[ He huffs out a quiet laugh, shaking his head once as if revealing the doubts he has on that particular score. ] Ah, but do you not think that a truly good partner would be so tied to his work and his duty that he cannot take even a moment to excuse himself from said duty to spend time with his betrothed? I feel as though I have yet to find the proper balance between seeing to my duty to Ishgard and seeing to the duty that I have to you and your sister both.

[ He has already resolved to make up for what he sees as his shortcoming. ] Nevertheless, I would love very much to travel alongside you as we see the world.

[ A questioning glance takes his face as he watches her, wondering what she might ask of him. He would give her the moon and stars from the sky if she said that she desired them.

But then she names her request and his eyes widen before a gentle smile takes his face once more. ]

I would like that very much. And more than that, I would like to hear of your wishes for our wedding and how you would have it be. [ Because he will do his best to ensure that anything she desires will be given. It does not seem strange to him to plan their wedding when in the midst of war. Happiness can be found anywhere, and it seems to him that in times like these, they need all the happiness that they can find. ]

How can he be certain? [ A serious look takes his face once more as he thinks this over. ] A Calamity cannot be stopped so easily, although I have no doubts in your abilities and that of your sister's.
