[ She would gladly put down the mantle of Champion of Eorzea and Warrior of Light when the time comes. Not that she has truly regretted it at all. Simply... the pull for what her heart yearns to do versus the idea of being the errand girl for political nation after political nation is disheartening to say the least. If she could but simply be a traveler and see any sight Aymeric may wish to? That would be more than enough for her.

Alkaid gives a salute as Nanamo leaves them to be their own once more. Her gaze drops further as her ears tuck to the sides once more. A simple nod is given to his observations on the Sultana. She would credit it to the many times Nanamo has gone and investigated her people.

She looks upwards towards him with a frown on her face. ]

No, not at all. I had simply thought... you would not wish it to be public knowledge yet. I had wanted to lessen the gossip as much as possible...[ then, she frowns. ] And I wanted one thing to myself that the Scions could not find a way to use.

[thewayforpeace]

[ He smiles widely for her, reaching for her hands once more so he can take them in his and give them a squeeze. ]

Oh, Alkaid, if no longer keeping the news to ourselves makes you happy, then I would open myself to all manner of gossip, even scandal. That is all I could ever want: to please you and give you all the happiness that I can manage.

[ And then, giving no mind to those who are still lingering and who may be watching, he wraps one arm around her and draws her gently into a fond embrace. He lowers his voice then so that only she may hear: ]

I have missed you very much, Lantaa.

[ Her own smile in return is small and bashful. She has no care if the news is public or not. What she cares for is parties using it for their own benefit. If he wished the world to know if their engagement? Then she would be certain to share it with any who might ask as opposed to hesitantly changing the subject.

Alkaid steps into his hold, ears lifting at the motion. She hides most of her face in his armor once more so that only the expression in her eyes might be seen. They beam with nothing short of love for him. A small pleased sound escapes her at the sound of her real name. Her hands curl into the sashes on his armor to express the same notion in return.

Her ears give a small twitch at the sound of horns once more. This time they speak of summons instead of arrivals. Alkaid's mint-green eyes shut as she gives a frustrated sigh. ]

We should go. [ Even if she does not want to. ]
