He and Finn sitting by a river, Fern having a meltdown over being a failure, Finn grabbing his hands and telling him to stop -
He freezes up, then glances around fearfully, slight tears in his eyes. He isn't here - Jon isn't here. Varian is right. It's just the two of them. In the absence of taking several deep breaths to calm down he tries to focus on Varian, and the tree they're in. The rustle of the leaves, and some bird chirping nearby.
Once he's ready to talk, he tries to do so, slower this time.]
H... he looked normal. Like a normal person. Until he just - didn't. There were eyes all over his body.
