LIAM
It's not that we don't talk
Liam was unfamiliar with Halo, and therefore unfamiliar with the breath snatch. As a result, he walked right into it alongside Zavien. He might have gasped for breath, but it was so, so cold, and nothing happened for a moment; then he passed through the cloud, and warmer air flooded his lungs once more. The breath snatch wandered off, likely laughing to itself, and Liam watched it go, bemused and annoyed in equal measure.
But that didn't last long, for their conversation continued. And as time went on, and Liam grew more thoughtful, it became a little less awkward for the soldier. When Zavien admitted to not wanting to be a disappointment, Liam reached out to clap him on the shoulder. "I think a lot of us feel that way, the first time," he offered. "I wish there was some easy answer - do this and it's guaranteed to work - but... from what I understand, everyone is different. What one person enjoys might not be as pleasurable for someone else. If it makes you feel any better, the experimentation to figure out what you enjoy most - both as individuals and as a couple - is a lot of fun." After one got past the nerves, that is.

It's just no one really listens and honesty fades
