Diana POV
Hold (Sound)
He's usually clear about what he means when he talks, and what worries her is when he isn't, when he hesitates - holding back, just as he does with touching her. The difference being she understands perfectly well why he won't risk invading her personal space, but she doesn't know why he doesn't say whatever he’s thinking on those occasions. It isn't even that he doesn't say what he means, it's that he simply doesn't give her anything to go on apart from that lack of words, the gap in his natural flow of conversation. It's rare, but whenever it happens, she's unnerved, perhaps because anything that can change his usual friendly banter into an abrupt awkward silence leaves her scared. What is it that panics him, her always calm Marco? What sets his stomach ill at ease, causes him to worry so? She has an inkling, but she doesn't really want to know if it's true, doesn't entirely want it to be. She doesn't like the thought of it, of it being so serious for him. Instead, she concentrates on listening to his pleasant voice and hopes it doesn't happen again too soon.
