[ He didn’t smile often, and now he does even if, comparatively speaking, he has fewer reasons to smile with the future looming over him.
The mood hasn’t diminished. She’s only become sentimental as usual, effected by kindness and the goodness she sees in others, including him. There’s something clouded about her gaze, or perhaps unfocused as she looks over his expression as if she’s debating saying— or doing— something else.
She’s musing many things, in fact— inquiring why he may not have smiled as much during his formative years, for one. Or with how close he is with her, she can see that subtle glow within his eyes again, her own reflection with them as well. She also thinks of his embellishment of skulls, of where, when, and why he first thought of using them upon his clothing. Where that inspiration came from, if he had smiled to himself when he first embellished his jacket, instead of others. Then she thinks of his smile again, what she’s seen here, and her gaze drops to his lips.
It’s subconscious, but she’s already moved closer to him; between them, their warmth is trapped.. but not uncomfortable. Her voice drops to a meaningful whisper. ]
