[ Look, Eddie could come up with a million things on the fly…but yeah, they I>do all require the use of a guitar, so maybe he’d be struggling as well. ]

Jesus Christ—just…don’t tell anyone.

[ 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 Teddy’s 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. ]

When darkness comes, and pain is all around—

[ He’s no Paul Simon, and he’s 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 didn’t try his best. He’s in tune, he’s singing the right notes, and there’s nothing about his performance that might make the goat creature react poorly.

There’s also something to be said about the fact that despite his criticism, he still knows all the words…judge him on that later.

Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down—

[ 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. ]

Wait—wait—like a—shit—bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down—

[ The Lyhos seems pacified enough, whether by Teddy’s magic or the lovely background music it’s been provided with. It ignores Eddie entirely and instead stares quietly and intently at Teddy. Its eyes narrow and it inclines it head, as though it understands every word they’re 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 Garfunkel’s 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.
