[SE] Ignore all the burdens that you keep

Tryin' to wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share

The Climb was, as always, suffocatingly hot, though Liam was starting to get used to the heat. He'd been here so often now with Maea that it was almost comforting, and as they stepped off the skyship, he reached up to tie his hair back from his face and off his neck. Despite his short-sleeved attire, he knew he would probably be sweating shortly, and he would be more comfortable if hair wasn't sticking to his skin.

With the departure of the Family, Liam once more found himself in limbo. He'd spent so long in the Greatwood, rudderless and alone, and now he felt similarly unmoored. Where he found solace, though, was in Maea's presence - which, for all they had disagreed about the Family, had remained steadfast. 

Their skyship was still shrinking in the sky when the Ancient's smile made Liam's heart do a funny little flip, and he returned it without a second thought. "Hmm," he said thoughtfully, looking around. "Is there anything exciting that way?" The soldier pointed away from the Burrows and out along the surface. "We usually go towards Frey's Breath. I don't know that I've spent much time on the Crust before."

Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
