Truth be told, Liam shouldn't be so surprised that there were folk mad enough to make a living from the desert. After all, wasn't the Greatwood just as wild, these days, albeit perhaps a bit less inherently dangerous? And there he was, eking out a living as best he could alongside his partner. Surely there were people in all of the Wilds, not just those areas that used to be something, a long time ago.
"Sounds like you've got it all figured out," Liam said, sounding impressed in spite of himself. He might have toyed with the idea of leadership in the Greatwood, but this... this was a plan, and one that had been well thought out, by the sound of it. He'd often thought he wasn't cut out for leadership, but this conversation was only solidifying it for him.
He was surprised to recognize all of the names Colt tossed out - including, he realized with a jolt, Jesse. Wren.
If he wasn't interested in joining up before, he certainly was now. "Zavien and Sohalia are good assets to have on your side," he observed. "Good people, and experience with running a region, if you're looking for that. I've met Jesse, and Noe - that's Koa Carpenter's sister, right?" Cresting the top of the hill, he paused, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably. This wasn't the kind of decision he should make without consulting Maea, but...
"You know, if you're collecting strays," he commented almost idly. "You might have found two more. My partner and I - we've been in the Greatwood for a while, but the Fae are less than thrilled to have us there. She's an Ancient, so the desert might suit her. And I'm getting into carpentry, since I'm not a soldier anymore. Maybe I could help you build some things." He grinned suddenly. "Might be nice to be back among the Breakers. It's been a couple years."
