[ Oh, how well does Aymeric know that. He likes to believe that he has taken steps towards moving past some of his own habits, and yet he knows full well that a great many more still remain. One such habit is working far later than he should, although he maintains that he does so out of necessity, even during this particular season.
Of course, he wishes to be home with his wife and children. Just the very thought of them makes him smile and long to be with them, a notion that only grew stronger following the wedding and honeymoon. He and Alkaid belonged together, that they knew, but now that the wedding has happened, there ought to be no doubt in anyone's minds.
Even so, there is work to be done both at his office and outside of it. The Starlight Celebration is something that requires contributions from all, as it is quite the community event. And while he gets his work done as always, there is something in the back of his mind that is worrying him. Of course, he can do very little about it while he is here at work, but that does not stop his thoughts from straying from time to time.
Alkaid has complained of feeling ill, and while he offered to fetch someone to look at her, she asked that he not, at least for the time being. There is a part of him that still disagrees with that request of hers, but it would hardly be right of him to ignore her wishes, no matter how worried about her he is. So, he went to work as normal, also at her request, but she was never far from his thoughts.
Eventually, he pauses in his work and stops to make note of the time. It is quite a bit past the time that his little family would have come to collect him, and that realization makes his eyebrows draw together into a frown. They have rarely missed a day, and so the fact that they have causes him no small amount of worry. It takes him a few moments to collect his belongings and say his goodbyes before he leaves for the evening, but once all that is accomplished, he wastes no time in heading for home.
He has barely opened the door and stepped inside when a small Elezen all but flings herself at him. Quickly wrapping his arms around her in return, he offers her the brightest smile that he can manage. ]
Well, with a greeting like that, I certainly feel very welcomed. [ He quickly scoops her up and then looks around. ] And where is your brother?
