[ He has long since resolved that they shall spend the rest of their days together, so long as she remains agreeable to the notion of marrying him. Should she ever change her mind, he will, of course, release her to marry whoever she will. But until such a time comes, if it ever does, his determination is to remain by her side as best as he is able.
And as such, he is resolved to protect her however she can, and that includes protecting her reputation as well. If he knew of the idle talk that occurred on the streets and wherever people gather, he would be quite incensed indeed. And what is more, he would view his inability to forestall such talk as a failure on his part. ]
You are kind to say such things, but I cannot help but feel differently. Still, I am determined to make up for this however I can.
[ The smile he gives her in response to her statement that he is forgiven is a small one, and there is a hint of sadness in it too. He only wishes to spare her and K'thisru from harm, but all his determined words aside, he wonders if he truly can do anything to protect and defend them. ]
I see. That does sound dire, but whoever this someone might be, they have caused no small amount of distress and worry here. I am not sure which is worse, the knowledge that so many of our companions have fallen asleep, or that another Calamity might be looming, if this individual can be believed.
[ And more than that, Aymeric fears losing Alkaid and K'thisru to whatever it is that has befallen the Scions. Should that happen, he will be at a loss for how to move forward. ]
