[she chuckles devilishly at that before she becomes much more reflective]

Oh, uhm, just it turns out I was born or made or whatever--I remember Soul Songs: every soul has its own music that I was attuned to. My brother was more like you, he could See their colours. But things are often...much quieter without that ambient noise now that I remember it's supposed to exist.

[she perks up. that's unpleasant who cares]

It does explain a thing or two, anyway!

[she lets him take them easily, happy for the contact]

It might explain why music is actually very deeply important to me. I mean, it is for a lot of people, but turns out I was living it.

[her face falls for a moment, brow furrowing]

It's frustrating, though, I don't...remember my brother's soul. I know why, but I don't...

[she shakes her head gently, smiling.]

Anyway, I wouldn't mind showing you sometime, of course.

[what is she going to do with all this affection. She blushes faintly and kisses his cheek, grateful and slightly more relaxed for the reassurance.

Though, it's bound to cost her considering how her memories almost always are, but it will be worth it. He doesn't need to know that, though. It's a downer.]

That is a good idea. [she taps her chin thoughtfully] ...I still haven't done anything with my room yet, so that would be a good first step.

[She looks askance for a moment]

...Sometimes, I can't help but wonder just what I am.

...I don't know. All I know is I'm not human and maybe that's why...[she stops]

All I know is that I was manufactured but it seems like something was wrong with the process, or something.

...I dunno about love. I feel fine otherwise, though, I suppose...

Ah, but what if she starts to cry, instead?]

[She puts her face in her hands, but lets him hold her. She's quiet, but she's shaking]

B-but I haven't...

[personal profile] failedsafe 2020-12-20 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
B-but what, why?

[She will remember, in time, what was told to her about love, what she herself knows about it, but it's difficult to reconcile the truth with her own reality.]

[She makes a sound and it's hard to tell if it's a hiccup or something of a harsh laugh.]

I wasn't told anything, I had to figure things out on my own.

It's...it's not that I don't know people care, but...I haven't done much of anything to earn it.

[She closes her eyes and winces.]

I know that that's not how it works, but I can't--

[she's just so wired that way it's hard to untangle it all]

[She does respond well to the kisses, the tension leaving her somewhat]

I am...I have, it's just...hard to reconcile.

It's fine. I always, always welcome and enjoy your company.

[she smiles. it seems real enough]

You're right about my energy, so bouncing back will be no problem.

...I'll try not to let you down, then.
