[ Look, Eddie could come up with a million things on the flyâŚbut yeah, they I>do all require the use of a guitar, so maybe heâd be struggling as well. ]

[ He lets out a little yelp as the Lyhos pokes its head into the bushes and shuffles as far backward from it as he can without dropping Teddyâs hand. Okay, okay, he mumbles under his breath, trying to calm himself once more. Eventually, however, he takes a deep breath, opens his mouth, and takes over for Teddy. ]

[ Heâs no Paul Simon, and heâs definitely no Art Garfunkel. His voice has a little too much metal and rasp to make the song sound as soaring and transcendent as it really is, but when this is over, no one will be able to say he didnât try his best. Heâs in tune, heâs singing the right notes, and thereâs nothing about his performance that might make the goat creature react poorly.
Thereâs also something to be said about the fact that despite his criticism, he still knows all the wordsâŚjudge him on that later. ]

[ He makes panicked noise as Teddy pulls heir hand from his, clearly alarmed, but he struggles to continue to play his part in all of this, helping as best he can. ]

Its eyes narrow and it inclines it head, as though it understands every word theyâre saying and is considering their words carefully.
The creature stays this way for a long stretch of time, but just before Eddie is forced to make his best attempt at Garfunkelâs upper octave, the Lyhos reaches up. It removes the mask and places it carefully onto the branches of the shrubbery. It steps backward and watches quietly, as if waiting for Teddy to collect its offering. ]
