[ME] [SE] [o] It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life

And I can still see it all In my mind
All of you, all of me Intertwined

Liam was not offended in the least by Nova's lack of acknowledgement; he barely knew the girl, and besides that, this was Maea 's night, not his. Another girl - whose name he didn't know, but whose face he remembered from his luxere hunt in Halo - arrived next, and he nodded cordially to her. Again, tonight wasn't about him, so he was more than content to allow Maea her time in the spotlight. He'd never been one to want to be the center of attention, anyway.

It wasn't until his lover nestled into his arms that he smiled and turned his attention to her question. "Only if you want to," he murmured in return. "I certainly don't want to keep it a secret, but it seems a shame to take attention away from you and everything you've done to make the treehouse what it is today." After all, Liam had only been the willing muscle for the addition that Maea had drawn up and directed them in creating, and although the soldier had brought over what belongings he wanted to keep, this still felt like a celebration of Maea. And he didn't want to detract from that, unless it was an announcement that she was sure she wanted to make.

I once believed love would be Black and white
But it's golden
