" he'd think to blackbeard, to the harsher side to his words. there was no apology for them, he spoke as openly as he always had, it meant no one could accuse him of being a facade version of himself. " so i'll leave, love and you'll miss me because most do. most can't help it but the sun will rise again, just as certain as the storm will turn the sea wild. "
he presses a hand to their cheek, a gentle touch in what was often a very contradicting way. " goodbye for now. "
