[ Perhaps his words are too lofty and his promises too grand, but other than what he does with the Temple Knights, he has found that he needs goals to work towards to give his life meaning. Being told where to go and what battles to fight is all well and good, and he is glad to be doing his part to at least try and see this long war to a conclusion, even if he and many others believe they may never see it, but he has always been looking for something worthwhile to spend his time on.
Perhaps this is that very thing. Either way, he is resolved to defend and protect her whatever it takes. ]
Then go with me, you shall. I must admit that I do not wish to see us parted, as I have already grown used to your company, as I am certain you can tell. [ Again he smiles, and there is a light tease contained in it, but more than that, it is truly a genuine, warm smile.
If there are any overtones of ownership, Aymeric also finds he does not mind. He had ceased believing that he would find a partner of any sort, and if ownership comes along with obtaining that which he thought lost for good, then he will take it.
Truthfully, anywhere that she would touch would elicit a reaction, but there are several places upon his person that are more sensitive than others. She has, of course, discovered yet another one of them, and he finds himself asking without words that she continue what she is doing. In so doing, he finally meets her eyes, still lost in what can only be described as ecstasy, but it is with a startled jolt that he realizes her eyes are also red. Perhaps it is not the same shade of red as his own, but were not her eyes colored differently before?
No... A voice in his mind breaks through the heightened sense of euphoria that lingered and was only gradually fading as time passes. But he is too caught up in the swirling feelings brought on by her touches and her kisses to give that voice even a moment's consideration. His more reserved nature, and the nature that despises himself for what he is, will resurface in time, but while it is kept at bay, he intends to not waste a minute of this. ]
You are indeed, and as such, you are owed my protection and more. If you asked it of me, I would make a vow to you to defend you, whatever the cost. [ He may very well make such a vow even if she did not ask. These words ought to feel strange to him, but they do not, as if a voice from a far-off time is speaking using his mouth to communicate with her. Even stranger, he realizes that he does not object. ]
