[ His only wish is to be wherever she is, but no amount of wishing will change the reality that is before them both. He did rather enjoy meeting the Moogles, so he would not mind paying another visit to them, and neither would he mind seeing what they have managed to accomplish. But anywhere in Eorzea that they might go would be just fine by him.
He hopes that the depth of his affections for her is obvious, because he has well and truly fallen in love with her to the point that he would sacrifice anything for her. Perhaps not his duty to Ishgard, because in his mind, that would be the ultimate betrayal, but if it came down to saving her and prolonging his own life, he would not hesitate to make that sacrifice.
Would he rather remain at her side for the rest of their natural lives? Of course. He does not wish to lose her or be separated from her for anything in the world, and yet if her life or that of her sister's was in danger, he would put himself on the line for them.
It is with that thought in mind that he leans in even closer to her, smiling as she presses her nose against his cheek once again. ]
How fitting, then, that I have such a gift from you. And might I say that you are a gift yourself, a gift that I scarcely deserve. And lest you begin to fret, I would not wish to be parted from you or from Ishgard. But if I had to shield you from harm, I would do it without a second thought.
[ It is the conundrum of being in love, or so it seems. He wishes for them to grow old together, to never be separated for long, and he is loath to place her in a position of needing to go through life without him. It would seem that there is no reconciliation between the two positions, and yet that is where he stands, squarely in the middle.
For the time being, though, there is nothing between them save for the eventual knowledge that they will eventually have to assume their respective positions once more. But for the moment, they can simply be Aymeric and Lantaa, and he means to relish this time without hesitation.
Where she might be thinking about how she must sacrifice being the kind of wife he deserves, he is thinking about how to be the husband she deserves. And with that thought in mind, he asks: ]
Is there anything you require that I might be able to give you? [ He is certain that she will say he has given her enough, but he would spend the rest of his life giving her everything that is in his power to give. ]
