Oh, but you have. You have so many times over. [ He realizes that he means every word, and he hopes that it sounds clearly in his voice. ] I have a family with you and with your sister too, and it is more than I could have ever asked for.
[ In that very instant, the swirling memories of a time when he was a soldier, not even the Lord Commander, fade away, replaced by the happiness he has felt because of having her in his life. Even if their plans for traveling never come to fruition, he knows they do not need to. Would he like to travel across their star with her? Of course. But if they never manage to do so, he will not be discontent by any means.
Just having her at his side is all he needs to be truly happy. And as for what demons still plague his heart and mind, they too become lessened when she is near. ]
I, for one, can only begin to wonder what those other lifetimes might be like. But I suppose we shall simply have to wait and see. [ If the small smile on his face is any indication, he is not wholly serious. Of course he knows what that would mean, for them to embark upon another journey and another lifetime, and he does not intend to wish away what time they have in this lifetime.
The moment that her hand rests upon his back and the other hand slides beneath his chin, he makes his decision: to push himself up just enough that he can press his lips against hers. The urge to sleep may be beginning to grow, threatening to pull him down, but he does not wish to give into it just yet. With the hand that is not being used to prop himself up, he circles it around her waist, eventually coming to a stop as his fingers brush lightly against her hip. ]
That we are both blessed by knowing each other, we have already concluded, but even so, I hope that I am every bit a blessing to you in return for what you have given me.
