Something changed again, but never having been exposed to someone that could influence thoughts and actions, he still doesn't recognize the loss of Fazia's mental connection. As his crazed laughter trails off, he realizes that someone else is nearby and unless he is very much mistaken, they had also been laughing (at him or with him.. who knows?)
Odd.
He lifts his head to scan the area and he is quick to locate Fazia, as she is already approaching him. He has only a moment to begin processing her appearance, which is somehow familiar, before her question causes his face to flame with embarrassment. Naturally, there had to be a witness to his misfortune. His first instinct is to avert his gaze, and he nearly does, until something clicks into place.
Her eyes—wholly black, except for the swaths of silver at their centers, they are exactly like his father's. This eases his anxiety a bit and he offers her a small smile.
“Sure. Bit more surprised than hurt, I suppose.” He knows he's staring longer and harder than he should, but he can't quite help himself. She's the first Baltian he's come across since finding Beqanna and he's not quite sure how he feels about it, but he can't really see any harm in engaging further.
“Name's Eddie,” he pauses, curiosity in his icy blue eyes as he tilts his head toward the open sea. “I was just headed in, if you're interested.”
