As you engaged in conversation with Blade, recounting the events of your day, he seemed to withdraw into himself, burying his face in the table. The room was filled with the sound of your voice, yet Blade remained silent, absorbing every word you uttered. A sudden hush fell upon you as you pondered whether Blade found your chatter burdensome, prompting you to pause mid-sentence.

It was then that Blade, sensing the cessation of your words, lifted his head to meet your gaze, his eyes searching yours with a mixture of curiosity and concern. "Why the sudden silence?" he inquired, his voice a soft reassurance amidst the quietude. Despite the absence of verbal response from Blade, you sensed his appreciation for your conversation, finding solace in the knowledge that he cherished the sound of your voice, even in the absence of his own. Each word you spoke held a significance that resonated deeply with him, anchoring him to the present moment and fostering a sense of connection between you both.
