The Fourth Sortie [Accidental Voice]

[yellowthirteen]

[Thirteen's mostly been keeping to himself lately, staying indoors where it's warm and enjoying what works of literature he can pick up from the library.  Though, he's been checking out other books lately as well, specifically what few books on aeronautics engineering are available and occasionally history books from his homeworld of Strangereal.  He's currently reading one of his aeronautics books, but he pauses to look out his window to the snow-coated village.]

Never did like the snow.  I'll be glad when the spring comes... maybe then I'll be able to... 

[He trails off for a moment there.]

Heh, well.  We'll see.   For now, just have to enjoy what I have...

[Yellow 13 is taken for this event.  Please wait until Grune arrives before posting in voice.  If you want to knock on his door, though, feel free.]

[ Grune listens quietly until he finishes. When he's done, she claps softly. ]

That's such a lively song. It's very nice, but kind of sad, I think.

It is. But it's an old favorite of mine. And... well, so's this one.

[He begins playing again. This time, it sounds happier, but deliberate... a love song. Ah, the wonders of Spanish guitar.]

[ She just listens quietly, leaning against him a little. ]

[And he'll just keep playing... though she may notice him turn red a slight touch when she leans in against him.]

[ She doesn't :< But she's enjoying listening to him a lot! ]

[Eventually, the song will end, and he'll just glance down to Grune. There's a gentle, sincere smile tugging at his lips, though he says nothing for now.]

[ She shifts a little against him, not opening her eyes yet. ] Mmm, very nice...

[Her weight gently leaning into him sends warmth through his body. This feeling... he hadn't experienced it in a very long time. Too long. But he knew what it was.

Love. This woman, as strange as she was, stirred powerful emotion in him. Even when he met her, he felt an odd connection. But he was sure of it.

But... could she feel the same way? Memory problems hounded her, as Senel had said. Would she even remember enough to have any feeling about him at all? He wanted to know, but how could he? Such a question...

Absently, he began playing another love song he knew from home as he replied to her.]

I'm glad you like it, Grune.
