Wishful Thinking

He grinned brightly as she almost seemed to glow at the news. Or at least, that's what she thought as he watched her. They all came with Glacier, just as he expected whomever he chose to accept his family. It was all part and parcel, but he wouldn't have it any other way. And it seemed this woman would be accepted whole heartedly and had already nearly accepted them. With a toothy grin he would lean forward in an attempt to nudge his nose to her cheek, laughing under his breath. She certainly was something else it seemed. But then, the conversation took an unexpected, but should have been seen, turn. Of course she had other family, and it seemed just as close as the elementas were to each other. He smiled inwardly, praising his brother. It was an added plus to her character that she appreciated family as well as they. But the news made her shrink in herself again, and his stormy eyes grew wider. "Oh, no no little lady." He said softly, shrinking himself to be at her eye level and offering her a gentle smile. "Please don't worry, I hate to see you with any expression but what I had seen. You deserve to smile, Anais, please don't worry." He whispered so gently, smiling tenderly to the girl as he shifted closer, as if to tell her a secret. His voice dropped to an almost whisper aswell, his head tilting just slightly. "It would be very selfish of us all to expect you to accept us and refuse to accept the ones you love as well. I am all for the family growing, so long as we don't scatter. Please don't worry, little bird, everyone will get along." He hoped. It was expected with such an array of personalities that some wouldn't get along with others, but as a whole he hoped that it would eventually make his family stronger. "Please don't worry, little love...no harm will come" He wanted to raise her up, because she deserved to stand tall, and be happy, and he could already tell that Glacier seemed to bring that side out of her. With a delicate smile he moved to nudge her again, tenderly, as he tried to comfort the girl and ease her mind.
