[He keeps Finn in his arms as he listens to the memory of a conversation that isn't his even if in a strange way it feels like it is right now. One hand rubs Finn's back as he holds him, and he hums quietly, more to himself than Finn. There's an indescribable peace he's always felt when a child in his arms and it's been so long since he's had the chance to hold one. (Not just any child though, one that holds a piece of his heart.)]
You'll be alright, Finn. [He says, adding his own voice to the conversation whether it'll make a difference or not. As he holds the boy, he moves through the forest until he comes upon a peaceful little stream. His eyes catch on movement in the water, and he raises his eyes in surprise at the sight of Jake sitting there. It only takes one glance over his shoulder to realize that Jake is only present in the reflection.]
You've been causing me quite a lot of trouble you know. [He says to the image of the dog, voice teasing despite it all.]
