Then, I suppose I will need to stay right here in order to welcome you every night [ Her voice is soft and filled with exhaustion, but the tone warm.
Her eyes remained close even as he embraces her and she leans entirely into him. A deep feeling of content settles into her whole being. Finally, she can be at ease and have a life with him. Such a deep feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction that comes from her soul. So much so that she closes her eyes and presses her face further into his chest. A gentle shake overcomes her, and despite her best efforts, a small but happy sound escapes her. Has he received the news of the Scions disbanding, or does he simply believe she will be whisked away once she has recovered? Will she, or one of his extended family now, be able to give him the news themselves this time? ]
Thank you for the flowers, Aymeric. [ The use of his name, as opposed to one of her other names for him, seems far more appropriate for the moment. ] I love them.
[ Alkaid tilts her head into his hand and rubs her cheek into his chest. There is a part of her that wants nothing more than to curl into his arms and fall asleep where she is. As soon as he turns and speaks, she knows that cannot be until later in the evening. The children come first and foremost, even above her own wounds in her mind. Alkaid squares her shoulders and stands up proper once more, turning in Aymeric's arms as she hears Mélodie's footsteps come closer. ]
Momma! [ The young Elezen once again attaches to Alkaid's waist. Alkaid herself shuts her eyes for a moment to try and hide the small burst of pain, even if her tail sticks out for a brief second. ] Now that Papa is home we can have dinner, yes? I think it's ready!
Of course, I imagine you're all very hungry. [ Alkaid casts a glance to Leon who merely shrugs at the notion. A hand raises to gently brush the bangs from Mélodie's face. ] Go with your brother to collect dinner. It may take me a moment to get there.
[ Mélodie glances between Aymeric and Alkaid before slowly letting go. A moment passes before she runs off around the corner and drags Leon along. Alkaid glances up at Aymeric and give a timid smile before starting to make her way down the hall. Her hand still holds onto his, the other still holding the flowers they had given her. Her footsteps are careful and light, attempting to be as careful with her injuries as possible.
She has no doubt that G'raha and K'thisru will appear with the children to help with dinner as well. While her sister may not have a flare for showing off? She knows G'raha still has a bit of theatrics in him. ]
