[ Her gaze drops to the ribbon and a gentle smile takes her face. She tilts her head side to side, causing her swept away bangs and hair that hangs over her shoulder to shift. ]
We should use this one tomorrow in my hair. [ Alkaid smiles at him then, meeting him once more in a kiss. ] I suppose now I can stride into the House of Lords if they are keeping my betrothed too late at night.
[ There is a playful smile to her face. Yet, she pushes herself up as he helps her. She steps from the tub, nodding to the nearby towel before moving her tail away and giving it a good shake to remove some of the water. Her arms still shake as she pulls the towel around her, but she does her best to keep him from worrying. Drying off even takes some assistance and a blush takes her face. Her shaking hands rest on his sash once more to indicate he can pick her up and take her to the bed as she is certain he would wish to.
Alkaid rests her head against his shoulder. Her head tilts into his neck as her eyes close. She's quiet until they reach the bed, then she nudges his neck affectionately. Before he places her down, a still shaking hand raises to rest on the side of his face. Next, her ears droop and her tail gently sways. ]
It's over. [ She pauses to give a shaking inhale. Then, her eyes raise to look at him through her bangs once more. ] All of it... it's finally over, Costas.
[ Her gaze softens as a shy smile takes her face. She had decided on her own to rarely use his ancient name--if at all on purpose--as the name itself feels something that is a precious secret. Yet, this time, she uses it purposely and deliberately. He will no doubt understand the meaning of using it now. The struggle that has plagued their star since the ancient days is at an end. The task that had surely pulled her and her sister away as the ancient seat of Azem had been resolved. Now, they can be together, as she feels they have always wished to be--and not only as Alkaid and Aymeric. ]
