Why do you stay until you see blood?
Why does the weight fall upon us?

Despite Liam's best efforts, the fire threatened to spread. It was simply too dry, and the various plants that called the Greatwood home were going up like tinder. He continued to work, ignoring the molten tiger - at least until the flames fled from beneath his bucket of water, dragged towards the Ancient who now sat where the tiger had been moments before - an Ancient who he, unfortunately, recognized.
Myriad emotions ripped through his system. Shock, because he hadn't thought she'd dare to show her face here, of all places; anger, for all she'd put him through, and for daring to set his forest on fire. But beneath all that, there was confusion, too, because if she'd been infected, then she'd been just as unaware of what she'd been doing as he had been. And wasn't she trying to help now, by controlling the fire that threatened to spread around the Mathair and beyond?
So for now, he paused, bucket in hand, and simply watched, waiting to see whether she would make this situation better or worse with whatever control she had over the flames.
