[ She remains where she is, arms wrapped around his chest, forehead pressed against him, gaze tilted down at their feet. She would give him all the words she could if he would take them. While not showering him in praise, she would certainly make sure that he knew how much she cares for him. Of course, he surely would not be interested in such a thing. Perhaps he has only told her because of the time they've spent together--as limited as it is. A friendly notion, nothing more.
Even though she wishes it was more. ]
Then, I should tell you of all the places beyond the borders of Corethas. How Eorzea looks, feels, sounds. [ Her tone remains quiet, gentle, reeling still from the news. ] All you need is people who can help make those words a reality, Ser. And... you can count me among those people if you wish. And, also if you would wish to, I would hear all of Corethas and Ishgard. Any detail you would wish to share with me.
[ Anything that would keep their conversation going; anything that would keep him with her just a bit longer.
Her ears fold down to her head, which must certainly be a strange sight for an Elezen. She bites the inside of her mouth, doing her best not to let the water that gathers in her eyes escape. He values their moments together in such a way? Her heart gives an excited beat, but she reminds herself that there surely no reason for a Temple Knight--a Lord--to be interested in a healer from Gridania. While only a handful of white mages exist now? Surely, that is not enough to catch his eye. At least, not in the way he has caught hers.
She turns her head, pressing her cheek to his chest now. There is a wish that he would hold her in return, but, it surely is far too forward for Ishgardian. ]
Y-yes, I will be.
[ Alkaid closes her eyes and her hold on his person tightens. She cannot promise that she will remain unscathed or unharmed. It is always possible that the Dravanians will descend on Ishgard. Yet, she would not have him worry for her while he is so far away. At least, not in a way that would distract him from his own survival.
That way he might return to her--even if it would not truly be her, but his people in Ishgard.
She pauses for a moment, then in a voice above a whisper: ] What will you do for the rest of the night?
