[ The ears pressed to her head lift only slightly at his laugh. She feels he never truly smiles enough or has the chance to. Her hands curl underneath his own and for a brief moment, she nearly leans forward to his chest. What he says does not go unnoticed, but, it is clear by her eyes that she struggles with putting away the mantle. There was a time she did it easily. That was before she felt she was broken; before her time on the First.
The gentle kiss, however, is what breaks down the flimsy mantle.

She feels as if much of who she had been before their time on the First had been damaged, leaving a broken version of herself who desperately clings to the safety her sister and her betrothed give her. She might have said that was the reason why she feared losing Aymeric to the primal's influence... except for the fact it would be a lie. She feared losing him because she loves him far too much. A part of her would return to the aetheric sea with him, and she does not know what would truly remain of her then. ]

[ Her head lowers and she leans forward, but never quite makes it to resting against him. Instead, it seems more as if she crumbles on the spot. She raises her hands to hide her face as tears begin to fall from her eyes and down her face. ]
