C'Leena was hoping for a positive response, but not quite like this. It took her a second to register Nephele trying to tackle her before C'Leena wrapped her into an equally tight embrace. C'Leena remained seated for but a moment as Nephele pulled back before she stood up and held her again, whispering "No, you don't. You're gonna stay right here, and there's nothing you can do about it."
She remains in the hug for as long as it takes as she lightly sways the both of them. In a gentle, loving tone, she continues to whisper. "Nephele, if it is what you wish, I will play you every song under the sun until the stars wink out from the night sky. I will compose thousands of songs until you find your favorite if it means I can hold you for but a moment longer.
"You don't need to apologize for anything. I love you, Petal. Forever and Always." C'Leena would pull back slightly from the embrace, still holding onto Nephele as she reaches into a pocket and pulls out a fresh piece of cloth that is usually reserved for maintenance of her prosthetics. C'Leena gently cleans Nephele up, then wipes off her shoulder before stuffing it back into her pocket and re-enter the hold.
"You know, if you're at all interested, I'd be happy to teach you sometime. Perhaps one day we can have our own place that we can return to, and I can teach you how to play." C'Leena is unsure on why music means so much to Nephele, but she's more than happy to oblige if she asks.
But right now? Nothing means more to her than this moment. C'Leena feels like she just wrote a moment in her history book that will never be forgotten, just as Nephele has written a moment in C'Leenas book with the pendant. A brief memory surfaces in her mind. One of a familiar face.

"Cece, can you do something for me? Not right this moment, but sometime in the future?"
"Hm? Sure, what is it?"
"Find someone who you love more than anything. Someone who you'll play your music for and they love you for it. Someone who will ugly-cry into your shoulder and not care about anything else in the world. Can you do that?"
"...I'll try."

I've done it, Flower. I did what you asked.
C'Leena sinks into the hold and begins lightly sobbing, uncaring of the rest of the world.
