#Ravein Answers

"i didn’t think this would have such a great impact on me, but it does."

I take it that this is from my other blog, and is for Ravein [x] ||Accepting|| @lured-into-wonderland

It was Ravein's turn to find a place to show to Nunnally that wasn't too far from her home so that she could be escorted back home within a reasonable hour.

It didn't take very long to get there, and when they arrived, he had doubts about whether or not the location he chose was an appropriate one or not, but her comment was a relief.

The view was beautiful and it was one that he found recently that was soothing to watch over some nights when he wanted to be alone and get lost in his own thoughts.

[fightingthetides]

Roberto couldn’t help but feel sorry towards Nunnally, because it wasn’t her fault for misunderstanding something. It wasn’t easy to learn how to better accommodate someone who was on the run, and she was doing her best with her limited knowledge in the category. Not only that, but with the way Ravein normally spoke, it wasn’t easy to understand what he meant to say. It was very cryptic, and it may take a considerable amount of time before you start understanding his mindset.

Understanding Ravein’s situation better, Roberto could explain some things to Nunnally on the behalf of Ravein.

“Though it is nuanced, it is generally safer to be around the public, in more enclosed spaces. The mafia cannot so easily act in a public space where their activities will be seen- so then they’d catch the attention of the authorities.” Roberto glances over at Ravein, who nods his head once, “It’s harder for specialists like snipers to find the opportunity to kill someone indoors and not risk involving an innocent bystander.”

Of course, the same could be said for outside in public, but if they truly wanted Ravein dead, they could simply choose to kill him, attract the attention of the authorities, but run away quick enough to not face any consequences. The better he could blend in with others and have plenty opportunities to hide, the better. That’s why places like the beach were dangerous, because he couldn’t hide anywhere. Also, the ocean was a popular spot for gangsters to rid of evidence.

“He’s generally safer indoors,” though that didn’t mean he was actually safe. There were guns that could shoot bullets through walls, and some specialists had ways to find a target inside, such as using surveillance, or heat seeking technology. It was a hassle that most wouldn’t be willing to spend all the time, money, and effort on. “It seems that though he’s nervous about being around people in general, he would still like to try going out with you. He needs to learn to be more comfortable being around others.” Can’t forget how he never properly socialized with others normally, so he felt at odds with the general populace.

Thinking it over, “perhaps for the first outing, I will have to trouble you with spending time with an old man like myself. I can help bridge any misunderstandings,” and also help ease Ravein into being around people. Someone would have to act as his lifeline to keep his delicate tether of sanity in check.

At her question about shopping for something more, Ravein nodded his head quietly, thinking it would be interesting to shop for other things as well. It’s what he heard about, ‘window shopping’.

[Malls] [Okay]

When Roberto returned, he accepted his mug, and so did Ravein. The two men tried a sip of their beverages, and it was readily evident on both of their faces that they liked the drinks.

[Good]

“It’s a lovely cup of coffee, thank you, Miss Nunnally.” Roberto thanks her with a smile and he turns to stare at Ravein’s notebook with disapproval. “You should really say more if you wish to prevent further misunderstandings, Rav. Most can’t understand your meaning with just a couple of words.”

“Some people find it rude if one is so curt with their words,” he added and the look of surprise on Ravein’s face was clear as day. This was a habit of his from his intel broker days. The less information anyone could gain about him, the better. So he always spoke very little and virtually only answered with [yes] and [no] so people couldn’t get a good read on his handwriting to do analysis.

Ravein nods his head solemnly, and Roberto takes another sip of his coffee, turning to Nunnally. “You are free to tell him if he makes things harder for you because of his habits. He’s usually open minded enough to take your concerns into consideration. With me, he usually writes full sentences, for example.” Well, it took time for Ravein to feel comfortable enough to do so, but still.

Nunnally didn’t originally notice that she had confused Ravein. Sure, she didn’t completely understand everything he was trying to communicate, so it was a guessing game for her, but with her talking, she tried to explain to him what message had finally reached her. It was not that she was entirely clear either, as she was so used to overthinking and second-guessing that her messages could also be somewhat blurry.

She did hear Roberto’s ( “What’s wrong?” ) question, but she has decided to ignore it for the time being. It was not directed at her, and even though if it was, everything seemed just fine for her. Though internally, Nunnally was anxious. Something was wrong again. Did she say something wrong? Did she overlook some hints that were given to her?

