Tearen scoffed and plopped a heavy hand on Jade's crown.
"Slow your tears kiddo, ya barely know me." he said with a quaint smile. Jade blinked up at him with dewy eyes and a confused frown. That was...sort of true? She supposed? She understood that Tearen was just trying to dull the pain of his departure, but this was a pretty silly way of doing it. Regardless, the eldritch human fluffed his robes and sighed, producing a large stuffed crow from under the heavy brown rags. Rebecca's eyes lit up, despite their persistent glow, as Tearen handed the plush bird to her. She hugged it tight and he wondered just what her perception of this situation was. Would she always be expecting him to come back, or would her memory of him fade with time? The ex-enigma considered, for a fleeting moment, just pulling all memories of him from Rebecca's mind completely, but decided against it. The strings of her psyche has been plucked enough for one lifetime. Better to retire the pizzicato charade than take the easy road from guilt.

And, we dream of home I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
