((No worries, it's understandable :) I'm patient))

For a moment, Drummle didn't understand. Certainly this girl knew about music, right? And then he realized that she never would have heard it. Drummle felt weak at the thought of never having heard music. Music was life, a way to show emotions in a way that words never could. Without music, life would be simply dreary.
And yet this girl had survived her whole life without it. Extraordinary!
Realizing that he had yet to provide an answer, he tried to figure out a way to put it. Music is many sounds put together in a rhythmic way to make beautiful noise. He had an idea, but wasn't sure it would work. He closed his eyes, bringing up the song he had been composing in his head on the way here. Then, he pressed it gently towards the girl, hoping that she would be able to hear it. This is music. He said dreamily.

The girl tried to interpret Drummle's explanation of music, but struggled with the unfamiliar words and concepts. Then a strange sound came into her head, and while she found it bewildering, caught Drummle's love for that sound. Wary, she focused on it, and after a second or two, started to feel happy. She didn't understand how sound could do that, but it didn't stop her from closing her eyes and sharing in his happiness. Perhaps it was because it was a good song, or perhaps she just found this new world intriguing; whatever the reason, she found herself liking it more and more.
After a second, she suddenly grabbed Drummle's arm, gently mind you, and stared up into his eyes in wonder.
Is...whole word ike dat? she asked, oo ear dat all da time? However incorrect her grammar and pronunciation, it seemed like the girl was getting more comfortable with the concept of mind-speaking.

Gently taking her hand in his, Drummle smiled down at her. Not everyone hears it. He spoke directly into her mind. But for me, yes, it is there all the time. That was actually something I have been composing. It's not finished though."
He paused for a moment, and suddenly his stomach growled. What would you like to eat? He asked. I'm sure I can find somewhere for us to eat around here, and I'm becoming quite famished.

The girl smiled at Drummle as he took her hand; a warm feeling washing through her when she saw him smile down at her. She listened to him eagerly, and somehow understood instantly how he felt about this...music. Her interest was piqued on mention that he had created the music he had shown her. She wondered how it could not be finished, since it sounded so wonderful to her. Just as she was about to speak back, he spoke again. She blinked, and tried to make sense of what he was saying. Slowly she understood, when she realized that 'famished' meant 'hungry'. With her smile widening, she nodded, stepping forward and pulling his hand gently. When she had pulled him into motion, she fell into step beside him. None of the other silent figures around her interested her anymore. It was like the world had been gray and then he came, the splash of color. Blue, she decided. Something about him just said...blue.
Will yoo pay sang foh me? Wan fee-nee-sh'd? Drummle? she asked him, wondering just how beautiful a finished song would be, if she thought so great of what little she had heard. She added his name in, loving the ability to call someone by their name. The ability to know a name.

Drummle walked alongside the girl, enjoying the feeling of her soft hand in his. Without really noticing, he began swinging their arms slightly as they walked. For Drummle, he heard a musical beat everywhere he went, and he always did something to relay that beat in his outward appearance or actions.
The girl spoke again, and Drummle smiled. Of course. Most people aren't interested in music, they're too busy focusing on other things in life. I don't really have many people to share my songs with. I'd be glad to share it with you. He gave her hand another squeeze.
Seeing a restaurant to their left advertizing seafood, his stomach growled. Do you like seafood?

A small blush rose to the girl's cheeks when Drummle started swinging their arms, suddenly aware of the warmth of his hand on hers. Not that she didn't like it...in fact, she was secretly thrilled, and she was starting to believe that it wasn't just because he was the first person to really communicate with her. Just when she thought she couldn't feel any happier, he spoke. By the time he squeezed her hand, her blush was all but faint, and a delighted smile lit up her face. He turned away for a moment, and she followed his gaze, alighting on a large word she could not yet read...properly. She turned back and looked up at him, her smile still there, and nodded happily.
Any-ting fi-een wif me. She just caught herself from saying 'as long as you're here, Drummle' (or her version of saying that), but the conversation being in their minds, she couldn't be sure he didn't catch a drift of the thought. Her blush, which had faded, had sprung back so fast, the girl quickly looked at the ground in embarrassment. A vague thought crossed her mind that only hours before, she wouldn't have ever even thought of being embarrassed or even talking with someone, nevermind that person...the thought flitted away before it finished, as she was once again blushing at the ground.

As long as...

Drummle cocked his head slightly, wondering what she had meant to say. He wanted to ask her, but by the coloring of her cheeks, he figured it was something she would rather not share, so he simply smiled and let it go. Alright then, seafood it is. He dropped her hand momentarily in order to hold the door for her. He was a gentleman in every aspect of his life, and it showed in both his manner and speech.
For some reason, this girl seemed...well, special to Drummle. He would have acted the same with any other girl of course; but he had never looked at any other girl the way he was looking at her now. And no other girl made his heart sing a happy tune the way it was singing now. Drummle quickly shook his head, trying to banish the thought. He had only just met this girl, he couldn't expect a relationship to develope...could he?

