I suppose even we are allowed such a small luxury every now and then, hm?
[ When Noctis smiles, it makes a warm, pleasant feeling spread through her chest. She's only ever really wanted for him to be happy, and to see him smiling like that... now she knows that she has a new purpose here. To make him smile as much as she can, because after everything he's had to deal with at home, more than anyone Noctis deserves happiness.
She also thinks that their hands look nice like this, that they fit perfectly together and she's not sure if she ever really wants to let go of his hand period, even though she knows it's not physically possible to remain like this forever. Even still, she reaches to lightly take his other hand as well, slipping her fingers between his as her smile widens even further. ]
I'm trying... admittedly, I feel that most of the time I mostly get in the way. But no one has complained yet, so I have been fortunate in that aspect. Everyone that I have met so far has been extremely kind and welcoming.
[ Of course, she's got a new job now too -- to be at Noctis' side as often as he'll let her be. They've got a lot to catch up on, after all, and there's still that tiny shred of fear within her that they'll be ripped apart again. ]
I wish that had been the case, too. I would have loved to have been able to be with you at home.
[ She internally cringes at her own words, because she knows that probably came out wrong, but she's not going to try and stumble over them to attempt to fix it and make it sound... well, better, and so she decides to just go with it. ]
I... I also want to apologize for everything at home as well. For the Empire springing a surprise wedding on you, for Insomnia... for everything. I would give anything to go back in time and fix everything for you so that you would not have to be in such a situation. I know the weight of the world is on your shoulders right now, and if it were in my power I would do anything and everything to make things right again. I just... want very much for you to be happy, Noctis.
[ She would, too, if she could. To be able to go back in time and beg Regis to ignore the 'treaty' of peace, to not give up. To hide the prince and his friends until things smoothed over... but she can't go back in time and do those things, as much as she wishes she could.
His next words drag her away from her weighty train of thoughts, and she looks up at him again, realizing suddenly just how tall he'd grown over the last twelve years. When they were children, she was the one having to bend down slightly to be more at his height... now he's taller than she is, even while she's wearing heels, and the thought is suddenly extremely amusing. ]
I would love nothing more than to do just that. I want to hear all about your friends and your life, just... everything, really. Being here with you is a blessing and time that I do not wish to put to waste.
[ She smiles again as well, fighting the urge to shift nervously as she suddenly leans up on her toes and presses a light kiss against his cheek. ]
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to spend time with you, Noctis.
this is too cute i think i'm gonna die <3 <3 <3
