i'll save you an echo from the hall

Voltage merely held her close, nuzzling her fur and holding her tight. It wasn't that he was at a loss for words, he just held her, humming his soft lullaby. There wasn't much he could do in this moment but allow her to cry, and he would smile warmly as she seemed to settle after his words. He sighed softly as he turned his head in the other direction, resting his cheek atop her head and hugging her closer. Stormy eyes closed slowly. His heart hurt for this woman, and he wanted desperately to know why she cried, but he stayed quiet, somehow unsure of how to go about this. He slowly breathed in, almost as if to pull in her scent and her sorrow. He wanted to pull it all in, to take it from her so she wouldn't have to feel it anymore, but that's not how life work. Life needed you to be sad, to feel your emotions, to process them, and that meant she had to feel sad.

When she started up again, her sobbing picking up into the furs of his neck, he would pull away, to try and look down at her. This wasn't the same crying, was it? With a gentle smile he would try and push his nose against her, to lick and kiss her tears away. (Respectable boundaries be damned) "It will hurt..." He whispered so softly. "But I can help you, any way you wish for me too." With a small sigh he'd nuzzle her, stormy eyes closed as her emotion washed over him again and again. In this exact moment, he felt as if this were his life purpose, his destiny. His entire story had been written to find this girl, and soothe her aching heart, and he would do everything in his power to help her over this. "But please, tell me, why is it you cry so?" He asked softly, still unaware of exactly why she was sad, why she felt so hurt that she would sob in his shoulder. He knew of the emotions, and how to take them, but he didn't know the motive, the reason, the catalyst. Why did she cry? Was it really important to him, why? Perhaps not, if she didn't wish to share her history he wouldn't push untill she were ready. "You don't need to tell me if you don't wish too.." He would whisper, his nose sliding close to her ear as he pulled her close again, nuzzling into her fur.
