[ Even if he has asked her to carry out the deed? She knows she could not. For all those that she and her sister have defeated and the soldiers that have perished through their actions? She could not put his to an end. Perhaps that might make her weak in the eyes of others. Yet, in the end, Aymeric is her betrothed. Her mate--even if she has never said as much in person to him.
She bites her lip at his statement. She would not have their last moments together be that of an argument. Yet, she wishes him to clearly understand this one moment. While she has ever had the struggle of expressing herself clearly? She must do what she can now. ]
No place is safe for me or Thisru to remain. We run into danger so that others might be spared it. Even then... [ She closes her eyes and forces her tears down. Then, they open to meet his again. ] Everyone has only ever seen how we are important to them. How we carry hope and help those rise up to fight... and while they are far from wrong... no one ever stops to consider what is important to us. Why we throw ourselves into danger, why we take the scars we do... you are all so concerned that we will be there to fight another day, and yet, and yet...
[ Her two-toned gaze drops for just a moment and her ears flatten to her head. ]
You and Thisru are what I love most on our star. If I were to lose either of you... stopping that from happening is worth any danger, any scar, any nightmare. I care for all on our star, but I love you. [ She presses her forehead to his and shuts her eyes. ] So, if I must do all my power to save you? I will. Even if you disagree, or come to hate me for this choice, I must do this.
[ She opens her eyes again to hold his gaze. ] You are the man I love, the one whose clan I wish to join. The one I've chosen for my mate: the one I wish to be with for the remaining days I will walk this star.
So, please, Aymeric. Please, trust in me, believe, have hope that I will find a way to bring you home to Ishgard. [ To me. ]
After all... we still have yet to plan our wedding.
