'Cause she's a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
And a bargain must be made
It wasn’t that Liam though Maea or her contribution insignificant; it was simply meant as a reminder that while she might feel as though she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, she didn’t have to bear it alone. She shouldn’t have to, at any rate. The fact that she was out here trying her best to make amends for past failings spoke volumes to the dragoon, and for some reason he was determined that she should see it, too.
That she had had a companion shocked him rather less than the knowledge that she had died, and he stared at her in awe for a moment. He’d heard of such things, of course: whispers and rumors of those returned from the dead. But the enormity of what that might mean was more than Liam could comprehend at the moment, so he focused instead on the actual problem at hand.
”If someone else found a whole bushel of roses tomorrow,” he said. ”And you could no longer complete your quest… what would you do?” If she were to fail (not that he would agree it was a failure; it seemed like, at best, an unfair requirement from Torchline’s queen), would she rather be alone? Or would she rather have a chance as even a sliver of happiness, being reunited with her companion?

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