Shadowwyn Moor he's got eyes, but he can't see

she seemed unconvinced, terance could tell. her wry expression and vague choice of words-- perhaps as vague as his-- didn't slip past him. but terance didn't have anything more to say on the matter. he didn't have a solid grasp on how he felt about anything-- just that he wasn't going to let his world crumble away as fast as it was trying to. rannoch was currently the last solid piece of earth that he stood on, and that was what was keeping him together-- for the most part. he'd made a conscious effort not to let himself slip.

so even if rannoch did, terance would not fall down the same rabbit hole he had when he'd been hurt by the bear-- when lyra confessed she did not have the same feelings for him-- when rannoch had asked him to leave moonspear-- when he and hydra had fought-- when they'd fought again-- when seabreeze left with both children-- when they'd blamed their leave on him-- when he and seabreeze fought-- when wraen announced she'd leave-- when maia ultimately said she'd follow... terance would not be hurt again. 

he gave her a wry smile. "oh, i doubt it," he replied as politely as he could, "but they might visit from time to time."
