[ Perhaps if they were not locked in this prolonged war, he could truly show her a good time, or at least treat her as a lady deserves to be treated. Brief trysts now and then and the odd dinner together is not the extent of what he wishes to do with her. He has learned that he enjoys her company and would like to spend time getting to know her better. As it is, they have only just scratched the surface.
His duty has never chafed, nor has he ever wished to put it aside, but when the news came that they were to leave for their next post, he found himself being considerably more heavy-hearted about it than he had anticipated. Even as he prepared himself for what was intended to be a last gathering before he and his regiment of soldiers departed, his thoughts traveled to Alkaid and to the farewell he knew he must give.
But for all of the regret he has that he must say good-bye, he is truly happy to see her and to at least have this last time with her before he has to go. ]

[ He realizes belatedly that his posture has fallen away just a touch, and so he is quick to straighten back up again into a stance fitting a soldier. ]
I had hoped that you might walk with me for a time. And if you are inclined to- To take my hand, you may. [ He extends said hand to her, knowing that his nervousness must show in his expression and in the slowness with which he moves. ]
