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
For a moment, Liam thought she might be too far for him to reach, even as he stretched out as far as he could - but then, with her surging upward and him giving one last reach, their hands collided, and he gripped hers tightly before beginning to pull her up.
He was wildly glad, for a brief moment, that he'd kept up with his workouts during his self-imposed exile into the wilderness, for if he hadn't, he might not have had the strength to do this, and Maea might have fallen into the river below. There were enough dangers lurking in the water to want to spare her that fate, even without knowing of an Ancient's susceptibility to cold.
Hoisting her up with one hand was a challenge, even with his strength, and as soon as he had wriggled back far enough to balance without sending them both over the edge, he reached to strengthen his grip with a second hand. It wasn't long, thankfully, before her head cleared the edge, and a shorter time still until he'd pulled her over the side.

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
