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

Maea’s laughter brought a grin to Liam’s face; he loved making her laugh, hearing the brightness that echoed in the gloom, more brilliant than any lantern. In truth, it wouldn’t take much from her to break his resolve - a few more well-placed kisses, perhaps, or more of that teasing tone of voice - so he was both disappointed and relieved when silence reigned for a few more moments, until Maea’s voice invited him to turn around.
He was unprepared for her appearance: clad in a pale blue shift that fell to her knees, and in the process of toweling off her pale hair, there was something entirely domestic about the bizarre situation in which they found themselves - like this might have been a home they shared, and this might have been any given day of the week. It did funny things to his heart. Realizing belatedly that he was staring, Liam swallowed hard and moved towards the pool.
”My turn,” he said, kneeling to dip a finger into the water, which was just as chilly as Maea had warned. If he weren’t dirty and covered in blood, he might have gone to her instead, but seeing how clean and lovely she now looked only served to remind him that he was certainly not. ”I’ll be quick,” he added before standing to shuck off his soiled shirt, waiting for Maea to turn around before disrobing further.

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