Maea
If I could sing one last song
The sword went flying, and for one breathless instant she had her glaive pointed at his chest. Then Liam's hands came up and Maea backed up, grinning happily as she put the butt of the weapon to rest on the ground. "It would seem so. I've always wanted to try that move - bet I won't be able to do it to you twice though. You're really good." Not that she had doubted it - you didn't carry yourself with his kind of confidence without the skill to back it up - but experiencing it first hand drove it home in a whole new way.
Wiping a light beading of perspiration from her brow, a quick assessment told her she'd not exerted herself over much. Quite able to keep going, she cocked her head aside with a charming smile. "Looks like I owe you dinner, now. Did I tell you about the treasure trove I found stashed in a tree the other day..? We'll be able to splurge this time." Maea looked forward to finally repaying him for all his kindnesses. It was only a small thing, but it was the act of giving in itself that mattered. To know that she wasn't leeching off him, that whatever this was friendship, innit? it went both ways.

I'd make it a good one
