You make it sound so transactional. Friendship, is that what you're proposing?

[maevelous]

Do you believe we can be friends?

[ It's a genuine question. Maeve's curious about his opinion. The only human she could trust thus far has been Felix. And while this guy does give off some Felix vibes, he had been a guest at the park. He went there for pleasure, not simply for a paycheck. ]

As opposed to two individuals in a mutually beneficial arrangement?

[maevelous]

You can't blame me for finding a transaction-based arrangement more comforting. Your kind did make me the madame of a brothel, after all.

[ William averts his eyes for a moment, as if he feels guilty about it. ]

And I'm a businessman where I'm from, but that doesn't mean we have to do things that way.

[ But. ]

I know we're not exactly starting off on even footing here.

[maevelous]

Prove to me I can trust you, sweetheart. And then I'll have no problems calling you a friend. Think that's a challenge you're willing to accept?

[larped]

That's all anyone can ask for.

[ This is where he'd tip his hat, if he had one. ]

You're a cautious woman, I respect that. So thank you. For reaching out.
