[ His gaze turns downward to where her fingers trail along the back of his hand, and a shiver forms at the base of his spine. Her touch always sets off little bursts of electricity, and he finds he is unable to suppress or hold back the rush of excitement he feels whenever she is near. ]
I could not agree more. I sincerely hope that a day will come when Eorzea is able to stand and fight on her own. I do not doubt that you and your sister will lend your aid should it be deemed necessary, but I hope that one day, you will be free to live your own lives and not have to constantly be ready to answer the call when it comes.
[ And naturally, his plans for the two of them include them spending the rest of their days together, and he does not wish to have to factor in orders from the Scions or anyone else for that matter. He may have responsibilities he still needs to see to, but by his reckoning, Alkaid and her sister have jumped when others said jump far too many times, and he only wants to see them be free of that once and for all. ]
I... Well, I see. [ He cannot help the pause that comes when he listens to all Alkaid has to say. Ishgard is hardly perfect; she too has her issues, but he cannot help but believe that when compared to the lives the people they presently fight for have lived, life in Ishgard is an idyllic existence.

He may well be a strong man, perhaps the strongest one who has ever walked our star, but he is only a man, is he not? There must be a weakness to him, something that will provide you with an opening. Or perhaps this is one enemy that requires giving you and your sister aid.
[ He finds he does not like the notion of the sisters fighting Zenos on their own. Surely there is something that he and the other members of the Alliance can do for them. ]
