( He says that last with a hint of a laugh, before gesturing for Lockwood to join him in walking away from this coffin: from the building sensation he's noted and catalogued, used to the force of outside suggestions seeping into his consciousness and unconsciousness in this world.

Death, which he can agree on too. But he paces himself, as much as he paces along the shore, eyes flicking from one empty boat to another, keeping the crowd of mourners at their backs in such an angle that their mismatched expressions won't be so blindingly obvious as to merit emotional response. )
