Well, I am glad that you remained indoors. It is quite cold tonight, colder than it has been recently. [ Of course, the children would be dressed warmly, but he knows all too well that the climate of Ishgard is not particularly forgiving, and he would hate to see either the children or Alkaid catch a chill.

He offers Leon a warm smile before turning his attentions back to Mélodie. ] Good, I hope that she has been resting. [ She has not been herself, and he fears that all is not truly well with her, even though he did as she asked and did not summon a doctor to the house. ] I look forward to seeing your progress with the tree. And Miss Krile is present? Good. That's good. [ It also confirms for him that perhaps Alkaid does need care, but his opinion of Krile is that she is quite capable of handling things.

When they reach the sitting room, Aymeric is quick to survey Alkaid, looking for any signs of things that he should worry about. At least she is standing, even if she is holding onto the couch. Still, he remains worried, as he is not entirely convinced that all is well.

He remains silent long enough for Leon and Mélodie to depart the room, being careful to still wear a smile for their benefit. But once it is just the two of them, he quickly crosses over to her and places a hand at her hip as if to provide additional support. ]

It is good to be home. They did good work with the tree, unfinished as it is. Perhaps we can finish it together, if- [ His eyes focus fully upon her now. ] If you feel able to do so.