-- ( She surely did; that was what she was doing all the time. ) --

But even if she did, Nunnally considered it was not big this time. She had already experienced a major overstepping of Ravein’s boundaries, so she suspected this time, it was at most a medium “misunderstanding.” So, she continued keeping herself busy, while Robero and Ravein were speaking with each other. And, indeed, Roberto’s reply to Ravein made her feel better; or perhaps rather calmer, and she allowed herself to ask: --

“Have I misunderstand you, Rav, again? I am sorry. I am not the best in reading in between. I never was.”

Though she didn’t ask what she had mixed up, or where her mistake was. Shall they want to tell her, they surely would. And soon Nunnally learnt not to be wrong.

Oh! So it was all about! That she thought that Ravein didn’t want to join her for "mug hunting"! And she assumed it was too dangerous for him: --

“I thought that perhaps it’s too risky, if we go shopping out there in the city. But if you think it’s just fine, then yes: let’s go.” – Nunnally smiled and added – “I’ll leave it to Ravein. I wouldn’t mind the three of us go, but it’s not that I don’t enjoy spending time with Ravein alone.”

“And yes…” – Nunnally added this time directly to Roberto – “I actually think that some of my small additions make the coffee taste nicer. Though I have a simple taste as you might remember and for me, it’s mainly choosing the right kind of coffee beans.”

They were soon ready. Roberto and Nunnally with their drinks. Nunnally was quite proud of what she had prepared, but she would still wait a few moments before Roberto was back. In the meantime, she smiled to Ravein: --

“I am excited, too. Would it be okay to shop for something more? I might need a things or two.” – perhaps she really did not need them, but it would allow them to spend some more time together – “What places are better? Crowded malls or rather smaller shopping alleys? Would lunch also be an option?”

Roberto was back rather fast.

And there Nunnally was; beaming with pride, handing one mug to Roberto and another to Ravein: --

 “Dark roast with star anise. I didn’t add too much as it’s a unique taste.. Not everyone likes it.”

“Your tea is based on lavender. I was less experimental here.”

“I hope you’ll like it. Enjoy.” – she hoped they would find the drinks tasty – “But do feel free to tell me if you don’t. I don’t want to make you a drink you don’t like again.”

Uhm... How 'bout the Circus AU? With.... Ravein?

Taken from: [x] ||Accepting|| Answering for: @raveinthedarknight

Circus AU – In which the story is set in a circus and the characters are circus performers or customers. 

Hmm hmm this is an interesting one, especially given the fact that he is a very athletic kind of guy (well, his family is), so he would be able to work in a circus. 

I would think that he would enjoy doing something with crazy stunts, or something that is dangerous in general. The thrill of it all is very exciting. I can see Ravein being either one of those people who tame the animals and have them do tricks, or he’d be one of those trapeze artists soaring through the air and doing the flips. 

Maybe in a Circus AU, it would be a family run circus that travels around the world showing off their acts. He can be a Trapeze artist with someone else in the family, though he’s trying to work up to becoming the Pierrot. 

The multi-talented entertainer, the star of the show. It’s not so much that he enjoys the attention being on him or anything like that, but it is a family business and he wants to show/prove that he can do it right. He’ll be able to show off his stunts and wow the crowd. 

At the core of things, he’s a good kid and he’s pretty humble. He just wants to show everyone a good time by doing the best in his performance. Ravein is a diligent worker, so you can expect to see him practicing all the time, making sure that he’s in the best condition to wow the crowd with. 

Always looking to try new stunts and tricks, learning new things so he can rotate around in different acts-- he can take over for someone else if something were to happen. 

You had a nasty fall and you broke your arm? Don’t you worry, he can take over for you. He can wear a mask so maybe people won’t recognize him when it’s time for his own act. What? Won’t I be too tired? I’m still young, and I work hard daily, so this much is nothing. I can handle it!

He will always use all of his energy into shows, so you’ll see him just passed out cold after the show. He’ll be dead to the world, unable to wake up, but then you’ll see him eagerly working towards the next show after he wakes up. 

I guess you can say that I tend to like workaholic muses... wow. I’m living out my desire to actually do things through my muses.

