song of hope

BOOK 5: OUR SONG

Our song of hope, she dances on the wind
Higher, o' higher
E'er our hearts endure and remain forever strong
Standing tall through the dark do we carry onCODE BY TESSISAMESS

[ Who could answer the summons? K'thisru has become embroiled in a new affair alongside Estinien, Y'shtola and their voidsent friend. If her sister is to deal with the threats that come to Etheryis by far away, then she must surely deal with those within Etheryis. Pregnancy certainly makes it difficult, but, there is little to be done by it.

Her hands curl around his arm and hand tightly. A small squeeze is given. She is aware he must have complicated feelings on thr matter of Ishgard's ice laden lands. He can remember the days before the Calamity and it seems there is no way to return Corethas to such ways. The dragons and Knights still remain frozen in spot in some places... ]

Perhaps your peoples can share knowledge to one another. [ The statement is said quietly and almost from a place of reverence. Both places lay in the frozen wastes and have been ravaged by war... and primal.

The thought makes her gloved fingers curl into his armor as much as they can. Even as they begin to near the dwelling Lucia is in. She steps against him to be warm. ]

If any complaina about the impropriety, we simply remind them that we are married.

[ Aymeric is of the opinion that both Warriors of Light have done more than enough for them all, and they deserve a rest... perhaps even retirement, if they are so inclined. In his mind, it is high time that they learn to handle affairs on their own, as they have asked enough of both Alkaid and K'thisru. But who would step into the role they both play? It is a question that does not have a simple answer, so for the moment, he puts it to the side. ]

Perhaps we can. We may very well end up benefiting from such a conversation. [ Or several conversations, as he imagines there would be much to talk about. ]

Of course, of course. I rather like being able to make that particular claim. [ He offers her yet another warm smile even as he pulls her a little bit further against him, intending to share his warmth. ]

[ Alkaid would truly retire if she felt she could. Yet, as she sees it, the Warrior of Light is merely a new form of her ancient seat. A task to shepherd and aid all those who call upon Azem. Perhaps a day will come when they no longer need her and her sister to act accordingly, but it seems now is not the time.

She smiles to him in return and steps against him as he pulls. Her head gently nudges his arm and her gaze remains on him until they arrive at the main part of the temporary hall. She smiles at Lucia who smiles in turn. ]

Ser Aymeric, Lady Alkaid. Allow me to formally apologize for being unable to attend your wedding. I hope to make it up to you someday. [ Lucia bows in formal ways. ] As well as the apology of pulling you both from your home. However, we were asked to bring all the leaders of the Eorzean Alliance here in aid to an ally.

An ally? [ Alkaid tilts her head. Surely it would not be any in Garlemald save the twins. ] Just who...

Lady Lucia refers to me.

[ Alkaid turns her head towards the other voice and her eyes widen in surprise. There stands Fourchenalt, the father of the twin former Scions stationed in Garlemald. ]
