She really doesn't want him going out there on his own and it's there in her expression, clear as day: a wounded look in her eyes, fretful for him.

She knows so many people who disappeared and didn't come back. Is this what Thomas did? Did he go off into the wilds, without saying a word? Did he do it just so she wouldn't follow him, like she did the last time? She didn't even get to say goodbye.

She doesn't want to say goodbye, but she knows if she doesn't, she might not get another chance to. ]

I wish you didn't have to go. [ Her voice is quiet, and she does manage a smile even if it's a sad one. ] But... I guess an adventure out into the unknown's too big of a thing to give up for a ex-pirate, right?

[ It feels fitting, in a way. Doesn't it? ]

I could— I don't know how you feel about this sorta stuff, but— if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to pray for you? Would that be okay?
