Tryin' to wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
This lust is a burden that we both share
As their friendship had grown, Liam had come to treasure the fact that Maea would trust him in such a way, and he knew that she would indeed ask if there was anything he could do. So, too, was he glad that she felt she could talk to him - because the reverse was certainly true, and if he could rely on her, he hoped that she could return the favor.
The cavern opened up to the springs, revealing a dimly lit collection of pools upon which floated various aquatic flora that were capable of withstanding the heat. Perhaps, if he visited frequently enough, Liam would begin to build up a resistance to the temperature, as well. In truth, the cave system leading to Frey's Breath was worse than the hot springs themselves, which were actually somewhat pleasant, and now that they'd arrived there, Liam could breathe a little easier - at least until it was time to return home.
The soldier held up a hand solemnly. "I promise," he said, his voice teasing and his eyes dancing. "I will not faint and leave you to drag me out by my feet." Although, frankly, the mental image was an amusing one, even if he had no intentions of seeing it come to fruition.
Liam followed Maea to the edge of the pool, careful to avoid the tail that whipped excitedly behind her. He settled into a crouch beside her, keeping watch over the cavern, content to sit in silence until her task was complete.

Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
