Liam
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
Maea must have understood the concern beneath his query, because suddenly she was opening up and sharing her reason - her real reason - for being here on a fool’s errand. For as much as he assured her that they would find the Roses, if they were blooming, how could they be sure that they still existed at all? Perhaps with the Family’s rise to power, anything with the ability to fight them had been snuffed out.
It seemed cruel to Liam, denying a person a place to stay because of their past mistakes, especially when it seemed clear enough to Liam that Maea wanted to atone. Why else would she be here, combing the woods and the riverbanks and the village, searching for the likes of which he hadn’t seen in three years?
He paused before responding, though, in part because he wasn’t sure what to say, and in part because he wanted to give Maea’s story the consideration that it deserved. When he did speak, it was in a voice devoid of pity, for he wouldn’t have wanted to be the recipient of that, in her shoes. ”It’s brave if you to try and make amends,” he said at last. ”I’ve known far too many people too stubborn or afraid to do so when they’ve wronged someone. It’s admirable.”

And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
You don't wanna know me now
You don't wanna know me now
