[ She pauses in her recounting once his eyes open. She holds her breath, expecting to see the unnatural glow that does not belong to him. Instead she is greeted by his natural sky-blue eyes. Her ears lift entirely along with the tip of her tail. For the first time in days, a true smile breaks out on her face. She leans her cheek into his touch to make the small but welcomed notion easier for him to act out. ]
Hello, my knight.
[ The tail curled at her side sways gently side to side at the first sight of Aymeric she has seen since this ordeal began. He has, of course, surfaced in notions, actions and words, but now it is clearly he is returned to himself to some degree.
She goes to speak once more, intending to remind him of the meetings with dragons and how it led to their relationship. How Estinien was saved from Nidhogg, and their first Starlight Celebration together. No of those words surface. Her mind comes to a stop the moment he says her name, ears still standing on end, hands threaded with his. Then, the smile fades into a look of surprise. Tears once again gather in her eyes, but this time, they do spill down her cheeks. A part of her was convinced she might never hear him say those words again.
Apologies will be given to Alisaie at the display later. Alkaid moves to be closer to him, tilting her head to kiss him once more. It still remains gentle. She wishes to give him the kisses she might normally, but it is plain to see he is weak and they do have company. ]
And I love you. I would have not said yes to your proposal otherwise. [ An affectionate nudge is given to his cheek once more as her tail continues to sway. A glance is sent to Alisaie, who nods and smiles encouragingly, yet also with exhaustion. ] My lord knight who loves his homeland so dearly he was ready to do anything it took to save her. Even if it meant bringing down all the foundations it had stood upon in order to reveal the truth.
[ Another kiss is placed on his cheek. What else can she say? She feels as if there is nothing else to share with present company. another glance is sent to Alisaie who lowers her hand and looks to Angelo. The fatigue is quite clear on the young Elezen's face, but, the determination has not left. ]
