He didn't intend to stumble upon the Regina, but her presence was a welcome one. He now found himself enjoying the company of both of them, not just as leaders, but as some sorta...friends.
It was the first time his face chalked up a smile within the past few days, too.
Thought they'd be good, uh, trinkets...totems, he said, glancing down at the skull he placed before her feet.
The shell lingered there, too, but he may have been...more than partial to keep that for himself. It would be up to the Regina, though.
Take my mind off of...everythin'.
