There was no hesitating and worrying, when she messaged Cami asking if she could come over. This wasn't the time or place to worry about things like sexual tension and broken hearts. She just wanted to talk, and she knew Cami would, too. She couldn't bring herself to think that there would ever be a time she couldn't just ask Cami if she could come over to talk. It felt so wrong to even consider it.

Sure enough, as soon as she'd asked, Cami welcomed her. She'd even offered to cook - which was good, because Maebe had subsisted on nothing but candy for the last day or so, and was feeling the effects of a sour stomach.

She took a shower, tried to look presentable (because booty call or not, Maebe wasn't about to look bad in front of Cami, ever) and headed over into towns to knock on her door. She had Taym's messenger bag slung around her shoulder, and was just putting out a cigarette as she knocked.

It took two insistent knocks in order for Cami to realize that there was someone at the door. She'd shot off the quick 'let yourself in' message (though she always said that, why didn't the blonde just let herself in all the damn time?) and gone to work on enchiladas. Enchiladas were good comfort food and, when done right, could go a long way on a budget.

Hilariously, the redhead didn't need much of a budget anymore. She'd been incredibly frugal to the point of once again not really buying clothing for herself. Shorts were tattered remains of old jeans that had been cut off when they'd started falling apart. Her shirt was new, or, had been...recently?

Time was not really something that Camille paid attention to anymore. Her weeks were marked by how much Mimsy's boy had grown, or alternately, how much Mimsy's hair had. Cami lived for her family, now, and hardly interacted much with the Hunters overall.

Maebe, of course, would always be an exception. Her heart always ached when they were in the same room. Unrequited love, or perhaps more accurately doomed love, was never going to be anything but an aching wound in her chest. But Cami didn't have it in her to turn the woman away. Not now. Not ever. Considering everything that had happened? Maebe was more than welcome. Not bothering to rinse her hands she used a foot to nudge the door open, wrinkling her nose slightly at the smell of smoke before her face smoothed again. "Enchiladas are in the works."

Maebe's normally ice cold eyes were round and almost comically glistening at the sound - and smell - of enchiladas. She walked in and set the bag down, immediately carving a path to the kitchen to begin the important task of trying to eat scraps of food before they were cooked, thusly interrupting the process of cooking altogether.

"I love enchiladas." She murmured, through a mouthful of shredded cheese. "But you knew that." Which was possibly why Cami decided to start making them, now that she was coming over.

Maebe just looked hungry. Small, and birdlike, she picked up another handful of cheese before Cami could shoo her away, if she chose to (which she should, otherwise the enchiladas were going to sadly lack in cheese). "How've you been?" Maebe muttered out, distracted by the sight of Cami from behind. It was too easy to allow herself to be distracted from what she'd come here to talk about.

Looking down at the dish of enchiladas as the cheese was stolen, she couldn't help but wonder if she'd made enough. Was Maebe still living in the dorms? Dorms meant unsteady supply of food. Mentally she was already working extra meals into her weekly schedule which, admittedly, was nothing but work and babysitting.

A rounded hip bumped the smaller woman to the side, towards the fridge. "Stay out of my enchiladas." Gone into full housewife mode she pulled homemade salsa out of the fridge, plunked it on the counter, and pulled a bag of chips from a cupboard. "Eat this."

The question was harder than the matter of disappearing cheddar. Chewing on her bottom lip the archer focused on the food for a long moment. It was so damned hard to talk about herself anymore. "I...uh. I'm working. Counseling. Initiating. Hunting." The words were lame, so very lame, and almost toneless but Cami didn't put much effort into really living anymore.

What was the point?

Maebe easily switched over to the chips and salsa, sitting down on a stool beside the counter and munching away. She watched Cami's face as she tried to sum up her current activities, and Maebe could hear the lack of enthusiasm in her words. Still, the words themselves reminded her of why she was here.

"I guess, that's why I needed to talk to you today, uh." Maebe ducked her head, and crunched chips in her hands. "Because of Taym."

She didn't know if Cami knew, so she nudged, waiting for some kind of clue.
