Mhmh. [ she hums her response, smile softening a little at the warmth in his tone, the gentleness there.
he's got the kind of voice that invites people to listen, that'd be easy to lose herself in, especially when it warms like that. ]

( call it a point of curiosity for him. despite all that's happened, his parents built up a love of learning in him that no amount of trauma or upset can scrub out.
