Liam
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
Liam's grief, such as it was, was measured and controlled - nothing like that of those who had actually lived in Stormbreak for the past few years. The city might have been where Liam was born, where he'd grown up, where he'd had some of the best and worst times of his life - but it was history now, a past that he rarely returned to save to treasure those he'd lost. His home was the Greatwood, in his spot beside Maea, and despite everything he'd endured, he was happy.
Vesper's light admission caught Liam off guard again - the man was certainly full of surprises - and he paused for a moment, as though expecting the young man to share a punchline or laugh off the strange, seemingly random comment. When no such thing was forthcoming, Liam took a breath. "The Greatwood is no easy place to rule," he warned. "I've been here long enough to know how hard it is to organize any kind of government and keep it in power. The Fae are a challenge to work with at the best of times, and the forest itself will work against you if you aren't careful." Not to mention that Vesper hadn't been here long enough to understand the ins and outs of the region - or to care what was truly best for the forest and its inhabitants. "My partner and I have thought about ruling," he added carefully. "But there are so few people here that it seems almost... pointless. We'd be ruling just for the sake of it, not for any real purpose."

And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
You don't wanna know me now
