[ While not hawkish, Alkaid does watch as he eats dinner. The smile--regardless of how small on his face--makes her eyes light up and her ears perk just slightly more. She smiles at him in return, the sparkle still in her eyes. Of course, with how well he can read her, he might still see how her own struggles linger in the back of her gaze and mind. Alkaid doubts they will ever truly fade. Sin Eaters are the light empowered just as the Void Sent are the umbral empowered. She is sensitive to aether, even if it is not as honed or at the level that Y'shtola is. Anything she can encounter like that will surely be unsettling and an issue for her in the future.
However, he helped her in her time of need, and she will most certainly not abandon him in any time of need. She would not have even without the spell of tempering, but the efforts seem doubled in a way.

Or, he worries of how she may take his suggested course of action. She shifts slightly to stand between his legs, not fully bringing them together given their respective positions, but as close as she might be able to. ]
