@VoicedMelodies — I believe in you."
Every word carried with it a certain tenderness and a tinge of pure honesty.

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies — to face with her, and simply provided her with a warm smile, staring into her eyes for a moment, quietly..

"No need to be afraid. It's *your* power. Your choice. You can do it.
Just think of anything you can that's positive. I'm sure we'll maybe get something going, here. —

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies — reader's antenna towards Hana. The low tone remained.
"Are you okay with testing your 'abilities', still? We don't have to if you're concerned about it at all.."

His head tilts.

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies Xalken brought his device to his front with both hands, being sure to tune it once more for good measure.
The device squelched as he passed through differing frequencies, before halting on a low toned note—signifying its readiness.

Smiling, the cosmic hedgehog aimed the —

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies The smallest trace of a smirk crawled its way on to his muzzle as he proceeded, looking straight ahead at their home.

Where he'd enter with Hana in tow, carefully escorting her past the doorframe, and shutting the door behind them with his foot.

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies — lead himself deeper into the kiss, before pulling himself away suddenly..!
In a quick movement, he'd bend down and lift Hana off of her feet—carrying her in his arms, in the way one would a bride.

And with a rather calm, passionate smile, he quietly began to walk.

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies A song and dance that never grows old; the love and affection he had for her was something he'd do anything to ensure she was aware of, in its fullest capacity..
/She/ was his world—not a singular planet visited could claim such a title—not even his home.
Which is why...

Icebo —

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies — considered that plants could be used as measurements of affection, or memory.
But I suppose it makes sense.

If they're important to you, then they're important to me." Nod.

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies The mention of his absences still made him tense up a tiny bit; the regret still petering out slowly in his mind since his return. He slightly tightened the grip on his device...

But still wore the smile, tilting his head a bit.
"How.. extremely sweet of you. Really.
I never —

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies — patience and care this all takes, I mean..
I could never, truly.."

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies His eyes scanned around the railings and up at the free swinging baskets.. lips barely parted as he examined it all.

Strange— how did he /never/ notice the ones on top...?
Pulling himself out of his head, he managed to put on a smile again.

"This has always impressed me..
The —

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies — was only able to exist because of this woman in front of him.

"I love /you/, more than I could ever properly show...
But I'll try.."

His brows dropped as he got more serious and sincere, closing his eyes and slowly leaning in to lock his lips with hers softly.

[𝐗𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐧. @IcyParanoia]

@VoicedMelodies A feeling once thought to be... /unattainable/ for the Cryostellan one upon a time had been flaring up for months on end, constantly, now:

Love.
Pure, unfettered and genuine.

There hadn't been many moment where his cold heart burned with such intensity. And each that existed —
