Oh, that is infinitely better, to hear that sound, to watch the brightening of Glitch's eyes to something more familiar; more himself than the oppressive dullness of spirit.

He nods, lowering his eyes to watch Glitch's pale hand framing his own. The brush tickles, like a low hum lingering after a vibrant drum solo.

"I wouldn't know where to begin," he admits, eyes flitting up to meet Glitch's gaze. "Especially not now, when you've suffered a loss..."

His smile fades by degrees, but he sits up straighter, as resolve lengthens his spine. "But let me say that I dearly enjoy your company, and I find your stories fascinating. Your hands; animated and worn and strong; are more precious to me than anyone else's, and when we dance... I could dance forever and a day just to make you smile at me. That is all I ask, that you smile at me every once in a while. Let me into your life from time to time."