96﹕ sender  tackles  receiver  out  of  the  way  of  danger + REVERSE for Ravein

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| @lured-into-wonderland

Ravein may have been an ex-assassin and a part of the mafia, but he did have a thing called standards. After he’d massacred some members of his famiglia, including the don, he’d run off. (He never said his standards were good ones) In the process of doing so, he managed to run into a young woman- who he had threatened in the heat of the moment. He always kept a fishing line on him that he could use in case of emergencies. Should he deem necessary, it could be used to take a life.

He’d been chased by the mafia after what he’d done, and he thought that she was one of them, initially. However, it didn’t take much for him to realize that she wasn’t one of them. His impeccable memory was such that he could recognize anyone he’d seen just once, and her face didn’t match anyone within the ranks of the famiglia.

Still, he recognized her face, which meant that she had to be an important person either in politics or in the underworld. Mind too jumbled to shuffle through his memories at the moment as he was quickly running out of time, he forfeited the pursuit of figuring out her identity for now as he prioritized escaping. He’d let her go after he noted she wasn’t a threat to him and he ran off. Her presence had accidentally helped him to escape because of the very nature of who she is. Being a part of the mafia herself, the pursuers couldn’t act hastily around her, and she pointed in the wrong direction that he ran in. They believed her and lost Ravein’s trail.

What else could they do but hopelessly continue their search? They could not bring up their complaints with her famiglia lest they risk earning the ire of another mafia when they’d just recently lost their Don. They couldn’t risk it.

Having escaped, Ravein had to lay low. In this time, he had pieced together what had transpired up to this point, and he belated realized the identity of who had helped him before. She may not have intended to help him, but he couldn’t deny the fact that her being there at that time had helped him to escape. One night, he left a note on her windowsill along with a small bunny doll apologizing for scaring her, and thanks.

It didn’t sit right with him to leave things on that, so even if it wasn’t in his best interest to do so, he’d stayed behind on the off chance that he may be able to return the favor in helping her one day. Being affiliated with the mafia, it shouldn’t take too long.

Alas, late in the evening, Nunnally was faced with some unhappy goons from a different mafia. Ravein, who found comfort in perching in the shadows of rooftops and overhangs, had come across the situation and paused out of curiosity. Upon recognizing Nunnally, he jumped down and knocked out the goons. He may be an ex-assassin, but he did prefer to not kill if it weren’t even necessary to do so.

He turns to look at her, looking a bit different from before, understandably as a disguise was the bare minimum one had to do if they were on the run. “Okay?” He asks her, wondering if she was okay.

[fightingthetides]

∗ 1oo﹕ sender  has  just  died ,  receiver  finds  out . // ummmmmmm

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting||

A bit earlier than planned, but Ravein returned from a mission he’d been out on for a while. He’d been away for about a month, and he knew from communications that his buddies had also been off on missions of their own. He could feel the tension in the air, but the moment he stepped into base, all the hushed mutterings came to an abrupt start.

Not a pleasant way to be greeted as one could imagine. Unnerved, he starts looking around, attempting to find any context clues for him to go off of. He recognizes one person in the crowd, who stopped like a deer in headlights. If his memory serves him right, he had been on a mission with Haru last.

Making a direct bee-line for the man, who was actively trying to avoid him while also acting nonchalant (spoiler alert: it only made things all the more suspicious). Through the twisting hallways, the silent assassin notices the state that some of the hallways were in. In the back of his mind, he’s curious about who started a fight this time.

Ravein finally manages to corner the guy. Wordlessly, he stared at the man, not relenting until the man finally gives up. If there was one thing anyone knew about Ravein, was that he was stubborn and patient.

He had no qualms about following someone until they gave into his silent demands. “Alright! I give! She’s in confinement right now.”

A small head tilt in confusion. Haru had a temper and an attitude to match, but she was obedient compared to officers within the Varia who did as they pleased. The man hesitated for a few more seconds, “that friend of yours. Luca, you didn’t hear what happened to him yet… did you?”

The look of confusion and worry was all the other needed to see, “He was killed in action and the perps sent his body to base not long ago. She was the first one to see it.” As one could imagine, Haru would’ve gone insane from anger alone. Wanting vengeance was just another facet of her breadkdown.

He finally realizes that the reason the hallways were in such a state was because Haru would’ve put up a fight if others tried to stop her from going after the perps who killed Luca. She’d always joked that if anything ever happened to them, she’d hunt down the perps and then tunnel down to Hell herself to drag them back to Earth.

