Liam was fumbling about, his padded hands attempting to find the lighter that he'd put in his rucksack. There was so much stuff in there that it was making it hard for him to find anything at all. His medical supplies – he should have left them at Chien Hotel – were taking up most of the space. He had grabbed the gauze and was looking into its many cracks to see if the rusty item hadn't gotten wedged somewhere when he caught the smell of a newcomer and then heard its approaching footsteps. He was caught off guard and instantly got into a defensive position so he didn't have the chance to actually realize he knew this person and would probably trust her with his life if they were to fight again. After all, she had probably trusted him and Robin with hers that day.
It was only when he finally heard her voice that he loosened up, a sigh escaping his lips. His bi-colored eyes rested on the white frame that was now clearly visible. She looked good – sure, battle hadn't done her justice but at least she was walking and talking. He himself still had a couple wounds that hadn't fully healed yet but for the most part he didn't feel any of them. His shoulder was perhaps the only one that was still a little visible. It had been a pretty shallow wound but during the second raid in Aniwaya he'd made it twice as bad. Another week though and everything would be healed – he'd be good as new. He really couldn't wait for that day to come. Finally he wouldn't have any more memories of that awful war on his person and he could finally start to move on! Hey Ayasha! I'm surprised to see you around here this late! he stated with enthusiasm, hoping that she hadn't noticed his momentary freak out.
After giving her a tiny smile he went and looked for his lighter again, finding it half a minute later. He couple rocks together to form a circle and dumped some of the twigs at the tree's bottom into the middle. What are you doing here anyway? he asked curiously, the newly lit fire growing in size to the point where Ayasha's white fur had a orange-y pink hue from his point of view near the earthy ground.
