Who was it that led you on
And makes you want to hurt me so?
And makes you want to hurt me so?
"Aside from the fact that you're beautiful?" Liam asked, quirking a brow at Maea playfully. "There's no need to apologize - I was staring. I think - if I remember correctly - I think you were the first Ancient I'd ever seen." He flushed as he said it, fully aware of how rude it sounded in retrospect. "It was terribly rude of me," he added, reaching to rub the back of his neck. "I'm sorry." What an impression he'd made. At least now he'd gotten a second chance with which to prove he wasn't a complete ass.
Maea shifted, slipping her arm around his chest, and Liam began to trace small patterns upon her back with a fingertip. It was peaceful here, with night falling in the forest outside, and the soldier felt far more at ease than he had of late. "You could be in charge of something here," he said. "The Greatwood is basically a blank slate at this point. Whatever you want - you could build it. I'll help, however I can." Whatever she wanted, whatever she needed; if it was in his power to assist, he would.
Liam leaned his head back against the couch, relaxing further into the cushions. In truth, he wasn't sure why he'd asked the question outside of simple curiosity, and it took him a moment to find an answer of his own. He'd spent so long living one day at a time, and it had been only recently that he'd started to look forward again - longer still since he'd considered what he might do with his time if he had the opportunity. "I think I'd like to learn to build things," he said finally. "Carpentry and such. I've never had the chance to try it, but..." He shrugged. "There's something about creating something new that just sounds rewarding."