((Omahgosh, I totally forgot about this, I'm still traveling :P Sorry!))

The girl looked back up as Drummle let go of her hand. She still didn't know weather or not he heard her thought, but decided to treat it as if he didn't. She smiled as he held open the door for her, and graciously accepted the offer, breezing through the doorway and stopping just inside, giving him enough room to come in behind her. She vaguely saw him shake his head, but did not get the chance to wonder at it as someone approached her. She saw lips move, but the spoke so fast, she could not get anything from the movement. The man spoke again, and she managed to get that it probably had something to do with them getting a table. Confused and nervous about the interaction, she took a step back and turned to Drummle, bewildered. Come to think of it, she had never eaten at a restaurant before...

Ooc: Oh my gosh, I am SOOOOO sorry I haven't been on in so long...I got kicked out of my house, and kinda had a mental breakdown about that...and now I'm probably pregnant, at 18...so yeah. But I'm living with my boyfriend and his family now, and they have better internet than I had, so I should be on often now. Once again, I apologize! With everything going on, I just forgot...

Ic: He couldn't help but watch her as she walked through the door. He couldn't possibly be the only one noticing her beauty, could he? She was just...well, different than anyone else. It wasn't just her looks, but more the aura, the very essence of her that he could somehow sense. As he entered behind her, he saw a worker at the restaurant approach the girl and ask about how many were to be seated. Knowing that it would probably be difficult for her to understand and answer, he went to answer for her. She moved back to allow him to answer, and Drummle smiled warmly at the man speaking. "We'd like a table for two, please." The man, after looking curiously from the girl to Drummle, nodded, grabbed two menus, and led them to a table. Drummle pulled the chair out for the girl, waiting for her to sit before seating himself across from her. Do you know what you want to eat? he asked. They have pretty good shrimp here, and their lobster is good too.

((HOMG, no worries, no worries, you sound like you have enough going on in RL, no pressure on this end, take your time! I've had mental breakdowns before (though for substantially different reasons) but I know they're not pleasant and hard to deal with. If you need to vent to someone...outside of the situation, you can always PM me. You don't need to tell me anything you don't want to, of course. >.> <.< But...yah. o3o))

The girl watched Drummle speak to the man, and was aware of the look the man gave the two of them, but since she was accustomed to the look, she dismissed it. She followed the man to a table and with a bright smile, sat in the seat that Drummle pulled out for her. She had never been treated so...nicely. Yet, she got the feeling that it wouldn't have been the same if it had been someone else pulling out the chair, or holding the door. She looked up at Drummle, who sat across from her as he asked a question. She blinked down at the menu and opened it. With a frown, she realized that she could only read a few words, nowhere near enough to know what was available. With her head angled down as if to read the menu, she glanced at other tables to see what was being served. She didn't really know what "shrimp", or "lobster" were, but she was far to embarrassed to tell Drummle that, plus the fact he would know she couldn't read.
It was not that she didn't trust him, just that after seeing a glimpse of what the world was like, she started to feel out of place in a new way, as inexperienced and incapable as she was. She was suddenly self-conscious and scared, and embarrassed at how much of a child she thought she must seem to Drummle. A small blush rose on her cheeks, and she quickly picked a dish from a table nearby and gestured to the plate holding a hard, red creature that looked part-fish, part-bug.
'ow abah dat? It luk gud. She thought to Drummle, unaware that that plate was one of the ones he had suggested. She gave him a small smile, trying to turn her sudden discomfort into shyness.

((Thanks so much! It means a lot that you'd be willing to talk to me about it and such :) I'm actually doing really well now, though, since I'm away from the stress I had at my old house. But thanks for being here for me! :3 ))

The waiter set two glasses of water before them, and then left to give them some time to decide on their meal. As the waiter retreated, Drummle couldn't help glaring at his back, a bit miffed at his treatment of the girl. Sure, he hadn't openly mistreated her or made fun of her - he was surely too afraid of losing his job to do that. But the way he had looked down his nose at her, standing slightly aloft and acting as if she had some disease that he might catch if he stood too close...it was too much for Drummle.
After a moment, though, he quickly looked away, turning his attention back to the girl. He smiled kindly at her, wondering at the almost perfectly hidden look of confusion on her face. Did she not understand the menu? Should Drummle have explained better to her? He didn't want to embarrass her, but he couldn't leave her unable to order because of his inability to explain correctly.
Just when he was about to offer to read the menu to her, explaining each dish as he went, she picked up a nearby plate holding a lobster on it. Drummle smiled, and nodded. Ah, excellent choice. That's the lobster, it's really quite good. I think I'll have the same. I'll get us an appetizer of shrimp, as well, so that you can try that too.
Noticing the color rising to her cheeks, Drummle couldn't help but raise a hand to gently stroke her cheek. Don't worry about anything, darling. If you need help with anything, just tell me. I promise not to judge or do anything that would make you feel discomfort or embarrassment in any way. The use of the word 'darling' somehow felt a bit more intimate than it usually did to Drummle. He had been raised on endearments such as darling, sweetheart, honey; they were all words that he used when speaking to people. But it seemed different when he used it on this girl...not exactly a bad feeling, but one unknown to Drummle.

