[ She cannot help but smile at his question. While she very much enjoys welcoming him home every night she is there? The idea of walking home with their children is certainly one that makes her ears perk atop her head. ]
I believe I would.
[ She is his betrothed after all. All of those in Ishgard certainly know this, thus it should not be so surprising she would be seen with the children waiting for him. Certainly the gossip far focuses on the fact a Warrior of Light lives with Ser Aymeric before they are even wed. Adopting children is hardly unusual for the people of Ishgard.
Of course, she will need to be well again, and plan the affair with the children. While their habit was one she requested? She does not wish to overstep if they see it as their moment alone with their father.
She watches as he tends to the fire and dresses for bed once his armor is removed. It takes a moment longer than she wishes, but, she manages to move over to her side of the bed so he might take his place. The movements are slow as she moves under the covers and gets comfortable underneath them. One hand takes his as the other moves to untie the ribbon around his wrist. She gestures for him to place it on the nightstand so he might use it in her hair for the morrow.
Her hand gently squeezes his. ] Only your company.
[ Once he has obliged, she welcomes him with as open arms as she is able. they shake as she struggles to wrap one around him and the other th rest on his face. Her thumb brushes his cheekbone before traveling up into his hair. All her fingers curl into his locks as she strains to rest her forehead against his jaw. she would pull herself to him as usual, but finds she lacks the strength to do so. ]
I missed you. [ A phrase she has said on numberous occassions this night, but now all the emotions are allowed to come through. The longing, the love, but also the pain. Having him be an aetheryte travel away yet be unable to be with him was more painful than being far away on the First.
She gently nudges his jaw in hopes he might pull her closer. ] Thisru had Raha with her... and yet, I couldn't bring you with me. All I could do was think of all the places I wished to show you.
[ Alkaid sniffles a cry that wishes to breakthrough. She supposes that is why Estinien had made himself more of a companion as possible. There were several nights she would lay in bed on her own looking out a window in the direction Ishgard was. Others, she would simply walk through the cities at night with her gaze up at the stars wondering if he looked to them for her as well. She focused on her duties and seeing those who needed it cared for, but, she imagines it was quite apparent to all the Scions how lonely she was becoming. Even then, she pushed on with hope, grace, and a smile for them all.
Now that she is home in his arms? She feels those emotions rise for Aymeric to take away and comfort her. Another cry attempts to come, but instead she hides her face between his neck and his shoulder with her tail tucked around them. ]
Even when I thought circumstances might allow me to return home... Ishgard needed my sister. Not me. [ She had hinted at it in the bath, but as always, when it is just the pair of them in bed? Everything comes forward. ] I just wish to be with you. Here. At home.
[ Alkaid presses a kiss his neck as if she is apologizing, asking he not hate her for her more selfish emotions. ]
