I am of half a mind to ensure that my schedule is cleared of affairs at home so that I might do such a thing. After all, Ishgard is now part of the Eorzean Alliance, and as such, we must participate in affairs concerning Eorzea as a whole.

[ He fears that those who are prone to talking and gossiping will believe such a thing to be only a ruse and a cover for his selfishness, but even with that fear, he wants to go with her wherever her duties take her. To that end, there is only one answer that he can give. ]

Yes, I will come with you, and without any hesitation at all. [ To be temporarily absent from Ishgard is not shirking in his duties, or so he tells himself even as he gives her his answer. Naturally, such a thing may very well have to wait until after this affair with the primal has been resolved, and of course, the business of seeing Ishgard restored in the aftermath may well take some time.

That, however, does not shake Aymeric's resolve nor his desire to come away with her to wherever it is she might go.

What does quiver a bit in response to her words is the part of him that tries so very hard to be the strong foundation that she and Ishgard need him to be. He cannot afford to lose control or to break, not when so much is still needed of him.

For the moment, any further words and powers of speech have seemingly failed him, and all he can do is lean into the kiss, drinking in the feel of her and the love and comfort that she has always given him. ]
