Nerida turned and smiled as Sirius approached. "Oh what a good turnout it has been for this show! Yes! Please join us Lugh!" She sang. Thought she knew that she couldn't control Lugh.
"Which side will you be on? I wonder." Nerida mused. "Surely not the girl who left you, had thrown you in the dungeon. Vali is friends with her afterall so you'd be siding with her if you protect him. So what about being on my side then?" She smiled wickedly, "I bet you would make a wonderful addition to my men."
"I'm not on your side," Sirius cut in, his voice low and unwavering.
To Maeve's surprise, he strode toward her, wrapping a firm arm around her waist. She stiffened at the unexpected contact, her breath catching.
"And Maeve didn't leave me," he continued. "I'm the one who left her. But I promised her I'd come back." His gaze flickered with something unreadable as he pulled her closer. "And I have."
