Yeah, the Lonely’s one of them. That one is a real pain to deal with, mind you. Tries to make you comfortable, so you want to be its victim, but at the same time, it’s not a good source of comfort.
[ The Lonely was especially difficult for someone like Gerry, who grew up more or less isolated, to deal with. It’s tried to mark him in the past, but thankfully, it’s never succeeded. By now, Gerry is an old pro at dealing with that particular fear.
In response to Qrow’s question, Gerry holds up his hand, so that Qrow can see his knuckles. There’s a small tattoo of an eye on each. ]
Like this. It doesn’t have to be a physical mark, though. Just has to be a deliberate choice. Wouldn’t recommend it though. Only reason I marked myself was I got involved with the Fears when I was really young, and needed the protection.
[ Gerry would really like it if as many people as possible could avoid the fears!
Then Gerry asks his question, and once again, Qrow looks uncomfortable. Drat. Gerry listens anyway — this semblance stuff is fascinating. He’s about to ask if Qrow has a semblance. What’s his special power? Gerry opens his mouth, but lucky for Qrow, doesn’t get to say anything — the waitress has arrived with pancakes for the both of them. She sets them down, and is about to pour syrup on Qrow’s, when her grip slips and she spills the syrup all over the table.
Gerry, of course, is watching the whole time. It’s what he does. The waitress seems awfully disgruntled and perplexed, but Gerry doesn’t seem bothered by the syrup. He’s not looking at the syrup, or at the waitress.

He’s looking at Qrow. ]
