Maeve moves a little closer again, moving to pull Ruby into the hug because she needs it more than anyone in this moment and Maeve's...well, there is quite a lot of emotion on her part. "Yes, darling. Nothing could have been done about it." She's not upset about being killed. She's died so many times already that...it hardly matters. It's the cruelty here that it had to be Ruby that did it.

"I'm sorry you had to do that," she says, arms holding Ruby as tight as she dares. "You did what you had to. No one would ever fault you for that." If she ever meets the woman that was inside of her, she'll rip her to shreds. Slowly. Meticulously. There were ways to cauterize wounds on the ship to keep them from bleeding out entirely.
