[ Alkaid's gaze remains downcast. Yet, she watches intently as his hands slowly reach out to hers. He freezes to see if Thordan might lash out, and she too freezes. She waits for what ought to be the inevitable recoil he has as the primal who has enthralled him lashes out. Yet, nothing seems to truly happen in that regard. Her hands shake slightly under his touch with emotions unsaid and unshared.
She bites down on her lip slightly before she leans forward to close the remaining space between them. Then, she rests her forehead against his once more. Lamenting how unfair it all is would be so very pointless. Not when he has his own harsh battle he is waging within. She would curl her hands around his in return if she did not hold the spoon and bowl. Instead, she presses her forehead against his further with her eyes closed. ]
I miss you. [ A funny thing to say, she realizes. Especially when they sit together and the problems of the world finally put to the side. Her head tilts so she might press the side of her nose to his. ] It is our first time together in a city beyond Ishgard and war... and we can hardly enjoy it together.
[ Another moment passes before she tilts her head down. They should finish breakfast before anything else. Thus, she returns to her motions of feeding the two of them until the shared bowl is empty. She places it to the side with the spoon. Before standing, she presses a kiss to his cheek that is close to his lips. She dares not kiss him proper in case it undoes the small progress he has made.
Alkaid stands then and removes the blanket from the pair of them. Her hands go to help him stand. Then, she moves to his side and nestles perfectly against his body. One hand goes around his waist while the other rests his hand on her shoulder. ]
I'm far from Estinien, but lean what you need on me, and I will find a way to support your weight. [ A hand gestures to the room in which they must move to. ] That one is the bathroom. I won't see you in a comfortable bed covered in dirt from a cell.
[ It is a slow process to the bathroom. Once inside, she helps him transfer his weight to the sink. Her attention turns then to setting the bath together. She makes certain the water is not too hot. As the tub fills with water, she takes the steps to return to his side and motions to his clothing. He will need to dress down to be inside the water.
She helps however he might need, being careful to look away at certain parts of his nude body. Not because she does not desire him. Now is not the time, nor the place, and he had made certain his stance that most intimate acts should be saved until after they wed. She will abide by his request even now.
Finally, she leads him to the tub and helps him with his weight as best as he can to settle inside the bath. She moves to kneel beside the tub. ]
Is the water too hot or too cold? Do you need me to get you anything before I start?
