[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

As Maea grabbed his hand, Liam had to fight the urge to pull her into his embrace; it wasn't safe out here, and with the smolder blossoms in hand, he'd likely end up more than a little burned, besides. Still, it was an effort to be mindful of such things when his partner was looking at him like that. Instead, he squeezed her hand before she went to retrieve the second chakram from the Lial's corpse. It took a few moments for Maea to free the disc with a rather disgusting squelching sound. She thumped into his chest, and he plucked the offered disc from her grasp with a smile. "Thank you," he told her, then pressed a quick kiss to her upturned lips.

Once he had both discs in hand, he considered the best course of action. He hated to hurt the gore crows - after all, they were just scavenging for a meal - and so his initial approach was to try to startle them into flight. Taking a step back, he lifted one of the chakram. Aiming carefully, he sent it flying through the air to thunk into the Lial - shaving a hair's breadth of feather from a gore crow's tail in the process. Hopefully that would be enough to send the bird flying. If not... well, he supposed he'd be lucky if they didn't simply turn and attack.

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