And makes you want to hurt me so?

Perhaps Liam had jumped to conclusions, or perhaps he hadn't thought things all the way through. As Maea explained further what she'd meant, he softened, laying an arm along the back of the couch and laying his fingertips gently against her shoulder. "Fair enough," he said. "I'm sorry. I wasn't understanding what you meant. But Maea - I'm still me. I haven't been asked to do anything, and I haven't been - I don't know - forced into anything against my will." He paused, thinking. "I honestly don't know what I have to offer the Family, but I know that by being their Friend, I'm protected. Perhaps I'm the one taking advantage."
Maea's tail settled against his leg. He didn't move away; if anything, he settled further, determined not to let their differences drive a wedge between them. Her question was one that had him gazing off into space, trying to ignore the urge to respond quickly and force himself to really think through a response. "I don't feel like I'm being compelled," he said finally. "Wouldn't I know, if I wasn't able to say no? And, like I said - they haven't asked for anything."