“When?”

“Huh? O-oh” it was rare for Ravein to speak with his actual voice, so he was taken aback, “Yesterday, we found out.” They were discussing how to keep this a secret from Ravein until the situation calmed itself. Ideally, he would’ve been away for at least another week. Alas, he efficiently finished his mission early, so they didn’t have the chance to hide the news from him.

The reticent assassin nods his head and walks away. He was surprisingly quite calm and collected about the news. It was like business as usual, where he went to his room, wrote up his report, and did whatever he normally does, read or work out alone.

When asked how he was holding up after losing his friend, he would shake his head and shrug his shoulders in response. Everyone else took that to mean, ‘it’s unfortunate, but that’s just how it is in the Varia. People die eventually.’ As it turned out, they didn’t have to worry about him—or so they thought.

When night fell, he snuck into the confinement room that Haru was kept in to force her to ‘cool her head,’ and he broke her out. Together, they left the base in search of the bastards that killed Luca. If Haru was the sort to express her emotions vocally and physically, Ravein was the sort who preferred to internalize everything and ‘speak’ through action. While working on his report, he had gone to research what mission Luca was on, and devise his plan of breaking Haru out and bringing her with him.

In retrospect, it was better that Haru had been the one that was confined first, as Ravein had the sense to break her out so they could go together. If he were the one to have found out first, he would’ve gone off the handle immediately like Haru had done.

After all, two assassins on the job is better than just one whose mind was clouded by anger and pain.

She’d never forgive him if he came back after getting revenge while leaving her behind. A few hours after the break in, an alarm that Haru had escaped her confinement cell was sounded off. It didn’t take long to realize that Ravein was missing as well.

No one was sent to go after the two because they knew full well that neither Haru or Ravein would hesitate to attack whoever got in their way. Haru, at the very least would attack to incapacitate, while Ravein wouldn’t hesitate to kill if it meant it could save a few precious seconds.

The Varia had already lost Luca, so they couldn’t afford to lose any more just to bring back two officers throwing a tantrum. “What kind of present do you think Luca would like? A hand? Maybe an ear? Hmm… maybe an eye is good.” Haru was thinking aloud as they were travelling according to the path Ravein had set for them.

It took a period of a week of them hunting and maiming anyone Ravein thought could’ve been the perpetrator behind killing Luca. Perhaps a few innocent lives were taken, but neither of them were willing to take any chances of letting the killer go scot-free. In their path a bloody trail of carnage, with some missing body parts as Haru was collecting them as ‘gifts’.

Once their personal mission of vengeance was complete, there was a sense of fulfillment and emptiness. What now? Doing this wouldn’t bring their Luca back, but it was a good way of venting their anger out on the ones responsible.

Haru and Ravein split ways after completing their personal mission to have some time to themselves. With Luca’s enemies dead, Haru could finally sit down and cry over the loss. Ravein, a person who rarely slept for long due to his constant bout of nightmares couldn’t sleep at all. It was the mere principle of being so caught up in his thoughts remembering Luca that his brain wouldn’t allow him to sleep.

Having a pictographic memory as he did, it made remembering Luca all the harder to process.

The two may have stayed out for longer before someone messaged them saying that if they stay out for too long, they may miss out on looking through Luca’s things to take before they’re disposed of. It didn’t take long for either of them to return to base to retrieve something to remember their friend by—and to also be punished for truancy.

Worth it, though.

“No, I’m not upset with you, why would you — oh.” Ravein

[Original meme found on another blog] ||Accepting|| @lured-into-wonderland

Ravein could see the small furrowing of her eyebrows and she had been silent for a while. He grew nervous as the silence between them grew, because she was usually the talkative one among them and yet there was silence. She seemed to intensively be staring at something on her phone, but he didn’t take a peek as that would be invading her privacy.

Maybe she was mad at something. Was this what they called the ‘could shoulder’? He tapped her shoulder and asked if she was upset with him. Whatever it was, she wasn’t upset with him, which was a giant relief.

A gentle smile appears on his face as the relief settles in.

