He almost didn't follow them. He considered it, for a few seconds. Finn was handling this a hell of a lot better than he was, and he was worried that if he kept up with them that he'd lose his temper again and drive her away. So even as they walked, he stayed with Beebee, the hound making a low questioning sound.
"I know, buddy," He murmured softly to the dog. "I don't know what to do, either."
He'd been happy, often, to watch his lovers - his wife, his husband, his other halves - be together. Not be part of it, necessarily, not all the time, just to watch the two of them enjoy each other's company. Finn had a special smile, just for Rey, and Rey had a special smile, just for Finn, and he had often liked to bask in it. In how much they loved each other. In how much they loved him. But now, as he turned his head to watch them walk away, all he saw was Rey's hesitancy and confusion, and Finn's worry.
It gave him nothing but pain, to stay back and watch them now.
So he finally got up, following after them and thrusting his hands into his pockets, little dark clouds of something like dust or smoke trailing after his feet.
"Mortals make everything more complicated than it is," He murmured. "It's not that science isn't real, or doesn't work. It just doesn't apply to us. Think about it like... another plane of existence. We share their world, sometimes, but we also exist somewhere else. Right now? You're somewhere else. A mortal could dig down from the exact spot I made the stairs and never find this place. It won't make sense if you keep trying to fit it into the physical world you know."
