[ Algric stews in his silence for a moment. The Lonely whispers to him, telling him that he should leave now, or risk being Seen. Just - disappear entirely. He doesn't need any of them, does he? He'd fed on Fisher just fine without even needing to. He could just wander the streets alone, caring about no one and nothing, drifting about and occasionally sending a statement Jonah's way about a shade that stared at them with hollow eyes and made them remember why no one loved them...
But. Then he feels it. That little wisp of loneliness coming off Jonah already. How much would he hurt Jonah doing it? How much is he hurting him already? And - over what? Algric desperately fears having this part of him be seen, but ... doesn't that just let his mum hurt him one last time?
He slumps forward, head bowed. Back still turned away from Jonah. ]
