Tearen and Malon shuffled through the underbrush at a comparatively breakneck pace, trying to leave behind the charred remains of B7 behind as quickly as possible. Malon clutched the Syntech package in both arms, like a suckling babe, despite repeated attempts on Tearen's part to encourage the use of her knapsack. He could feel swirls of anxiety and panic at the fringes of her mind, but Malon was objective oriented to a fault. Right now their objective was to reach the safehouse before their collars finished what Illidan and Gildarts had started.
He'd extended an invitation for the Sage and the little bug to rest with them at the Safehouse, but the pair had vanished into the bush as quickly as they had come. The Shadow dearly hoped that they would; it would help attract more visitors to the telling of his Underverse story. On that note, Malon piped up for the first time since their withdrawal.
"Tearen...what...was that?" the farmhand murmured. Tearen didn't say anything at first, and right at that moment, the Primes emerged once again into the vast swath of felled lumber. The elder Prime beckoned Malon closer, and allowed a small bolus of soothing light to swirl out of his palm. Under normal circumstances, Malon would have been mortified to have a man lift her shirt without asking, but it wasn't very far and he was focused on her back. As the ex-enigma let the healing energies seep into the deep flesh-wound, he considered the girl's question.
"I guess that depends on what you experienced." Tearen said softly as the swollen and bruised gash began to heal. Malon half-sat on a damp stump whose inner wood still held a rosey color.
"...it was like...my whole head opened up, and let the world funnel in. It was like having a map of everything, but with no legend or labels..." Malon mused. Satisfied that the bleeding had been stemmed, Tearen gave her space to fix her outfit.
"Yes, well. I suppose that when two Primes fuse, their minds share certain aspects."
Malon nodded slowly before standing back up and adjusting her backpack. If that had only been an aspect of Tearen's mind...
...what must it be like to live with the full assembly?

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
