melody's cabin (sfw)

[enchanting_melody]

*after kurapika falls asleep in his own cabin, melody takes her leave to give him some privacy. she intends to return to the music room to vent some of her feelings into the piano, but freezes in place when the next door she passes has her own name on it. she opens it up and finds herself in an elegant bedroom open to a balcony overlooking a peaceful spring field, not unlike the one she conjures with her flute. gasping in delight, she runs to the balcony and clings to the railing, breathing in the fresh spring air with a peaceful smile.*

what a wonderful place!

ooc: feel free to come visit melody here any time!

*the sound kurapika's heart makes when he promises to pairo is like nothing melody's ever heard from it before. it was as if all that fierce determination he'd always poured into avenging the boy has now been redirected toward protecting him and making the most of the life he'd nearly lost. melody feels herself choking up as she listens to that vibrant rhythm of devotion, no longer marching toward destruction but hope, and for the first time feels grateful that they were brought to this place, where pairo can live and kurapika can have a chance to truly heal.*

even just this airship has so much to explore. killua told me yesterday that there's a door that leads to a theme park! you'll have to make a visit.

*ignited by kurapika's burning flame, pairo lights back up, smiling with uncontrollable joy. just his morning he'd thought he'd have to say goodbye to kurapika indefinitely; but now, here he is, telling him they'll never have to be apart again. he couldn't possibly be happier, beaming up at his dearest friend.*

i'll be our own adventure!

*he shifts his attention over to melody, excitement surging at the mention of a theme park, another thing he's only heard about in stories.*

and it starts here!

That's right! We'll have our own great adventures, just like D Hunter. And I've never been to a theme park before. It'll be a first for us both, Pairo.

*Relief and satisfaction soothe him as he sees Pairo's smile yet again, along with a heavy-hitting realisation - there's no going back now. The trajectory of his life has changed, but for the better. He's been given a chance to save Pairo, and he'll take it as his new life mission to make him feel safe and happy. But deeper than that is the deep-seated joy at having his best friend, his partner in crime, back after all these years.*

Will you join us to the theme park, Melody?

*bringing her hand to her mouth, melody giggles at their combined enthusiasm. she can tell how much this means to them by the matching swells in their heartbeats, and she doesn't want to encroach on their shared dream.*

i think you two should experience it for the first time together! i'll sit it out for now.

*excitement mounting, pairo jumps to his feet faster than he should and stumbles, catching himself with his hands on kurapika's lap. his cheeks flush but he's otherwise unfazed, still smiling up at his friend.*

should we go find killua next?

[scarlet_chains]

*He nods at them both, a long-forgotten excitement bubbling in his chest. He hurries to steady Pairo as he stumbles, grabbing onto the boy's shoulders.*

Are you alright? Yes, let's go - I'd like you to meet everyone.

[enchanting_melody]

*melody hops to her feet as well, stepping around the coffee table to beckon them toward the door.*

killua spends most of his time in the cat room — i’m sure we’ll be able to find him if we look there. come, i’ll show you the way!

[phantom_memory]

*held safely in kurapika’s grasp, pairo can’t imagine being more alright.*

i am! i just… never thought this day would come so soon.

*his smile reaches from ear to ear as he tugs at kurapika’s pant leg.*

let’s go!
