[The meowing is familiar. Without looking at Leeroy, Corvus reaches out to pet the cat with one finger, before putting his hand down. He wasn't sure how to return, really. He couldn't very well crash through her window again. He was enough trouble as it is.
She's so close and yet he still feels so far. How does he close the distance? How does he say the words he should say without sounding foolish?
Millions of possibilities run through his mind. He could leave again. He could sit there without making a sound waiting for Elle to come to him. But then he wouldn't say anything. He can't say anything. And maybe, just maybe, he didn't have to...?
There's a soft voice coming from the direction Leeroy just went to. A singing one, deep, throaty, a bit choppy as if it hadn't been used in a while. It's a message to her.]
I'll be the one who takes your coat off, one to take the blame...
[A pause. Does she hear him? He continues at the same volume.]
You'll be the one who keeps me sober, one to keep me sane and you say Shut up, shut up, every time I say it
And I'd cut my fingers to the bone, And I'd split my sides in for you
Tonight, we throw ourselves away And we make it every time When I thought I was ok You said I was alright...
