[ The worry of how damaging her wounds may truly be is something she understands well. While she does not worry as he does? She still has nightmares of their time on the First from time to time. While not frequent any longer, she is aware how taxing it must have been for Aymeric at the time. A worry of what this adventure might impress upon her for the next foreseeable future is warranted. However, Alkaid cannot shake the feeling that things will be more than alright in the end. ]

Of course, my love. See to them as you feel the need. [ Alkaid smiles gently at him. While many would find him aloof or even cold due to his stoic nature? She knows he cares so very deeply for those he considers his responsibility. ] Even if my sister might become annoyed at all the hovering.

[ She gently lifts her other arm so he might start tending to it even while her head remains rested on his shoulder. While part of her may wish to drift off then and there, she is still aware that he dons his armor. A frown tugs to her face at his recoil, as she had not realized how chilled she had become. Once he has finally settled on the bandages and is turns his questioning gaze to her? Alkaid gently wraps both of her arms around his neck so he might lift her.

She is able to stand, although shaking slightly, as he tends to the bath. She sets about removing the bandages around her chest expertly. The bruises have healed to a majority, but one can still see some of the darker places along one side of her ribs. A smile is given to him as he turns to help her into the bath. The thought crosses her mind that things are quite reversed this time.

Her arms gently rest on the lip of the bath while her eyes move to his. ]

Will you be joining me?
