[I've gotta take a little time A little time to think things over...
But he doesn't have time. None of them really do. At any moment- any day- they could lost someone else. They've seen it happen now with Mumble...Sissi...Connor. It could happen again just as easily. Time is the one thing they can't rely on being a constant.
Varian's hands shift in Rina's, moving until his thumbs are against the backs of her hands, brushing over her knuckles. They're so small in his.
He knows why she's telling him this now.]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again Can't stop now, I've traveled so far To change this lonely life
[He lifts her hands as he steps a little closer, close enough that the space between them is still comfortable, but close. It also gives him the room to let one of her hands rest against his chest so she can feel how fast his heart is hammering, so Rina can tell she's not the only one who's nervous here.]
I wanna know what love is I want you to show me I wanna feel what love is I know you can show me
[He brings her other hand that he's still holding to his lips, which feels immediately cheesey and like maybe he shouldn't have but it's too late now.
When he speaks without singing, finally, his voice is very quiet.]
