Tearen frowned slightly as Essent turned these thoughts over. Though her mind had temporarily become occluded to surface skimming, the cloudy gloom surrounding her thoughts was pretty self-evident. When she spoke up again, he decided to append his previous statement.
"Before I answer that Essent, I need you to know that no damage you may cause by telling people your knowledge of them is irreparable. I'm just saying that you need to practice some basic social grace, for example..." Tearen rolled his eyes as he tried to think of a suitable human metaphor.
"...If you met a celebrity you were fond of, but they were surrounded by a controversy, you wouldn't nag them about it, would you?" he finished, satisfied that this was a suitable response. He could feel the clouds around Essent's emotions lift slightly. She simply mumbled something in reply as she fiddled with her phone. When Tearen had come across her dataverse posts about an hour ago, he had been bemused, but this was the first time she had done something dangerous. The Shadow's right eye twitched involuntarily as he observed her take a picture of herself in front of the gate to the fields.
"Essent, I hate to keep talking down to you, but you should really avoid being so forward about your location in the Omniverse. There are a multitude of Primes who would hunt you down and kill you, or worse, just for the fun of it."
"...worse?" she said, turning around with a wide-eyed expression. Tearen pinched his nose slightly before smiling at her.
"Maybe I'm being dramatic, but the principle is the same. As long as I'm with you, I'll make sure no one harms you, but as a fresh Prime, you need to be careful. Yeah?"
Essent nodded slowly. Tearen decided to change the subject.
"...anyway, my friend's name is Jade Harley. I left by adopted daughter with her and her dog Becquerel while I was...away." Tearen said hesitantly. He didn't want to go into the horrors of the Underverse just yet with Essent. Some things were better left for a slow introduction.

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
