MAEA
Oh, how she wished him to protest a bit louder. It was a quest and she had to complete it, but that didn't mean she wanted to. Or that she was ready to face this trial. Stalling, Maea fished through her pockets with one hand, torn between immense gratitude for the man's support and a wild impulse to kick his shin for the same.
"Could you... uh... come with me? I have this Cloud Manta crystal - " finally finding it, she offered a round gem tied into a necklace that would keep it flush against the throat, allowing him to breathe under water, "If you could stay behind me, to help if something goes wrong...?" It felt like asking too much, and yet she couldn't think of anyone else who she'd rather trust her life to. Liam had saved it once before, he would do it again if necessary. Not that it would be - she was going to do this swiftly and accurately and emerge on the other side in one piece - but nevertheless. Having him at her back made her feel safe. And just a little bit brave.