((Soooo sorry~ I've been busy, and when I do get on, my muse is like, poof. But I so totally want to continue this! I've seen that you've been on and off for various reasons, so I just want you to know that there's no rush. RL always comes first :) ))

The girl never even noticed the waiter's look, having seen that face so often, it was just a part of the background to her. Nor did she notice, being absorbed in her own thoughts, that Drummle seemed upset by it. After she had picked the plate nearby, he spoke to her and she nodded, somewhat embarrassed that the dish was one of the ones he had suggested. Next thing she knew, his hand was brushing her cheek, sending a warm flush through her body. She did not know what the unfamiliar feeling was, and only had an inkling about the reason why, but the one thing she knew was that she liked it. When he spoke to her, she found herself absorbing the words like a sponge and savouring the sound of his voice. The word 'darling' rang through her mind and she smiled at him.
Tank yoh, Drummle. She whispered to him, trying to stop herself from looking down again. Not from embarrassment or anything this time, but simply from the overwhelming feeling flowing through her. Suddenly, she wished to hear him call her...but he had no way of doing that, since she had no name. Without realizing it, she had taken his hand in her own, playing with his fingers absentmindedly, deep in thought.
She wanted a name now, more than she ever had before, and possibly more than she ever wanted anything. Yet, she still had no idea what to pick. She lightly bit her bottom lip and looked down at Drummle's warm hand in her own. Then something occurred to her. She paused, then looked up at Drummle, with a mix of determination and longing in her eyes.
Drummle. Will yoh nahm me? she asked. Then, feeling that such a sudden request might be a bit much, she looked down at the table. Or...at last 'elp mah coos one.

She seemed to enjoy his touch, and his words, and Drummle was happy for that. He enjoyed touching her, and speaking to her. The act of speaking into someone's mind was not one that Drummle used often, as it was an intimate bond when one's mind touched another. But he felt that it was well worth it to speak to this girl. He only wished that he could hear her voice. Yet he was happy enough to hear it in his mind, and to be able to communicate with her.

As she thanked him, Drummle smiled and bowed his head slightly. You don't need to thank me, he spoke into her mind. Her hand was suddenly on his, and Drummle blushed as she played with his fingers. It sent a warm feeling straight through him, and he began rubbing his thumbs over her fingers, before intertwining their fingers and giving her hand a squeeze.

Her request both surprised and honored him, and his smile brightened. I would be honored to help you, darling. He thought. I don't really know what sort of names you would like though. What kind of things are you interested in? What do you like? I may be able to help you think of names based off of that.

The girl blinked at Drummle's reaction to her request, and then took a moment to absorb what he had said. Then, she smiled, squeezing his hand gently; a flush rising in her cheeks as she realized that his fingers were intertwined with hers. And then, her smiled wavered a bit and she looked down at the table.
I...dun 'ave...in-tuh-rasts... she trailed off, unsure of how to explain how such a thing could be. Then she sent forwards her thoughts of being a child disconnected from the world, mostly making up her own fantasy world instead, with imaginary friends she would explore with. Then she sent thoughts of when she had left her uncaring family and simply wandered the land, going wherever her feet or the winds took her, and living however she could. She had met people along the way who had guessed at her situation, but had no way of communicating, so they could only offer her food and water, occasionally even a warm place to sleep. She had been doing such wandering even today, when fate had brought her to Drummle. She frowned slightly at the table, then looked up at him.
I make...sense? she asked, not even realizing that after listening to Drummle for some time now, she was finally starting to form proper words. Though, it would probably be some time before her sentence structure would improve.

Drummle's mind was still spinning with the images she had sent him. To have lived like that...he didn't think he could have handled it. For a moment, he deviated from the topic at hand to say, You're very strong. You've endured everything life has thrown you, and you've endured it much better than most people I know of would have. You are truly an inspiration to me.

On an impulse, he leaned over and gently kissed her forehead. Yes, I understand. he thought gently. Now I want you to understand something. I don't believe in chance - everything happens for a reason. The fact that we met today, and that we're able to communicate like this...it wasn't chance. And if you let me, I will stay with you as long as you like. So long as you want me to be with you, you will never be alone again.

Feeling rather embarrassed, and hoping that she didn't think him an emotional sap, he smiled sheepishly at her. Anyways, about a name... He thought hard, his brows drawing together thoughtfully. It's hard to think of one without your interests. And I tend to like music a lot, so the names that come to my mind immediately are Melody, Sonata, Sonatina, Harmony, Aria... he shrugged. But I also tend to think of beautiful things when I look at you. He blushed. I think of flowers, beautiful flowers, like roses or lillies. You could take a name like Rose, Rosy, Lilly... He raised his arms desperately. Am I even helping at all?
