Shiro snorts, a surprisingly human sound, and gives Isiel a side-long glance. “At least you’re not calling me Banana Boy.” He shifts position to get a better look. “I’m living in interesting times,” he replies in his usual dry tone. “What about you? What brings you around to grace my supplies with your presence?”

A stag beetle skitters down the iridescent plating of her arm and into the waiting hands of the Guardian before herself. From where it came, no one knows, but it seems placid enough.

Just... yes? It's all about sound - Ariel finding his voice again alongside Isiel, picking up playing the guitar again, listening to each other's heartbeats, laughing together... They were very gentle and careful about their getting together, even though they both were head over heels for each other very quickly. Ariel can't imagine his life without her anymore and wants to give her all that is good in him but shield her from the bad parts and past. They both heal in this relationship and see that it's not all bad, that there is love for them and a safe space in each other's arms.

Choosing this for them was like... instant when I saw it on my playlist again! It's quite bitter-sweet in its meaning for them, despite the upbeat tune - Felwinter is a perfectionist. He won't stop to beat himself over his failures, and won't stop striving to find out more about all the Rasputin business. At the same time, he is bent on helping Core to find their way and place, to not be afraid, try out stuff, and not let the missing arm stop them. He wants Core to be able to survive in the world if he won't be around anymore to help them. Core, on the other hand, is the one person that can ground Felwinter and show him that it's okay to fail, that one can learn from it, get up and try again.

Okay, I do listen to Miley Cyrus, too. The secret's out! I love this song for them cause it has water as the main subject and Kelpie, well... he's always a fisherman so!

Zorya still can't believe they found each other and gave themselves a chance, and even though she's learning to not run away from it still, she's extremely thankful. Kelpie is her safe harbor and she knows she can always count on him and his strength, both mental and physical. He made her fear of being in love a lot more bearable and gave her hope and a place she can call home.

Kelpie swept Zorya up in a close hug, resting his forehead against the top of her head. "Hello my lovely Fox. I made us some dinner," the scent of the kitchen was one of roast beef, fresh mashed potatoes, gravy, and warm cider. Looking her over, his expression stayed soft, but there was some concern in his eyes as well. "Are you alright? I'm here for you, you know that right?"

Coming home to an actual homely smells and a warm welcome was something Zorya still wasn't used to, but enjoyed it very much. Wrapping her arms around Kelpie's middle, she let out a soft sigh. He could make all the worries go away so easily, it was almost magical.

Apostle seemed to be in a normal mood when he decided to stop by Ariels', and for all intents and purposes, he wanted it that way. But, upon closer inspection, one could see the mischief flickering in his eyes. Once he was close enough, he collapsed on top of the other Titan, one arm lazily wrapped around Ariels' middle as he tucked his head in Ariels' shoulder. "Payback," he murmured, lips brushing against Ariels neck as a soft chuckle followed at the memory of when Ariel claimed him as a cuddle buddle and almost knocked them both to the floor.

Ariel knew something was brewing but did not predict that as he settled on the sofa comfortably. He let out a huff when Apostle fell on top of him, only slightly convinced to not throw the other off by the brush on his neck.
