'Cause she's a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
And a bargain must be made
Liam had slipped into saying we and us without really thinking about the implications. Was he talking about Caido as a whole? The Greatwood? Or did he mean he and Maea? And if it was the latter, what did that mean, for either of them? Somehow, he’d gotten sucked into her quest - not through any fault of hers, but because he just couldn’t leave well enough alone now that there was something concrete he could do to help.
He would be the first to admit that he didn’t know their adversary well. He certainly hadn’t met any of them - except for that brief, unsettling encounter with Vox. He knew he needed to heed Maea’s advice, but it still chafed that there wasn’t more to be done. ”I suppose that’s true,” he admitted. It was disheartening, really, to be defeated before they had even begun to really fight back, just because somehow, the Family was always one step ahead of them.
”I wonder if there’s a way to block them?” Liam mused. If he had any relationship with the gods, he might ask one of them for help. As it was, he had no one and nothing to turn to - except for Maea, and anything she might know.

But oh, my love, don't forget me
When I let the water take me
When I let the water take me
