All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever needed
Liam could understand well enough, given that he wasn’t sure what thriving looked like for him, either. Maybe that was just life, and they were all trying to figure it out one step at a time. Maea’s description of passion had him smiling, swamped with a sudden nostalgia. What she described had been him, once upon a time, in an age that felt so distant that it might hardly have existed at all. When he’d been young and carefree, without any of the guilt and loss that seemed to have haunted him all these years.
”I’m… not sure,” Liam admitted. ”I thought, when I left Stormbreak, that maybe I could find peace somewhere else. And I suppose I did, in a way, at least until the Void came to the Greatwood. But… peace with no one to share it with…” He trailed off, shrugging. He’d become lonely, he realized, more so than he’d even admitted to himself. ”I suppose… I’d like to have friends. I think I’ve realized that life is better with people you care about. And I need to be able to make a difference, somehow. I’m just not sure what that looks like yet.” Whether he wanted to be a soldier again, or if there were other ways to use his talents - who was a to say what the future held?

Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary; they can only do harm
