Re: 9:45ish
Maeve rolled her eyes at Cath and smirked at Mary. Like Mary really gave a damn about the manners. Mae was pretty damned certain that she didn't. "What is going on in the kingdom of Queen Mary?" she asked conversationally as the lovely bartender fetched their beers.
MP was probably the only person on this whole damned boat that she liked besides her husband. That was saying something. "Right nice idea having this drink-fest. I'm surprised how few people are here. Don't know a good thing when it smacks 'em, I suppose." That was her way of being nice and saying thanks for the drinks.
While she spoke, she fingered the rim of the glass with one hand while the other snuck under Cath's shirt sleeve and scratched at the hidden cuff marks. She was so mean to the old man but that's what made it fun.
