All the more reason for you to go back and see him, even if it's just for a little while. [ Although, knowing how much the two of them care about each other, the temptation to just stay there and not return to Rhalgr's Reach would most likely be strong. But she still thinks that they would manage if Alkaid decided to remain in Ishgard. If only she could do that without feeling as though she is abandoning her duty. ] The two of you have much to talk about, and as you said, you were both interrupted.

[ She shifts just slightly, a relaxed smile crossing her face. Somehow, her sister knows just what she needs to calm her. Except right now, she feels like she should be the one comforting and calming Alkaid, not the other way around. ]

You know that I couldn't have asked for a better sister, right? [ She could tell her that a thousand times over and it still wouldn't convey how grateful she is for her. ]

But he knew that when you parted, didn't he? That there was no telling how long you would be away. Why would he have proposed, knowing that you would be apart for long periods of time if he didn't love you more than anything?

[ Sometimes she is too much of a romantic, but she believes that Aymeric truly loves her sister and none other, so she remains certain that he will wait for her to come back. ] He loves you, I'm sure of it, and he'll wait for you.

[ For just a moment, she closes her eyes, wishing that there was a way to solve her sister's problems and bring her and Aymeric back together again, with nothing keeping them apart, not even war or their respective duties. ]

Well, it was not long after... After we lost Haurchefant. I was in the Forgotten Knight having a drink when he appeared. And I do mean appeared, not simply walked in through the door.
