to be fair, such a statement really shouldn't have surprised maya at this point-- not with how things had been going in the time they'd been talking. still, she can't help but press her lips in a thin line to at least try and hold back a smile, a single brow arching in question with a hum.

"you- you realize that just brings up, like- a million other questions, right?"

"oh, y'know, everything's great. we're thriving. i'm thriving. it's fine." she's obviously lying. maya really should know better than to let herself be an idiot, considering she'd trusted and believed jack for so long. but jack was . . . jack, and maya trusted with her hearts far more often than she trusted with her brain-- and now, everything was going to shit.

the crimson raiders had been catching on to her existence as a whole as they followed jack's plans closer and closer, which was disorienting enough as it is, considering maya was just barely used to anyone else at hyperion acknowledging her at the bare minimum. but she spent more and more of her free time with jack, so perhaps it was inevitable.

"what if... what if something happens to you, though?" her words were quiet in response, her gaze focused on her hands placed flat on her desk. anyone could tell that she liked jack, even if realistically, she probably shouldn't have. "i- i don't think i'd be able to handle something happening to you."

jack could talk about literally anything, and maya would just sit there and listen bc she adores him and his voice and rly just embodies the 🥺 face.

he gave her attention once, and now she's attached.

she’s almost embarrassed to have rhys find her knife collection--- almost. given, she’s easily embarrassed and made sheepish by just about anything, but to be fair, she’d found those knives herself. fair and square. no killing, just panic-running to some boxes she found, grabbing what she could reach, and getting out. if she didn’t have those knives for protection, she likely could have died a lot sooner.

but for now, she was just rocking back and forth on her heels. rhys didn’t really have to be worried about offending a ‘pandoran’-- maya didn’t even really technically consider herself one. she only happened to live there by accidental necessity, and she already liked talking to him a lot more than others she could have been talking to, willingly or not.

“i like pens. i haven’t collected pens since i was a kid.”  it’s quiet honesty, but she hopes the message behind her tone is clear enough. she doesn’t wanna be awkward with him. she’ll talk to him about stuff if he really wants her to.

    any other time, the static might have hurt maya’s ears, but this time-- this time, she couldn’t even concentrate on that. now, she was only focused on one feeling: heartbreak. fear and hurt and guilt washed hot and cold through her body all at once, her own salty tears streaking down her cheeks as her chest heaved with sobs barely being held back.

she hadn’t meant for this to happen. jack had been so good with wording things JUST RIGHT, and she was SO CONFUSED.

even lilith was angry with her, and moxxi? moxxi was just disappointed in that mother way-- combined with how jericho had responded, all of that might have hurt the most.

“. . . p-please. i didn’t-- i wasn’t-- t-this wasn’t how-- how things w-were supposed to go. . .”

maybe jack had a point, but really, when did maya ever follow her own advice or be able to convince herself of anything? she hardly ever had any self-esteem, and her confidence was practically nonexistent. but she cared about others way more than about herself, that much she knew for certain-- that included jack, as of late, even if her friends in the crimson raiders might have tried to convince her otherwise.

hands rubbed at her arms before giving a small shrug, lips pulling into what may have been the attempt at a half-grimace as her legs pulled up underneath herself on one side of the couch in the large hyperion office ( the one with a bigass window facing all of space? maybe so ).

“convincing myself doesn’t matter. we’re not talking about me here, jack.”
