*that singsong voice and mischievous skip to her heartbeat only worries melody even more, but she realizes that she’s said all she can say and it’s time to back away.*

i don’t mean to meddle in your affairs. i just wanted to offer a word of advice.

*she concerns herself with the piano again, eyes on the keys.*

we don’t know how long we’ll be stuck on this airship, and i just want it to remain a peaceful place while we’re here.
