All that would please me is being home with my family... and whenever my sister would wish to join us.

[ As her sister is the one of the pair that is truly more like Venat: the adventurer who would see to traveling till the end of her days. Alkaid would never admit it outloud to her sister, but, she had felt out of place in Elpis. Not due to the difference in time. No, it was due to the fact that she wished to remain in one place and travel when the fancy arose. Perhaps she even imagined the look of understanding that crossed Venat's gaze without her saying a word. It makes her wonder how much of their ancient lives truly persist through many rebirth.

A certain sparkle comes to her eyes at the mention of flowers. Yes, she would very much indeed love such a notion. It is perhaps the one thing she truly does miss in Gridania. Flowers were everywhere, where fauna is far rarer in Corethas since the Seventh Umbral Calamity.

Once he slides his arm around her waist, Alkaid leans against him for the support her offers. She would truly prefer being carried, yet she silently agrees she does not wish to alarm the children. Although she is certain both of them have noticed how she is missing her usual energy and quickness in her steps. ]


I... imagine it would be. It might be for the best. [ Her voice lowers only in hopes to keep their children from hearing.

A look is spared up to him, only allowing a small amount of the discomfort to show just in case. However, Ayemric has ever been the master at reading her, and surely has noticed what remains unsaid and unseen for now.

It takes longer than she would wish to move to the living room, but they do arrive. She slowly eases herself onto the familiar couch with a small smile, placing the flowers gently in her lap. Then, she looks up with a smile at him. ]


Aymeric...

[ However, the news she is to share is interrupted by the footsteps of the children once more. Alkaid turns to look at the door with a smile as Leon and Mélodie enter in with a few trays in their hands... followed by G'raha and K'thisru.

Hopefully their presence is a surprise ad well for the Lord Speaker. ]
