[Salieri's expression softens, at that. Determination turning into something that could even be called affectionate.]
...I'll help you. I'll show you exactly what to do; what will make it go the fastest. [he can hear the thunder rumble outside, and there's a flicker in the window of lightning, but his voice is quiet and steady as he sings, comforting:]

Date: 2021-06-30 01:28 am (UTC)...I'll help you. I'll show you exactly what to do; what will make it go the fastest. [he can hear the thunder rumble outside, and there's a flicker in the window of lightning, but his voice is quiet and steady as he sings, comforting:]
Don't you fret, mon cher Discorde,
I won't feel any pain.
[he steps close, other hand coming up to take Discord's, cradling it gently]
A little fall of rain
Could hardly hurt me now.
You're here...that's all I need to know.
[he looks down at their hands, a very small smile curling the corner of his mouth]
And you will keep me safe,
And you will keep me close--
[a flash of lightning, a boom of thunder, and Salieri closes his eyes, leaning forward to rest his head against Discord's chest, breathing him in]
And rain...will make the flowers grow.
