[SE] So many things I need to say to you

LIAM

Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine

Fear was a funny thing, impossible to rid oneself of when it really mattered. Still, it was something that Liam had been trained to ignore, and so he tucked away the icy shiver of dread that ran down his spine and focused his attention instead on his partner and her quest. "I love you, too."

And then she was gone, creeping down the hill. The soldier watched her for a moment before following, cutting a different angle towards the slumbering beast that lay near the lava. He had just gotten into place when the Lial stirred, waking with a furious rumble and turning to look angrily around; Shii flared on Liam's shoulder, signaling him to get to work.

Now there was no room for fear. There was only a cool calculation. Liam rushed to close the distance between himself and the Lial just enough to be in range with the chakrams. Careful of his step on the rough terrain - and mindful of the lava pits nearby - he yelled out a brief, "Hey!" to get the creature's attention. Once it faced him, he took one of the chakrams and flung it directly at the Lial's head.

Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight
