// won't you breathe with me? //
The season had changed. Somewhere else it would be noticeable, but the Climb was forever sweltering. The only difference was a refreshing breeze that occasionally parted curtains of volcanic haze to reveal a harsh landscape, rugged and majestic. Always changing, ever shifting, it made sense for this to be the Ruby Goddess' favored domain.
The skyship they had arrived on was still shrinking into the horizon when Maea turned to her companion with a lopsided smile. "That's that... which way do we go? You choose this time." It was the least she could do after dragging him all the way out here. Wanting to stay in the Climb for a while yet not wishing to be alone meant compromising - she just hoped Liam wasn't forcing himself to be here. That would defeat the whole point of 'getting away from everything and just be', as she'd been whining about.
