'Cause she's a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
And a bargain must be made
Maea’s quiet thanks was accepted with a silence not born of discomfort, but of acceptance. From what little she had told him, he’d already surmised that perhaps she didn’t have people to make her feel welcome and looked after. He wouldn’t press her. He would simply be here, should she decide to take him up on his offer.
He moved on to discussions about more mundane things, and soon Maea had returned to her usual self. ”Spring’s my favorite, I think. All seasons have their charms, but there’s something about new growth that can’t be found outside of Flowerbirth,” he said conversationally before taking another sip of water. The news that she could literally turn to stone, though, gave him pause. So the other day, when she’d nearly fallen into the river - she could have actually turned to stone? The Stone Symphony was certainly still frigid this early in the season, and knowing that… it made him all the more glad he’d been with her that day. ”So… that’s why Torchline, then.” It made sense, suddenly, why she was determined to make her home somewhere warm.
As for hunting, he nodded. ”Sure, we can. Don’t feel like we have to, though; I can make do, and I don’t want to distract you.” It might be challenging to track and hunt while also keeping an eye out for roses. If they were on a casual search, perhaps it would be different, but with so much hanging in the balance, Liam didn’t want to detract from Maea’s quest.

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