[ She had idle musings on the First if their souls had ever found one another before now. There had been seven Rejoinings... had they ever met in those seven reflections? Or, is it, they had not, and that is why they remain so stubborn in staying together now? Had they found one another before the Calamities on the Source, only to be torn apart, needing to find one another again and again? They are thoughts she has never shared with anyone--not even her sister. Although, she had a feeling that Ardbert had caught on at some point, given how he sulked about the room given to the sisters.
Alkaid continues to gently rock him, her grip only tightening once he speaks of how perhaps their only option had been to slay him. The idea alone still causes her hands to tremor and a sharp pain in her heart. While she never wishes to walk this star without her sister or Aymeric? The future is uncertain and it may very well happen... which only causes her raw heart to ache more. ]
You spoke to me the few times you could manage it... and told me you were still there in little ways. [ Maybe ways that only she and Estinien might pick up on.
Regardless, she tries to pull him ever closer as she sways back and forth for him. His question makes her frown. She should have thought to ask Estinien of such things. After all, Aymeric's greatest love is his city and people, as she sees it in her mind. How had she not thought to keep informed of the situation, knowing he might ask when he returned to himself? Her gaze drops to the floor as a fresh wave of failure strikes at her. ]
I'm unaware of where she stands, other than the fact that she still does. [ Her ears flatten and her tail curls up around her leg. ] If you'd like, I can summon Estinien, and we can see what he and the others have learned.
[ Alkaid frowns slightly as her shoulders curl. Part of her wishes to curl up on herself as yet another way she has let him down piles in her mind. ]
I'm certain the Admiral will wish to speak to you and learn how this had happened to start with. Until then, a few more days of rest and food should get you back on your feet. Once you have recovered enough to walk? We will make our way to Ishgard.
