No matter what news she had for them, surely Gloom knew there would be no hard feelings from Spirit no matter how much what she had to tell him might hurt. With their bond, he wasn't sure she could really do much to really hurt him, not after they'd endured so much hurt together and somehow survived it all. Still he was curious, letting his normal timid gaze fall to Audra in a way that was more probing than it ever really was. He'd never forgive anyone for hurting Gloom, but her whole demeanor screamed that she would do - and likely had already done - the complete opposite. Audra's gaze had a warmth in it as she looked to Gloom that Spirit knew couldn't be faked.
She cared, and that mattered more than anything else, and he saw the way Gloom leaned into her for comfort. She introduced her as Audra and his gaze hardly wavered as it studied her, more stony and unblinking than ever now as he studied her. She was the one who had cared for Gloom during her recovery.
"T-thank you, for helping her," Spirit said quickly, interjecting, finding his voice more easily than usual. Expressing his gratitude felt important regardless of what came next. Though his thankfulness was written plainly on his features, the tears that threatened to reach the surface of his eyes were difficult to hold back as she requested her leave. He'd always been strong for her above anyone, and that couldn't change now, right?
Even if he'd be alone here. He'd be okay, and Gloom would be happy, and really that was all he could ever ask for. After all, it was all that had kept him going for so long. Spirit didn't know what else he'd have here besides his mom, but that wasn't something he wanted Gloom to be concerned with.
"Y-you'll be happy there, yeah?" He asked, gaze falling back on Gloom, begging for her to be honest. If she'd be happy that was all he cared about. "A-and... A-Audra, you'll keep her safe? A-a-always?" Spirit's voice cracked as he struggled to keep his composure, torn between being happy she'd found someone who loved her in the way it sounded Audra did, and heartbroken that she, too, was leaving him.

Spirit has a female strawberry Finch companion named Strawberry, who is almost always nearby.
He also is usually wearing a saddlebag if he's away from home.
