⊰ ♞ ⊱ —;; He listens to her speak, his stone faced facade dropping more with each sentence she says. A soft sigh leaves his lips for he's pained to hear her speak like this. To hear her say these words. True she may not be physically capable to do what he has asked for her before, much to his dismay, but her exuberance made up for it.

"You do not annoy me," His voice is soft and he's opening up his blue eyes, looking down at her with a melancholic expression, "You do not bother me at all, Cynthia. Your antics are quite something but they are far from stupid. One might go as far as to call them zealous." His fingers continue to pet through her hair, letting his digits groom through the dark brown locks. Lifting a hand, he lets his fingers lightly play with one of her pigtails before he lifts up her chin so he can look at her face.
