"God, you look awwwwwwful." Shand grimaces at the sight of her, more for her benefit than his as he sizes her up and down.
"Sorry about Ears. She was such an unbelievable delight and a ray on sunshine upon this earth."
Either the alcohol or the situation or the years he's lived so far, or a combination, has numbed Shand's fear altogether so that he approaches the mouth of the cave boldly although not in a very straight line, spitting in the direction of Ears' crystal-frozen corpse as he passes it.
"I'd be in mourning too, if I️ was a washed up, blind old bat whose favorite person on earth died just to get away from her."
Shand raises both his arms out almost in a challenge, although there is no lightning yet. He's still just toying with her.
However, he has pulled the ring out of his pocket and slipped it onto his finger, making sure to roll it across his bloody arm before doing so.
"Not to mention, trends change, Olvreign. This junk may have been all the rage when I️ first met ya, but I️ said it then and I'll say it again."
Shand put a boot on a short outcrop of crystal and kicks it over with ridiculous force.
"You're tacky and I️ hate you. And just because I'm in particular need of some catharsis, today is the day you die."
