Remembering what we have lost

Even if Liam can no longer see the pages he still loves books and, by extension, the libraries they're kept in. He trails one hand along the spines of the books on the shelf, smelling the familiar scent of leather and old paper. As he makes his way along the aisle his cane taps the base of the bookcase, letting him know it's still there. Every few steps he makes a sweep in front of himself if case of obstacles.

Distracted by the books he hasn't noticed he's no longer alone.

Break isn't sure what that means. He's close enough now to see the dark patch on the left side of Liam's face, but he can't tell if the remaining eye is focused on him or not - and he can't see colors, only shades of light and grey.

He gets even closer, talking the whole time, as much to test Liam's reaction as to see him better. He never has had much respect for the concept of personal space, anyway.

"Oh, is that so? Did you do something reckless, Mister Liam? In my world, you're the sensible one and I'm the one to be reckless, or so my own Liam is always telling me!"

Break walks right up to Liam's hand, stopping when it touches his chest and putting his own hand over it so Liam won't back away.

Then he pulls a stupid face, just as his Liam did to him when he realized Break could barely see anymore. After that, his face goes very grim in a way that would surely make any Liam flinch, if he could see it. His voice is deceptively mild.

"If your Break is the cause of you losing your sight, I would rather be someone else entirely than be associated with him."

He stares, going very still, thinking this through for a moment.

"The Will? He asked her to bring you back?"

He's not shocked that it happened or even that it was necessary, only that it worked. He still has horrible dreams of finding out that Fang was right and his Liam really was dead after all. He might well have made the same request of her at the time, except he knew better than to try that.

"That is certainly less harsh a payment than I would have expected, unless Alyss is a very different girl in your world."

"Ah, is that it? 'Be careful what you wish for' is a lesson well learned when dealing with the Will of the Abyss. Even she can't give something for nothing, though, I suppose."

Break would question whether anyone who had been through the Abyss could be considered sane.

He lightly squeezes Liam's hand.

"He succeeded, did he? Good to know." Especially if that meant he also was able to save this Liam's life, even at that cost.
