'Cause she's a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
And a bargain must be made
Although it hadn’t been exactly what Liam had meant, he waited patiently while Maea reasoned through her dilemma. ”There are all kinds of ways to be useful,” he pointed out. ”Even a small gesture can be useful to someone.” In other words, Maea didn’t have to save the world. Perhaps simply living a good life, in which one was kind to others, was enough.
At least, he hoped so. It was certainly enough to make him feel fulfilled.
But Maea seemed to come to a decision, and Liam certainly wasn’t one to try and influence others one way or another - particularly someone he’d just met. Even if Maea did feel like an old friend, this was her choice and hers alone. ”At least now you’re aware that it might be an option. Perhaps now isn’t the right time, but that won’t always be the case.” She’d either succeed or fail in her quest - and nothing but luck would determine which would prove to be true - but there was life left to life in the after, and something told him that Maea wouldn’t be content to sit still for long, no matter what happened.

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