It is very much to my liking. [ And the movement of her tail should surely show that.
Her eyebrows knit further at the sound that leaves him. While not distressing, it does cause her to worry. Aymeric has always been one to compartmentalize his feelings to focus on the task at hand, and she has watched him do it time and time again since she met him. However, this time seems so very different. She guides him along his way to nestle in her lap, trying to encourage him how he might wish to move. ]
I have always rested well when I am at your side. You've no need to worry for me at the moment.
[ Her half-opened gaze moves, watching how his legs curl inward once more. He had done so the very first time she had eased his side. She had thought that perhaps it was due to the pain he was in. However, now, she wonders if the action is something more. The motion only cements in her mind that he needs his side tended to, regardless of his desire to see her tended to.
Then, her gaze moves back to his eyes once he says her name. Her head cants forwards lightly to encourage him. Instead, a question comes from him. Alkaid smiles gently at him, her shoulders lowering, while her fingers once more brush along his cheek before returning to his hair. ]
Yes, I would. [ Alkaid lets her eyes fall shut once more as her fingers begin to move along his dark locks and at his side once more. ] I had thought of it often when I returned to the First. While I owe them much, including the way of being able to find you in this life? I had never wished to be a Scion or a great figure in history. Such a thing was never my intention when I left my clan for Gridania.
[ The tips of her fingers envelop in the familiar white-green light. They glide over the visible scar, moving in circles to encourage his aether to undo its knots. ]
If you truly wish that I retire? I would. If you would ask that I marry you right in this moment and be the mother of your children? I would. Anything you would ask of me, Aymeric, I would see done and made possible.
[ Her ears give a small twitch as she listens for his response, verbally or his body moving to the beginnings of her work. There is no way to tell if they have been able to share their previous lives together in such a fashion, or if life found ways to pull them apart again and again. She means to make certain they have the rest of this life together, Ascians and Scions be damned if needed. ]
You are my one and only in this life and all lives.
