Maea
give me shelter, or show me heart
Scanning the edges of the pools for any sign of vegetation, she hummed in acknowledgement. That sense of looking upon a precious thing might be the key, whether it stemmed from a rare glimpse of gold or something less mundane.
"Guess we can only do what we've been doing all this time, and search," Maea concluded. On impulse she ducked beneath the surface again to scan the bottom of the hot spring. Minerals stung her eyes, and she caught an eyeful of long well-muscled legs sprawling from Liam's direction, but aside from the occasional cluster of algea there wasn't much of anything to see.
Resurfacing to catch her breath, Maea sighed and found a ledge of her own to rest her head on. A certain awkwardness had crept into their otherwise easy silence, and she didn't know what to do with it. Or if there was anything to do. Though she tried, relaxation wouldn't set in fully.

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