[ There are times when she wonders if she truly is enough. Not as a wife or as a Warrior of Light, but as her, K'Lantaa Pahsh. It is usually an idle thought that crosses her mind when she first awakens. More so when last she was home in Ishgard, opening her eyes to find him beside her. Seeing him there filled her heart with a quiet joy that she truly had not realized how much she grew used to it until it was no longer there. Without her various titles and deeds, she is still just a Miqo'te who is gifted in healing. Can she be truly enough even once she is stripped of even her gifted magicks?

Her eyes widen slightly at his proposal. No rejection or disgust is in her gaze, only surprise. Her ears lift up slightly and she moves to simply place her hands against his. She would hold them, but, she would rather he not move his hands unless utterly necessary. Alkaid tilts her head slightly to the side once again. ]

Are you certain? [ Alkaid's voice is quiet gentle, despite their intimate positioning. The teasing and alluring tone has melted away to something far more vulnerable and, even more so, quieter. ] I-I don't mind waiting. If you feel we must to make me happy or to keep me with you...

[ She glances to the side with her ears lowering. ] Of course I want to. I wish to be as close to you as possible. But, I... I don't want you to feel it is necessary, or that I would be unhappy if we wait... [ Her tail sways side to side for a moment as she bites her lip. Then, even quieter: ] I don't want anything you experience with me to be something you regret.
