[ His mind is turning with questions of fate and destiny as well, but when she asks those questions, his answer is immediate: ]
If we had never met, I believe that I never would have found the happiness that you brought into my life when you entered it. I would be an entirely different man, and I am certain that my days would be that much darker.
[ He gently takes hold of her hand and raises it slightly so that he might press a light kiss to it. ] And for that, I thank you.
[ But the smile in his eyes fades when he sees the hurt in her own eyes, and the tears as well. ] I am sorry, Lantaa. Sorry that you have been hurt and- [ There is nothing I can do, except to call the healers. ] If it eases your mind at all, I will bring her to you. I will be right back.
[ And having said that, he crosses over to the other bed where he and K'thisru exchange a few quiet words. She is not in any better shape than her sister is, and it seems as though speaking is hard for her, but Aymeric tells her what he intends and she gives a small nod. Being mindful not to hurt her, he lightly slides one arm around her back and the other beneath her legs so that he might lift and carry her over to her sister.
It only takes a moment, even though he purposefully moves as slowly as possible, and once he has returned to Alkaid's bed, he gently places K'thisru beside her. ]
I will gladly remain if you need me, but if you would like a moment alone, I will leave you two.
