a car," Maeve half-smiled and tried to ignore the throbbing pain she was feeling. It only served to remind her that she had lots to accomplish, and not nearly enough time to do so.
