"Could you maybe sing for me sometime? I've never heard a Cancion sing... but I've heard they have the most beautiful voices ever."
At this, Hiro smiled brightly and nodded. He simply couldn't resist a request to sing. Then, he turned around, crawled up on the crate, and peeked outside through the window. The coast is clear. It should be easy enough to sneak up on the mages, since I don't really have any magic to speak of....well, until I sing, anyway. Opening the window quietly, he slipped out and crawled onto the grass. He stood up, dusting himself off, and saw a trio of mages practically right in front of him. Luckily, thier backs were turned, so this gave Hiro the perfect chance to execute his plan.
He began to sing a lullaby, the very one his mother used to sing to him when he was little.
O little one
My precious dear
Close your eyes
Sleep now, dream
Dream of a world that exists
Together, forever, giving peace,
Peace, to the ones who fight
Peace, to the ones who fall
Peace, to the ones who tear us apart
But most of all, peace to you, my heart.
Let those who fight us
Become our friends,
Let those who fall
Be honored, praised,
Let those who tear us apart
Bring us together, forever,
But most of all
Let you, my heart, dream.
As Hiro sang the last note, he suddenly realised he was crying. He heard the mages slump to the ground, but for a moment, all he could do was stand there and wipe his tears away. He simply couldn't help it; it happened every time he sang that lullaby, that reminder of his mother from so long ago. The last thing he had left of her...her music. For a moment, Hiro took the time to say a prayer to his mother before continuing.
I miss you....
Shaking his head, Hiro went back to the window and opened it again. He reached his hand inside and put a thumbs up to tell Shinku that she didn't need to cover her ears anymore.
Pandora held his mask, so that he could catch it when Aria untied the knot. Once it was done, Pandora slowly lifted the mask off, still turned away. As his blonde hair fell in front of his face, he turned back to Aria. He lifted a hand to push some of the hair out of his face, revealing his dark, emerald green eyes.
"...Thank you." He told her. He noticed that she had moved back to her original seat after helping him. She's thoughtful... It was very rare for him to smile at all, but the thought almost made him smile. However, there was still something he had been wanting to ask...
"Now you see me as I am, and I, you." He said, looking her in the eyes. "Now, there is no need of frivolities. Tell me, did you agree to this marriage?"
