[ Her gaze moves to his once more even as her head tilts further into his hand. Hopefully, this way, he may find all the comfort he needs. She is quiet as he speaks, knowing full well to must be difficult for him to hold onto what he can of himself. That, and she fears that if she does speak before he finishes, the primal's influence may come to claim him. She remains under no delusions that they have all the time their star might offer them. She is the Warrior of Light, and every primal knows that she and her sister see to their ends.
The hand not resting on his wound raises to his face, fingers gently resting below his chin. She gives the gentleness of nudges so he might look at her. Her bangs are pulled to the side to show the scar that had been left by Nidhogg, accompanied by the scar on one cheek from Gaius van Baelsar, and the opposite cheek one from Zenos yae Galvus. Those along with the long scar on her side he quite obviously would now already, but, it is more of a reminder that she has faced large and impossible things already.
His meaning of his words is not lost; for what he truly says is he could not bear the thought of him hurting her. Alkaid is full knowing of the fact that Aymeric could damage her in ways that no one else could. There are things only he knows of her--and should an enthralled person wish to--he could use them against her. Yet, she remains sat in front of him, leaning upwards into his hand and her eyes never leaving his.
Water gathers in her eyes at the use of her real name. She thought herself strong, given she had only ever cried in front of him when he had proposed. That illusion shattered upon her return from the Crystarium and Norvrandt and the hails of the Crystal Exarch. Yet, even with the physical changes hinting at the trauma that no one should ever face, Aymeric never turned her away. She was still--and still remains--Lantaa to him. How then could she abandon him? Especially once they have cured him. There is no doubt or question in her mind that will not achieve it.
Her tail curls against her. Would he still call her by her true name even as the primal takes him again? Or, will she only be the Warrior of Light in his mind? ]
I have kept you waiting for far too long. I will not leave you now. Not when--not now. [ Her head cants fully into his hand then. ] Not after everything.