[fightingthetides]

darkness-hound‌:

He didn’t understand the part where Ravein wouldn’t fight with him - for reasons he thought were obvious. He almost had a bit of hope when Ravein looked his way and opened his notebook, but the clearly marked “no” in the middle of the page only made him angrier. Yes, he was ready to jump over the counter and give Ravein a hit right in the mouth for ignoring him like that…

but right as he was putting his hand on the flat surface in front of him for support, a voice reached him from one of the farther tables.

“H-hAH? W-WHO IS A MISTRESS YOU FUCKER?!” he yelled, throwing a silver glare to the responsible, who somehow only managed to laugh.

Maybe because, despite Hound’s lack of awareness, the bright red all over his face was doing no favors to his attempts of intimidation. If anything, his reaction was being taken in the wrong way by the other customers whose attention had been caught by all of his very own loud yelling.

“Oh, so a official girlfriend?” someone else joked, making Hound jump up again.

“SHUT UP, I’M NO ONE’S GIRLFRIEND” he yelled, saying that outloud making him feel more and more embarrassed and more and more like fighting someone.

“Oh, he’s getting even angrier. Bartender keep your girlfriend on check” they continued to laugh, clearly amused by Hound’s wide range of embarrassed expressions

“Maybe a make-up kiss will shut him up~”

Man, he sure wanted to deck those pieces of shit to hell and back, but if fighting a co-worker was bad, kicking a customers ass for no good reason would probably get him fired. It seemed like he’d had to take out his anger on Ravein as the only available fighter around … if only he actually agreed to fight of course.

A mistress? Who, Hound? That wasn’t right at all. He was neither a mistress or an official girlfriend. Ravein couldn’t understand where anyone could get such an idea. He glanced over at Hound who was boisterously yelling at his customers. He was red... with anger(?) and Ravein simply shook his head. He held up his notebook once more: [no].

It was as if he had to tell Hound himself that he didn’t think of Hound as his girlfriend either. He flipped through his notebook for an empty page, and he wrote something down. He turned to the customer who was teasing Hound to show them what he’d written: ‘boyfriend.’ 

Obviously, Hound was a male. Therefore, he couldn’t be a mistress or a girlfriend. He had to be a ‘boyfriend’. Did they not see how he was a male? 

“Hoh~ Boyfriend, is it?” “Yo... fer real? The guy’s your boyfriend?” 

[No]

This entire situation was a mess. Being told to kiss Hound had Ravein remembering something from his past. 

“Ravein, know that if you’re going to kiss someone, they either have to be family, or your spouse. You can’t just kiss anyone.” This was a lesson that his mother taught him from a very young age. She had worried that Ravein would somehow turn into a kissing fiend? 

He turned to Hound once more to show him the answer: [no] for the third time in a row. He wasn’t going to kiss you. This time, he flipped through the pages to write on a fresh page. [Marriage first.] As in, he would have to marry you first if you wanted a kiss. Was this going to complicate things? Probably. Was Ravein coming onto you knowingly? Nope. 

Picking fights

'i haven't felt like this in a very long time.' for Ravein

[Original meme found on another blog] ||Accepting|| @lured-into-wonderland

Ravein wasn’t sure how to react to that comment. He didn’t want to assume he understood how another felt (because he feared he’d be wrong), so he wasn’t sure what it was that she felt. He would hope that she felt happy, or safe.

He had showed her a place that he liked to go to visit and lose himself in his thoughts. The view of the sunset from this place was always stunning, and it was one of his favorite things.

[The stars are prettier]

Which was to say, if they stayed out long enough to wait for the stars to come out, she’d be able to see the beautiful shimmering lights of the stars above. It did take some time to get here, but the sights made it worth it, he thought. Deep into the wooded area where the lights from buildings and with less air pollution, you could truly appreciate the sky for what it was.

He’d found this place years ago during a mission, and it made such an impression on him that he’d made it a point to remember the coordinates for the place. This was where he could allow himself to feel free from the burdens of his past and just enjoy the calming atmosphere for what it was.

[ 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 ] for Ravein

The man freezes in place fearing that he may have woken the sleeping woman when he was sneaking out the door to get some water.

Did he get caught? Frozen, he held his breath, waiting for her to say something else, but when he heard nothing else, he slowly starts moving out the door again before he hears her call his name again.

Obediently, he sits, assuming that he was being disallowed from leaving the room. Ravein is a good boy, as they say.

