[ A gentle squeeze is given to Alphinaud's hand. One to show that she appreciates the gesture and that she will be fine. After all, she had survives the horrors that Norvrandt afflicted upon all of them. Surely, she will survive this as well. Perhaps it is a matter of cost and not survival.
Alisaie shakes her head. It hurts to think that after everything they have seen and done that Alkaid would keep something like this from them. From her. She supposes she can understand--they are all entitled to their secrets. After all, she, her brother, and the Warriors of Light will never tell a soul what they learned of their grandfather in the Coils of Bahamut.
The red mage looks up at Alkaid with a determined expression on her face. ]
It's good news, I swear. K'thisru is back from Norvrandt! We might yet make a breakthrough after everything. Not just for Ga Bu now, but Ser Aymeric too. Everyone that has been tempered. [ She moves to speak but stops the moment the bright blue eye belonging to the Warrior of Light turns to her. ]
...Thisru left for Norvrandt?
[ Alisaie gives a nod. ] As I understand she enlisted the aid of our dear friend the Exarch. And no, despite my grievances, I hardly mean it sarcastically. We've turned our eye to the Allagan Empire, and therefor the expertise of the Exarch. That'd why I want you there. [ A glance is spared to her twin before she meets Alkaid's half-gaze once more. ] But, I swear to you, I will argue for you to remain here. I simply... it is better to know and have hope than to be in the dark without any knowledge at all.
[ Alkaid's gaze softens to the young Elezen. She can hear the experience that Alisaie quietly refers to without the specifics at all. Her other hand leaves the door before gently brushing Alisaie's bangs aside. The red mage blushes before turning away and crossing her arms. Alkaid shakes her head gently with a smile before turning her attention to Alphinaud. ]
