Tryin' to wash away all the blood I've spilt

Liam laughed affectionately as Maea nuzzled her way into his arms, shifting until she was once more in her Ancient form. "Of course," he said, as though it was unthinkable not to trust her. Talk of next time had him arching a brow, grinning down at her. "I'm just relieved there will be a next time. Now I don't have to go become an Attuned just to be able to fly with you." Not that he'd been seriously considering it; he wasn't sure how to be anything other than what he was, and was content with his own abilities, most days.

With an arm resting casually around Maea's shoulders, Liam joined the Ancient in surveying their surroundings. It was rocky and barren, a dry wind speeding through nooks and crannies that seemed to cover the area without providing any real shelter. Still, Maea had brought them here for a reason, so Liam had to trust that she knew something he didn't know.

Then, to their right, a dimple in the stone caught his eye. "There?" he asked, pointing it out. "That looks deep enough to be a cave."

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