If Randall thought he was about to cry before, then he was veering dangerously close to outright sobbing at Emily’s words, and it took a great deal of effort on his part not to do just that, as he tried his damndest to wrap his head around what she was telling him. Did she really mean that? Did she really believe that he was so amazing with his musical prowess? Did he really amaze her so much?

Of course, there was the part of him that nagged him, scoffing at these words, that little voice that was so certain she was lying to him, secretly thinking he was an awful composer, a dreadful singer, and a terrible musician, but for once, he found himself silencing that little voice, so caught up in the euphoria of her words that the inner voice was drowned out. For once, he didn’t believe that little voice, being instead so touched by her wonder, her admiration, that he was struggling not to burst out in joyous tears. So unfamiliar was he with such praise, he hardly knew what to say!

And he told her so, after taking a few moments to gather himself to keep from exploding with emotion (the last thing he needed was for him to break out into childish tears as something as simple as being told he was good at his craft), still blinking back the tears as he managed to choke out, “Th-Thank you, Emily, th-thank you...! I...I don’t know what to say o-other than...thank you!” He didn’t know if he had some natural-born knack for music or if it was just his own perseverance or something somewhere in between, but clearly, it was something worth celebrating in her eyes.

(Honestly, he much preferred to think it was his own hard work that made him so good at music...how cruel would it be for the Lord to give him such a horrible face, and yet have him make the most beautiful music, he thought to himself? Surely, if he were not the Devil’s Child, he was at least cursed by him at birth-the world will love the music you make, but not you yourself!)

#((no kidding! had he done this while he was the consequences probably wouldn't have been good for either him or emily)) #((seeing as that would out them as having a secret relationship and there'd be a TON of ugly fallout as a result)) #((so yeah-being dead was probably the best way for him to be able to barge into the church without getting automatically jumped!)) #((but even so; it's still gonna be heartbreakingly angsty as randall realizes what's going on and that he really didn't survive)) #((and emily has to have the revelation that the man she loves is undead and now they're probably gonna have the whole town)) #((coming after him with torches and pitchforks!! total 'frankenstein' moment!!)) #((i think it's defidently gonna come down to him and emily having to go on the run together-from there i don't what'll happen next)) #((but i'm nevertheless SUPER interested to find out!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Phantasm of the Mansion
