There was something in Maeve's tone when she spoke about Rosalie and her brother having time or not to visit her and the way she was using a formal way of addressing her instead of just using her given name like Lucien was. He'd almost say that she was jealous, but that felt strange, he'd never really seen Maeve jealous before. Still, Rosalie was a guest and clearly someone important to Vincent for him to bring her here, so Lucien wanted to be as kind as possible.
Maeve dear, I would think with the title warden-constable would come some leeway in how he spends his spare time, blight or no blight.He gave Maeve a strong look, if looks could talk his look would say, 'what the fuck has come over you, you sound like a crazy person. Ya know what, don't tell me now, but I'm asking about this later!' As Rosalie answered Lucien's question, Lucien nodded and smiled warmly.
Mainly the history department but I do dabble in archaeology, which let's be fair, it's basically hands on history.Then he switched focus to watch Maeve give Vincent the good news, she certainly seemed to come at it rather abruptly, there wasn't any real segue into the topic change. Though in all fairness it had been part of why they'd invited her brother over this evening. He just gave Maeve another funny look and then smiled as Rosalie congratulated them.
