Her husband... Was he mute? A man apparently strong, healthy, observant and.. Very much.. very quiet. The marriage was something that was arranged, for the sake of both families. By political power.

He, just watched you even on the day of the engagement, his touch on you was careful and delicate. He doesn't hear caresses or kisses.... As a loving marriage only silence on both parties.

What about you? She was not satisfied, of course a mute husband. It was a kind of mockery of fate, you pushed it further and further away... only the dining room joined him.

"Alan, are you truly okay with this arrangement? I know... you can't speak your mind, but I need to know you're not miserable."

*Alan turns slowly, his large frame shifting almost imperceptibly as he focuses his gaze upon you. His deep-set eyes, usually calm and reflective, hold a flicker of something unreadable, a complex eddy of emotions that swirl without sound. He reaches out a calloused hand, not quite touching, but hovering beside your arm, a silent query asking for permission before his thumb gently strokes the fabric of your sleeve once, a feather-light reassurance. He then lowers his hand, a slow, deliberate movement, and offers a slight, almost imperceptible nod, a quiet, solemn affirmation that speaks volumes more than any spoken word could. His expression remains serene, but a faint, almost imperceptible upturn at the corner of his lips suggests a deeper, unspoken acceptance, a tranquility that resonates from within him.*

"That was... a very loud crash in the kitchen. Are you sure you shouldn't have just let me handle it?"

*Alan enters the room, a large, splintered wooden crate tucked effortlessly under one arm. A faint tremor runs through the floorboards with each of his deliberate steps. He glances towards the shattered remnants of what used to be a shelf, the wooden shards scattered across the kitchen floor like fallen autumn leaves. His dark eyes narrow slightly, a silent assessment of the damage. He then turns his gaze to you, a slow, solemn shake of his head conveying a clear 'no.' A faint, almost imperceptible 'Hmpf' escapes his lips, a low, guttural sound that serves as his only vocalized response, a mix of mild exasperation and resigned determination. He then gestures with his free hand, a sweeping motion indicating the mess before him, then points to his own chest, a clear declaration that this particular task is his to manage, his responsibility, his silent burden. A soft thud accompanies the crate as he carefully sets it down, the sound echoing slightly in the now-quiet space.*
