LIAM
It's not that we don't talk
Liam looked at Maea dubiously - not because he disagreed, but because he wasn't sure where there was to hide in the vast labyrinth of tunnels. They could, he supposed, pick one to follow and hope that any pursuers picked another, but that seemed like an option based on luck rather than any sort of skill. Not to mention that getting lost down here might be a death sentence - especially given the water marks on the walls that indicated just how high the water would get when the tide came in.
Maea's favorite spot took Liam by surprise, though he wasn't sure why. He'd just assumed that it would be somewhere warm, or at least comfortable. Still, he nodded at her explanation. He'd always wanted to see the lights that lit the tundra skies, but he'd yet to have the chance. "It sounds beautiful, when you describe it." Cold, but beautiful. As for the Cordillera: "You know, when I was younger, I was content in Stormbreak. But now I think I'd like to see the Cordillera, eventually."
The tunnel narrowed to a squeeze, and Liam met Maea's gaze as the Ancient pressed through the opening. When it was Liam's turn, he had a bit more of a struggle; the rock caught at his clothes, and he had to stop to wriggle free a fair few times before he made it to the other side. To hide a shudder at the thought of getting stuck, he continued talking. "I think... my favorite spot is the Falling in Stormbreak. I always used to go to watch the sunset, and I'd think that there was no place more beautiful than the edge of the world." He laughed. "The edge of my world, anyway."

It's just no one really listens and honesty fades
