Her Voice
Her voice was like bells. Yeah, chiming bells. It was soft and lilting, melodious and whimsical, as it drifted through the breeze. Not even birds could rival the sweet symphony that left her lips every time she sang, the lightness in her voice only being alike to clouds afloat in the sky. But even then the clouds, with their puffy and water-based nature, were still too low and mortal to meet the wonderful ethereal sensation that was her voice.
Elizabeth's singing was magical. Otherworldly. Just the sound of her humming was enough to draw Meliodas in like a dog being teased with a pretty fine bone. In fact all Elizabeth had to do was speak and he'd be fixed on every single word that left those pretty pink lips of hers, his attention caught and wrapped right around her dainty little finger. To Meliodas, Elizabeth's voice may as well be the divine law that he must obey. It was something he always knew he would listen to, even if he lost himself to the infinite abyss of corruption and darkness.
And he didn't seem to be the only person to think so too.
The blonde peered into the room to confirm his suspicions and was right to believe that he wasn't alone on the Elizabeth theory. In fact he was a hundred percent correct, the cries that had been emerging from the room having died into a calm silence within a matter of seconds.
She sat within a rocking chair, peaceably nestling the still bundle in her arms. Gentle humming had filled the air, guiding and tuneful as the familiar melody of a lullaby reached Meliodas' ears. Like always Elizabeth sounded like home - peace - warm and welcoming like a fire that was tenderly flickering away on a cold winter's eve. It was something you could never walk away, only slowly sink into. It was light and squishy like a marshmallow big enough to be an entire mattress.
Something Meliodas could never tire of, except Elizabeth's smile, was her singing. It was something he could listen to for days on end. He could even fall asleep to it right now...
"Meliodas?" Elizabeth's voice left in a soft whisper, her blue eyes blinking as the blonde did not stir at all. Her brows furrowed slightly, not wanting to wake the babe she had just put back to sleep. "Have you fallen asleep again?"
At the lack of response a small sigh left her lips, the goddess shaking her head as this happened all the time.
Setting her now sleeping child back down, Elizabeth made her way towards the blonde.
Once again Meliodas had drifted to sleep leaning against the doorway! He was standing up too, his body fixed into a position that was surely not comfortable at all. However this wasn't really a surprise to the goddess, the past few times this had happened supplying her with all the knowledge she needed to resolve the issue without causing too much trouble. It always happened whenever she used the little trick of infusing her powers with her singing. The trick was meant to cause a state of tranquility among anyone who heard it, but oddly enough it also made them fall asleep if they relaxed a little too much.
Comically, that included Meliodas (even though she had told him about it numerous times).
"Next time I'm doing this when you're out of earshot..." Elizabeth sighed, knowing all too well that even if she did Meliodas would still fall asleep. It was just the sound of her voice, her soft, silvery voice, and he could never get enough of it.