'Date or Pass' for Ravein

[Original meme] ||Yoinked from other blog|| @lured-into-wonderland Send 'Date or Pass' and the receiving muse will answer truthfully if they'd date the sending muse or not.

What sort of oddities is the mun up to this time? The ex-assassin sighs and stares at the prompt in front of him. There was an extra note at the bottom that the question was in regards to romantically. Friendly play dating wasn't to be considered.

Pulling out his notebook, he writes a message for the mun to read.

[Deserves better]

To translate what that means, he believed that Nunnally would deserve better than to date someone like him. He came with a lot of baggage, and it wasn't being with him may involve being on the run for many years to come from the mafia.

The tele-prompter in front of the man changes and the man tilts his head in response and writes something else down.

[I don't know]

He currently didn't feel a semblance of love at the current, so he couldn't give an answer. He'd only date someone that he loved. Whether he could come to love Nunnally in the future, he didn't know. For now, he saw her as a good friend.

Hotaru turned towards the man, her head tilted slightly. This guy must be the owner. Well, he seemed nice enough, that was good. “Yeah, I’m better now. I’m glad your guy found me before my cut got infected or whatever.”

Glancing back at the bartender and her ‘hero’, she perked up a bit when she heard the owner call the man by another name. Perhaps it was a slip of the tongue, perhaps not, but Hotaru had heard it.

But there was no reason to bring it up. Not right now, at least.

“Thanks, that means a lot, really.” She looked back at the owner. “Ah, I was wonderin’, if you don’t mind if I stop off here every so often? I…don’t got much money to pay an’ be an actual customer, but maybe I can lend a hand or whatever.”

The owner of this establishment was forgetful on top of clumsy, and he’d slipped his real name a couple of times. To the point that Ravein wondered if there was a point to even having a fake name. No… it didn’t matter, did it? Considering…

“I’m honestly surprised that Ronald picked you up. He normally doesn’t concern himself with other people.” The owner chuckled to himself. “Perhaps you’ve met him somewhere before?” Just like he said, Ravein didn’t concern himself with others, so he would ignore anyone unless he knew them from somewhere.

Considering he was on the run, it was very peculiar for him to look after someone.

“Hm? Oh! Well if you would help out, that would be wonderful. I’m sure that boy would appreciate the company at the very least. Right, Raven?”

He’d grown accustomed to answering to any ‘R’ name, so Ravein looked up from a glass he was polishing and tilted his head to the side curiously. “If she helps out every now and again, wouldn’t you like that?”

The bartender simply stared at the owner and shrugged his shoulders before he continued to polish the glasses. “You heard the boy. It looks like he’d be ecstatic to have you on board!”

❛ what makes you think i’d listen to a word you say ? ❜ ( for Ravein - from the deadly nightshade meme )

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| Meme does specify it's an angst-centered meme so I did my best. All hypothetical since I don't know about setting and all that

Ravein had simply been concerned over her well-being and he tried giving her advice to better her condition, but he was met with what he perceived as animosity.

Though, he found it very easy to see most things directed at him in a negative light.

She had a point. What right did he have to offer anyone any advice or offer any suggestions? Unable to say anything in response (not that he spoke much to begin with), he didn't respond.

Who was he but a man who was on the run from the mafia, responsible for the death of his parents, and had blood on his hands from being an assassin. He had bad life habits that stemmed from his lack of drive to live, and here he was trying to urge her to do better for herself.

There were people who cared about her, and it would be unfortunate to see her gone. Maybe it was because he had no one by his side that he wanted the best for others, for them to strive where he could not. Perhaps he was trying to live vicariously through others, hoping to see someone turn their life around.

Seeing any form of self-destructive habits made him think on himself and all that he'd done, so he ended up stepping out of bounds at times- and this was an instance where it snapped back at him.

He gently places something down next to her, it was a piece of candy. He found that consuming sugar sometimes helped when you were in a foul mood. It wasn't much, but if it could make her feel even an iota better, that was enough for him.

"For you."

His voice cracked as he generally never used his voice to speak, and so it was like his vocal chords were straining themselves to perform an activity long since foreign to them. She was probably the first to hear his voice in a long while, but he thought it fitting as a show of his sincerity, even if she may not know what a rarity it was for him to speak vocally.

To not overstay an unwelcomed presence, he left without another word or gesture.
