Though the are around lanterns so far had all been what one might consider ‘safe zones,’ he had no intention of letting his guard down. The world was a dangerous place after all, especially so in Yharnam, and even moreso on Nights of the Hunt–thus it was only wise to be ever-cautious. After all, while he may have been effectively immortal while bound to the Dream, there was no telling how long that might last or when it would no longer be true. For all Farren knew, at any moment, his connection to the Dream–and thus the assurance of his return to life by its power–could be severed and worse still…he might not even notice.

As a result, Farren actually witnessed the golden head through his peripheral vision, rather than looking at it directly. As it came into his field of view, he instinctively started to look in its direction as he made a double-take to ensure he’d seen what he had thought he had. However, before he could lay his focus directly on the head or the fissures that were spreading over its surface, Farren forced his gaze to pass right over it as if he hadn’t noticed at all. Then he forced himself to relax, quietly controlling his breathing despite the flash of fear that had just spiked in his chest, sending a small wash of adrenaline through his veins. Deliberately, Farren kept himself from clenching or gritting his teeth and as Ophelia moved, so too did he, having only taken a few moment’s longer to take in the surroundings. However, as she had also realized, Farren understood that Torquil was likely to react quite visibly to the Golden Watcher that served as the lantern rather than what they’d all grown used to. As such, Farren would step towards him and throw his arm over the man’s shoulders as he started to walk, guiding his attention to the Workshop, hoping the man wouldn’t shy away or resist the guidance. More importantly, Farren hoped that he’d stopped the man either from seeing the head at all…or at least from reacting too obviously.
