paint me the sounds of memory

It wouldn't be untrue to say Voltage wasn't surprised when Serefina appeared infront of him, or that he actually jumped. His mind was so much on other things that he had failed to even notice her there, or her arrival, and that had never happened before. It hurt, that very thought, he didn't want things to change. He watched as she emotion shuddered across her face, as it flickered with the colors of her flame, and he knew the same was shining in his own eyes. He couldn't allow for anything to change, not really, but things would. When she began to speak, his heart felt like it was about to break, and he had to take a quick breath to hold it in.  "Sere..." He whispered, not to interupt her but rather to show that he was listening. And he was. Everything she said was something that he had thought of rather recently.

With a gentle shake of his head he took a single step forward, raising his paw to motion her closer. He wanted to hug her, hold her close to him, just as he had always done, but he knew that when she got like this it was hard to get close at times.  "Who said I was leaving? I don't want anything to change." He said softly, his voice tight as he looked upon his sister.  "But it will, things will change, and they have too. Your siblings are finding wolves they want to bring into their lives, and I am no different. But no one, no one will ever replace you, or shadow your place in my heart. You are still me very best fire princess.." He couldn't let this change their relationship, or his place in Serefina's life. He couldn't let either of them go, and he wouldn't allow it.

"No matter what, sister, you are always my number one. And I will always be here to help you. I don't know why you'd think any different." He said with a small but sad grin, shifting closer to her again, wanting nothing more than to embrace her, to show her physically that he would always be here. Always, for her.  "I will never leave you alone, Serefina. Not again. I've already lost too much time without you..."
