I don't approve Maya joining Tatenashi. Also, serves as Pet the Dog moment (even though Maya never did anything bad, it's a plus) and how Maya really cared about him.
Maybe it's depends of the situation, normally Maya will let Tatenashi (again, not JOINING), but since Irish is crying (cause being a Butt Monkey, he'll snap sooner or later) boost her instinct surrogate mother.
You have problem with mushy romance? I'm here for ya.
