can't know if you don't go

Maea

give me shelter, or show me heart

Catching herself with a tender smile on her lips, she hastily tore her gaze  off the former soldier and blinked at the water. Was she to be the judge if what he could withstand? Maea found the temperature to be quite perfect, but she'd also recline within a lavapool if given the chance, so perhaps it wouldn't be helpful to say anything. "Why don't you try it for a while?" she suggested instead. "I can heal you up if anything boils off..."

Digging into her satchel for a towel, she fully intended to relax for a while herself. Despite that, she felt very self-conscious about undressing in the presence of anyone, let alone Liam; having a perfectly decent bathing suit meant nothing when just taking her shirt off had color flushing across her face. And Maea had no excuse, given the alledged fire resistence; she was just plain embarrassed as she turned her back to the man, hastily shimmied out of the layers and hastened to get into the water. A glimpse of ivory skin untouched by pigmentation could be seen, and the full length of a slim, very agile tail against powder blue swimwear - then water sloshed over the rim, splashing rock walls and glittering in the dim light as Maea sank down to her shoulders, heart pounding uselessly in her ears.

watch me fall apart
and I'll be yours to keep
