[He half expects she'll keep fighting against this. And in a way, she does. But he finds himself looking up instead of frowning down.
He can remember instances of each. Even times he's only tried. He remembers dancing with her, growing closer with each time up between. He can remember how it got easier and easier to think well of her, even as he struggled to know what to say to ease her broken heart. He can recall how gradual but inevitable she transformed into a miracle before his very eyes until the poetry simply came on out. And of course, of course, he remembers fighting for her and futures.
But most importantly, it feels like she finally understands. She understands and she still wants him.]
You still wish to stay?
[The hope fills his voice and swells his heart. It lights his face and a smile slowly starts growing on back. It bubbles out of him with a laugh of relief. He leans in to kiss her, right upon her cheek. His hands find hers.]
You don't have to fear, by the by. Can feel you worrying on my changing. I've been... getting better up by that. Wouldn't be like to say nothing could break me, any troll can be motherfucking broken, but I can't think of anything what could natural making happenstance. And nothing abnormal can be making about me either anymore. I got a long life and short temper but... I think I might be okay, maybe.
[Especially if he's got her too. That'll make it all the easier.]
And the rest of this all, [He says, stroking her hair back.] what's getting to stir in your pan. It'll settle. Trust me, that. You'll find out new ways to fathoming the world. Better ones.
[He hesitates. He looks Terezi over and tries to sense her out too.] I haven't talked to Gamzee. Not yet. I couldn't, not until I was being sure with you. And even then I wanted savoring what time I had with you. Was thinking as I'd start with a letter all anyways now. Just to be seeing if he even wants an ancestor, let alone this motherfucker. But I can get about it sooner than later, should you wish. If you'd like being near and all.
