at the sudden development of maebh’s history, mattie couldn’t help but chuckle. man, this was probably one of the biggest plot twists of the literal century, wasn’t it? safe to say, she was impressed, and yet… still couldn’t exactly wrap her head around the fact that she would just had gone and do something like that – good for her, that’s for sure, but matt, herself, would never be capable of doing such thing. maybe, if she was a vampire, and had lived for a long time, would change her mind about relationships, but now? yeah, it wasn’t an option, definitely. “— so, you’re basically saying that whenever people accuse me of being a fuckboy, again – i can just tell them that i’m not as bad as you were?” she’d eventually quip, somewhat teasing the other blonde, “i suppose we have time for that. granted, maybe not necessarily now, but i’m sure that whenever an ocassion arises, i’d be down to listen to whatever you gotta say, babe…” and with that snazzy send-off, she’d trail off. “try what, now? – stirring shit up in my own relationship? well, yeah… hate to break it to you, but that shitain’t gonna fly, you know?” she was quick to deflect, rejecting the idea of doing anything stupid when she was with clementine, “can’t possibly hurt my girlfriend – i’d rather not lose her, seeing as she’s the best i’ve ever had. quite someone special, that one.”
skepticism is one of maebh’s many, many traits. and if there’s one thing she’s grown pretty incapable of believing in over the years, that thing is love. or anything that resembles it. romantic love, at least. she still believes the love she feels for her children (despite them being long dead) and the affection she has for her friends (although she’ll never admit it willingly). but other than that? love is too rare to bother looking for it. “if that’s a good enough excuse for you, sure, feel free.” the vampire tells her shadowhunter pair. it is true - mattie isn’t as bad as maebh. in fact, mae wonders if madison is bad at all. you see, the woman right across from her babbles relentlessly about her stupid feelings for her stupid girlfriend, how terrible can she be? maebh fake gags as if she’s throwing up in her own mouth, covering it up with her hand. “okay, you’ve gone too far with you whole sapphic agenda, mate.” mae mocks, chuckling. “a big fucking sap you are... i wasn’t actually telling you to do that, though. i meant more like, stir shit up in the world? the whole... live recklessly thing, do whatever you want, yada, yada.” maebh shrugs. “we all get one life, right? so we might as well live it? although your life is kinda short, so maybe you should be careful. i don’t know.” the vampire contradicts herself then loses her entire point before she tries to get it back. “yolo. carpe diem. whatever it is.”
