[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

Perhaps some would have taken Maea’s advice as inserting herself where she wasn’t needed, but to Liam, it was like a breath of fresh air. He smiled at her sweetly, nudging her nose with his own. ”Wise words,” he said. Hadn’t the Greatwood taught him the very same thing? That the journey could sometimes be long and winding, but so long as one persevered to their destination, things would work themselves out?

Speaking of the Greatwood, Liam hummed thoughtfully. ”I thought about going back to Stormbreak,” he admitted, hesitant. This was the one topic they didn’t quite agree on, and he didn’t want to break the spell they were under by bringing it up. But since she’d asked… ”Before the Family left.” It seemed like both yesterday and a lifetime ago. ”But… Stormbreak isn’t my home anymore.” It was strange and liberating to say that out loud, after so long of wondering if he hadn’t just run away from his problems. But it was true - he’d found the place where he belonged. Doubly so, since Maea was there. But even without his partner, the Greatwood was still where he wanted to return to, time and again.

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