[Hope's voice is clear and clipped.]

If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

If you would like. Have you spoken to Love? They stay in their original form all the time. That's what we all look like, so mine isn't anything surprising.

[puzzlingly]

Yeah, I would. You're are not them, I doubt you're as pink.

action.

[lingeringhope]

No. It is a lovely color, but I like mine better.

[So he changes - there's no transformation, he just changes from one form to another instantly. One moment he appears human, the next he looks very similar to Love - a large, sparkling, glowing amorphous cloud-like mass. It's true, he's not pink. He's a delicate lavender color instead.]

「Oh... Okay, he was not expecting that. AND HE LOVES THE COLOR! Sparkles, yes... it's all he ever wished for. It's hard to hide his delight at the view, if this sparkly cloud has learned anything from human expressions over the years.」

I don't know why I imagined you to be silver colored. But this one is just as good.

「Can he touch him? Can he? He attempts to do it anyway...」

[Wow rude! Hope flashes for a moment, bright colorless light, and disappears, returning to his human form. You probably should have asked first, Atem.]

I trust that is enough for you.

「Oh no! He often doesn't have the need to ask for things, he never did in his life, why start now? He retrieves his hand as if he were to get burned.

But there hardly is any disappointment in his features.」

Thank you.

[lingeringhope]

You are welcome. Is there anything else you require?

action.

[puzzlingly]

Nope.

「And he proceeds to take his leave from the temple. Only turning back a little moment to add:」

Don't be a stranger, Hope.

「If... that means anything to him, yeah.」
