Hushed Willows [festival] if my heart were a turntable

Gannet hadn't expected Charon to approach, let alone talk to him. He wasn't bothered by it, just watched curiously as he came. Gannet didn't read his agitation and was simply affable and silent.

His smile faded though when Charon asked why he hadn't come back, because finally he noticed that the other man was upset. His frown was slight and confused. You didn't need me, he said simply, his head tilting. It might have been more correct, in his meaning, to say 'want', but the two were similar to him. Everything he remembered about Moonspear had led him to believe he was simply tolerated, and being allowed to depart had made him understand that his debt had been paid. Aside from still needing to go visit Hydra, he'd assumed the rest content with his decision not to return.
