[ He can't help but feel as though he could spend a hundred years trying to find ways to express how he feels about her, how much he loves her, and it still would not be enough. Regardless, he means to start with that particular endeavor this evening, as soon as the chance presents itself.
And perhaps he will never be able to fully shed those titles, but just as he dreamt that one day, peace would return to Ishgard, that seems like a far-off dream to him. Only, unlike the arrival of peace, that might not ever be realized. ]
And I await that time quite eagerly, Mistress Alkaid. [ He has grown used to not using titles to address her, but there are times when it just seems to feel right, and not only because they might be being observed by people passing by.
When she drags him along as she moves to look at each tree, he follows willingly and without hesitation. This is one of his favorite things to do during the celebration, and it is even more special now with her there to enjoy it with him.
His face lights up when he sees what she is pointing out to him, and one hand carefully reaches out to lightly touch the dragon ornament. Even Ishgard's children have seen too much of war, and with its ending, he remains hopeful that they have a chance for a real childhood and a future with peace and no more fighting. He would move mountains to make sure that future remains intact for each individual person who calls Ishgard their home.
Not even bothering to hide the joyous look on his face, he turns to look at her, beyond glad to see a similar look on her face as well. ]
