[ Her gaze moves down to their combined hands and her expression softens. Her fingers run along his as her lips press to them. His lack of strength in the gesture hardly bothers her. She understands the position he is in. He can barely sit up, yet he is concerning himself with how cold she is and her comfort. She presses her lips to them again in another kiss. It is simply because she misses kissing him. Yet, doing the action causes him such pain.
The part that is a realist is ever present, but even then, Alkaid still hopes against hope. She knows that if they are to be separated by him returning to the star, that she will quite never be the same. Part of her will go with him. She feels as if they are tied together at their souls. Or, perhaps, that is her simply projecting.
Still, she smiles at him again for the look in his eyes.
Her ears twitch once the door opens. Alkaid peeks from the blanket wrapped around them as Estinien enters the room once more, this time with a tray filled with food. She gives him a tired smile as well as the dragoon places the food down on the table behind them. ]
It would seem the two of you have much to catch up on. I will leave you to it, and check in a few hours.
[ Before she can even thank him, Estinien leaves. However, he casts a glance towards Aymeric on his way out. One that says that he ought to not only care for Alkaid but himself. The door closes gently leaving the two alone once more.
Alkaid looks back to Aymeric with a gentle look. She squeezes his hands before standing up. ]
Let's have breakfast.
[ With one final kiss to their joined hands given, she turns to gather their meal. It's a simple soup and rice which is perhaps best given his lack of strength. She takes her seat beside him with the bowl between her hands and raised slightly up for him. ]
