Wishful Thinking

When silence easily settled between them Voltage was no longer overly worried it was because she was being awkward or upset or confused. Instead, it felt as if his work was all done now, and he had managed to clear away some of the fog that surround his steadfast brother and the little mouse he had brought into their lives. He merely sat where he did, smiling to himself (and for her aswell, of course), watching as emotion flittered through her. He was happy for his brother, oh so happy, and he hoped to the heavens that something amazing would come from this. When no words came from the girl but a thank you, he laughed softly and shook his head. "Don't even mention it."

He said with a laugh, shaking his head and taking a single step back, grinning down at her, almost reluctant to leave this place and the girl that his brother had found. "Promise you'll visit? We'd all love to show you our home, now that we've all settled in..."
