Smiling brightly as the young boy chose a painting, Alver set the others back in place, gingerly holding the chosen painting in the cloth it was wrapped in and held it out to Luke. [color=silver]"Awe that is a good choice. You're Papa was quite excited back when he was talking about it. I think he had a wonderful time there, helped him relax a little."[/color] the albino said, his mind briefly wandering back to that time. Miky always either loved talking about what he saw during his spells, or he was just quiet and didn't talk at all. But when he was talking, it was like a motor running at the highest velocity. People found it annoying, but Alver was always enchanted. Like listening to a beautiful siren sing one of their enchanting songs. The memory made the tall man's heart flutter in his chest for but a moment. Remembering how they were as kids, both of them small compared to the others, Alver even smaller since he was technically younger, yet he acted a little more mature. Well... maybe. He was childish as well at times. Yet, he still tried to act like the grown up and take care of everyone. Miky, he always felt like he wanted to. Such a beautiful flower that smelled so sweet.

It reminded him of why he fell in love with the strawberry blonde oh so long ago.

Alver's eyes slightly saddened a little, the happy memory coming with the saddening memory of when they parted. The last they saw each other until recently. That silly confession... he was stupid and naive. He should have known better. And he still hated himself for that and what that did to him. Shaking the memory aside, he made another smile to Luke. [color=silver]"It's now all yours Luke, take good care of it for me alright?"[/color] he said warmly before glancing toward the clock, brushing his hand along the blonde hair of the child.

[color=silver]"Alright, how about we take a little nap until your Papa comes along mhm? I could tell you a story or sing you a lullaby if you like."[/color] Alver chirped, perhaps enjoying babying someone too much, but it did remind him of the good ol' days. He knew it couldn't last, so he might as well enjoy it while he can.
