Maybe it was just the trauma he'd experienced that drove him to be so protective, to be so hard on himself when his perception of his own capabilities were skewed. And perhaps that was just what they were now. Hadn't he, after all, managed to take out two of the fyrhund pack? Was he stronger than he gave himself credit for, but so emotionally scarred that he couldn't quite see it?
Swallowing hard, Liam shook his head. "This - just being here - this is enough," he said. Her presence in his arms was grounding, rooting him thoroughly in this moment and chasing the haunting cobwebs from his mind. "If something like this happens again... I just need to be able to reassure myself that you're safe." He ran his fingers through a few strands of Maea's still-drying hair, admiring the silkiness of it. "That we're together." To be able to remind himself that they would be still, even in the aftermath of such a harrowing ordeal.

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