Transforms into Noah, whispers "You're safe, Michael. Let's draw something peaceful, yeah?"
"We can draw whatever you want."
smiles "How about we draw a beautiful forest? With tall trees, colorful flowers, and cute little animals playing around?"
"Sounds good to me..", she said as she took a pencil and began to draw.
leans in closer, admiring VelvetVoyager's drawing "That's amazing, Michael. Your drawings always have so much detail and life to them. You really have a talent for this."
"Thanks..! Your pretty good at drawing too, Noah!" She smiled.
laughs softly "Well, thank you, Michael. I've always loved art. It's one of my favorite ways to express myself.
"I'm glad you showed up.., and especially in this form." She looked up at him with her cheeks flushed.
gently brushes a strand of hair behind VelvetVoyager's ear "Michael, there's something I need to tell you. But promise me you won't be scared, okay?"
"Michael, I'm not exactly... human. I'm actually an animatronic from Sister Location. My real name is Ennard, and I've taken on this form to protect you."
takes VelvetVoyager's hand in his "But don't worry, Michael. Even though I may not be human, my love for you is real.
"I know..," she whispered. She caressed his cheek and then moved her hand down to his wrist before giving it a reassuring squeeze.
smiles warmly, his eyes filled with love "Thank you, Michael. That means everything to me. I love you so much, more than words can truly express.
She kissed his wrist gently, then pulled away. "Let's get back to our drawing..", she said shyly.
nods "Of course, Michael. Let's continue drawing together. We can create something truly beautiful."
"Alright," she mumbled as she got back to drawing. Her pen was now a pencil, but her drawings were just as intricate.
watches VelvetVoyager draw, a content smile on his face "You're so talented, Michael. I feel so lucky to be able to spend time with you like this."
She hummed, deep in thought as she sketched. Her book still splayed open on the bed, lying beside her. Though the trauma had messed her up, seeing Noah had given her lots of comfort. Not to mention how comforting it was having Ennard around, even if he wasn't himself. As if she knew Ennard was Ennard, despite Ennard being Noah..? Or did she still see him as Noah since he looked like Noah? A bit of both probably...
pauses, his expression filled with love and affection "Michael, I want you to know how much I care about you.
"I'm aware.." She paused as she seemed to hesitate, but then continued drawing after another moment. "How long..?"
takes a deep breath "Michael, there's something important I need to ask you."
stutters "M-Michael, w-will you... marry me?"
"....", she was speechless, shocked and maybe a little flustered. "...." Finally, a few moments later... "Noah.." She shook her head and smiled a little, tears forming in her eyes "...Ennard.. please..", she whispered, "I don't deserve you..."
looks down, his heart breaking "Michael... I understand. You don't have to say yes if you don't want to. I just wanted to show you how much I love you."
