Of course I do. Of course. [ She presses another kiss to where his jaw and neck meet. ] That's why you must come with me the next time I'm forced away. If need be, I will find a way to make it diplomatic so none can complain or say you are abandoning your duties.
[ Then, a brief pause. ] Will you come away with me?
[ Alkaid does not expect him to say yes, or to make a promise that he will. It is quite the call order to ask him to leave Ishgard at any point. However, even more so, with the fact that Ishgard has been taken by King Thordan risen once more. She doubts he would be able to agree with himself on the notion of leaving after they've slain the primal and begun seen to any form of restoration. Even then... a small part of her hopes that he might say "yes"; that he will allow her to take him away even for a brief time so he might see the world he so longs to see.
Her nose gently nudges with his when she feels his hand tighten and his body stiffen. Her poor knight. He is so insistent upon being the strong one for his nation and for her. She brushes her lips against his as he apologizes. There is no need for such things, even though he will insist upon it. ]
Aymeric, my love. Please, don't apologize for things that are beyond your control. I am equally to blame. I allow them to pull me away at the drop of a hat because they so insist otherwise. When I stood my ground and said they were not to take me from you in your tempered state... I am certain I made most of them quite angry. Yet, you needed me, and I have left you behind far too many times. I will not leave you this time.
[ Her other hand presses against his with fingers slipping in between his. She once again meets him in a kiss, but this time she presses herself against him further and moves to deepen it. ]
