Liam's decision promised to put an end to that incredibly long, complicated day. He only had to wait for the Elder to retrieve the actual martial arts before being free to return to his cave.
However, when Liam reached his cave with the small wooden container safely in his hands, he found a familiar figure sitting before its entrance, telling him that his day wasn't over yet.
"Lucy," Liam called, forgetting about the Sect's honorifics due to all the mental burden that day had provided.
"May we talk?" Lucy asked, her tone timid but pleading as she stood up.
Truth be told, Liam was beyond confused. He was still absorbing that day's revolutionary and heartbreaking discoveries, so he had no idea how to face or approach Lucy.
Yet, Liam wasn't good with that complicated stuff, and the only one he knew who could help him sort through that mess of thoughts was Lucy herself, making him desire to have that confrontation.
