"Sounds like a plan." Assuming that others had entered the springs and emerged unscathed, Liam stood, turning to give Maea some privacy. There was something intimate about watching someone undress - even just down to a bathing suit - and he hurriedly pulled off his own shirt, kicked off his shoes, and slipped into the water.
It was warm, but not as blisteringly hot as he'd anticipated. In fact, it felt quite nice against muscles that he hadn't quite realized were sore. Stifling a groan, he sank down far enough that he could lean his head against the edge, closing his eyes to soak in the pleasant warmth. "If I fall asleep, try not to let me drown?" he asked Maea, cracking one eye open and offering a lazy half-smile. It was, perhaps, the most carefree he'd been in some time, even after having met Maea, and there was a flicker of something charming beneath the surface that spoke to the man he might have been once, before tragedy struck.
But if he were to drift off into oblivion, he'd be poor company, so he glanced around, taking in the sights of the cavern and trying dutifully to ignore the fact that Maea was half-naked beside him. "So it's lilies that are supposed to grow here, right?" he asked. Having never seen one of Rae's Lilies before, he supposed he was at a bit of a disadvantage in comparison to their hunt for Vi's Roses.

Is here in my arms
