Perhaps it is something we might find together then. [ She smiles and her tail sways against his leg slightly at the idea. ] We cannot have humorless lord in Ishgard when the rest is so dreary.

[ His apologetic look is simply met with a beaming smile. While her childhood may not have been good? The fact that his has been well means far more to her. It is best that one of them had a good childhood instead of both of their lives being so upsetting.

I may have never found you.

She answers him, but perhaps she merely thinks it as opposed to answering him out loud. She has drifted off as he notes, from merely him playing with her hair. How long has it been since someone brushed her hair? The notion alone is calming, but the fact he is the one doing it is what truly puts her at ease.

Her beloved.

The commotion doesn't stir her. She instead has moved more into his arms as she has slept, curling her tail around her, and her ears twitching. She curls against him further once the door has been answered. Moments later footsteps come to their door. Then, a gentle knock follows. Lantaa rolls to her side, hiding her face in his chest, but continues to sleep. ]

[ He is not typically one to lie about when there are things to be done or people apparently wishing to be seen, but he is so very comfortable in this moment and content to simply lie there with her in his hold that he remains still and with his eyes closed. Perhaps whoever has come will wait, or take their leave and return later.

When she hides her face, even while half-asleep, he reaches for her ear and gives it a sleepy stroke. If they could simply remain like this for a little while longer, he would have no complaints.

But the knock sounds once more, and Aymeric's only response is a slight frown. If the waking world would only wait... ]

[ Her ear gives a gentle twitch before she relaxes entirely against him even as she continues to sleep. A gentle whine comes from her in protest of waking at all. As such, she simply returns to sleep.

The knock once more gently happens before an older voice comes through: ] Ser Aymeric? Apologies, ser, but you have company...

[ The words register in his still sleeping mind, and slowly and very reluctantly, he stirs. He does so with care, so as not to disturb Lantaa, but it seems that the time for rest has ended. However, he may be able to move without waking her, and so she can sleep on.

He moves slowly, hoping to slide from the bed and away from her, although that is the last thing that he wants, eyes fixed on her, looking for any signs that he has disturbed her.

If he can manage it, he intends to cross from the bed to the door, speak with the steward, and then make himself presentable for whoever has come to visit.

As luck would have it, she remains asleep, and so he does what he needs to before leaving their room and going to speak with their visitors. He finishes exchanging the token pleasantries with Reid (because Estinien does a good job of appearing uninterested) when he hears the door behind him open and he turns slightly to glance at it. ]
