[terraria]

( he trades it gratefully, taking a few more sips. )

Mmm. Thank you, Sonata.

( he leans forward to give her a peck on her head. - and gives pause. )

Ah... apologies. Did I make you uncomfortable? I do that to all of the Aurain children on the island, I wasn't thinking.

[beathollow]

( sonata blinks a few times, but with how her ears are perked... she definitely doesn't disapprove. but


huh.

other than zenith hugging her and lyra after trials, sonata doesn't think she's... ever received such affection.

after a moment she shakes her head. )

No, you didn't. It just surprised me- I don't think anyone's done that for me before.

[terraria]

( his heart aches. oh, sonata... )

Would you like me to do that more often?

[beathollow]

... Would... that be a bother?

[terraria]

No, not at all. I'm a tactile person... but if you ever don't like something, just let me know. Scrunch your nose at me or something, and I'll stop. It's easy to get overstimulated at times.

[beathollow]

I don't think I will. ... I, ah- the only time I remember any sort of... affection like this, it was when I asked for it as a child, while I was sick. So it's actually very nice to have the option now.

[terraria]

It's still better to have the option. ( he does not feel comfortable not giving her a no. but still. another peck, for good luck. ) Feel safe, little chickadee.

[beathollow]

( if she could purr she would be, so you'll have to settle for happy tail raising instead, and also the fact that she blatantly leans up into it with a smile. )

Mhm.

[terraria]

( cute......!!! he wants to adopt but he cannot. he'll have to settle for being not-dad and teacher. )

Thank you for all of your care, Sonata.

[beathollow]

Mine...? I don't think I've done much.

[terraria]

( gently brushes her hair back, tender and soft. )

That's what we all think, in the moment. Yet, it's the smallest moments - the quietest memories - that always stay with people.

[beathollow]

I just... do what anyone would do, I think.

( sonata stop that. )

[terraria]

Maybe to some, but not to me.

You should accept your kindness, even if it's not something you meant to do. It's still worth celebrating.

[beathollow]

Oh- that's not what I meant. I just... I want to believe everyone could live like that.
