Maeve sat still, quietly listening to the brothers arguing. She could tell that it was about her, but she hadn't the heart to interfere, especially in this condition. She felt truly sick and her heart was shattered. It's not surprising that in this state she hardly heard Dermott calling her from the branch above her. And when she finally did she practically jumped.
"Oh, sorry Dermott" she smiled weekly. "Didn't see you there"
I bet you didn't see Rongar either then sighed Dermott.
She looked behind her and saw Rongar standing there.
"Sorry Rongar, I was just thinking about something…" Just then Sinbad roared something even louder that caused Rongar to indicate towards him.
"Yeah, I am worried about them" sighed Maeve. "I've never heard them argue like this before."
Dermott interrupted her. Rongar's told me what's been going on. We both agree that this has something to do with some sort of magic
"What?" she asked hopefully.
Well, we aren't sure continued Rongar. But earlier on I had an encounter with Firouz, who said that Sinbad only let me join the crew because I saved his life and out of pity
"Oh Rongar, that isn't true at all…" started Maeve but he silenced her.
I know, my point is, when Doubar consulted Firouz about this, he didn't know what he was on about. But he did say that you'd called him a worthless madman that bored everyone half to death
But I haven't spoken to Firouz all day
Exactly said Dermott. And you were upset about Sinbad earlier, weren't you He continued at her nod. Did you ask him about it? she nodded again. And? He prompted as Maeve's eyes lit up.
"He had no idea what I was on about and swore it wasn't him" she laughed. "So this really is all some person playing with us"
Or people added Rongar.
More yelling interrupted the meeting as Sinbad and Doubar started to get heavy.
"Oh God, Sinbad will never forgive himself if he hurts Doubar" shrieked Maeve as she got up and ran towards them.
Do you need help? asked Rongar.
No, you'd better see to Firouz and let him know though Maeve sent back, still running towards the brothers.
"You knew I cared for her, you rubbed it in my face every opportunity you could. So you just decided to rub it in further by taking her away from me altogether? I thought I was your brother, I thought I mattered to you"
"Oh, so that's how you're playing it, trying to get the sympathy vote. That won't work on me lad. I saw her after you'd said all those vile things, I wouldn't say them to a man let alone a woman. Who the hell are you trying to kid. This is all your fault, you disgust me trying to pretend its my fault, all I ever did was try to comfort her after YOU insulted her, YOU mentally hurt her and YOU broke her heart. Frankly, I'm ashamed to call you my brother"
Sinbad pulled his hand back to thump Doubar with all his might when Maeve stepped in the way.
