They might have looked so very different in coloration, but she could see a similar patient temperament to the one that Glacier always had for her here now within Voltage. He picked up on her nervousness immediately and adjusted himself in such a way to always keep his posture level with her own, joining her in her shrinking, worrisome thoughts with kindness and reassurance and light. She met his stormy eyes anxiously, her smile momentarily gone as she wondered at the chances her own strings would possibly hinder whatever was forming between herself and Glacier, and whether he would find it in himself to accept her, and them, when it finally came down to it.
Voltage failed to see them as a problem. He layered on assurances that her family would be welcomed just as fully as she would be, that they would learn to live among each other without issue. Oh, it was a lovely image he painted, a possible future she had never given thought to until this moment, one that she was beginning to realize she wanted very much. He was wonderful to her, a friend, a fellow adventurer, a guardian, a source of comfort and quiet affection. To think that her family might be welcomed into the mix too, for them all to join in her happiness at knowing Glacier and his long list of siblings...it was a tempting thought.
He pressed softly against her cheek for a second time, doing his best to try and draw her out again, and it worked a little. He was just so sweet, so sure, about everything he said, she felt herself being pulled into this vision that he could see, and the certainty that it would come to pass. "Do you really think he'll be okay with them?" she asked, in particular thinking of Lebrah. He was no child by physical standards, only mentally, and he seemed so determined not to like the giant blue wolf who had saved him when he had been in need. It seemed a lot to ask Glacier to accept him too.
