I just wish I could do more than simply sit and talk with people, but... there are extremely intelligent people working in the med labs to find a cure. I can only pray they do so before we have to leave.
[ She does pray to the Six that something can be done, because seeing people suffering and not being able to do anything about it hurts her, too. She's heard stories from mothers who have lost their children to whatever god forsaken disease this is, have held the hands of those sick and dying to try and provide at least a little comfort, to take away the fear of death and instill a sense of peace within them, as much as she can in such a situation.
When his hands move to her sides, and then she feels his arm around her waist, she can feel her cheeks heating up. They're not children anymore, after all, they were adults and had things not gone completely to hell at home, they'd be married right now. It's still a pleasant thing to think about, to be married to Noctis and to be held by him all the time, to be able to hold him in return.
The mere thought has her blush deepening, and she lightly rests her head against his shoulder for a moment to hide that little detail from him as she listens to his words. ]
Your kindness never ceases to amaze me, Noctis... I... had very much looked forward to being your wife. [ Her voice is slightly muffled against the poor man's shoulder as she struggles to get control over the heat in her cheeks again, but she finally forces herself to lift her head once more so that she can properly look up at him again. ]
But you did save me... and continue to do so by fulfilling your duty, as hard as it might be. [ Still, she knows it's time to drop that subject now. They can talk about duty and things about home later, after all. ] I'm happy to be able to have this time with you as well. Being here with you right now... I cannot even begin to put into words how happy it makes me.
[ She doesn't protest when he lets her go, though, as disappointed as she inwardly is to lose the contact. She won't push him, after all, and she merely nods her head. ]
Of course we can. [ Humming, she moves to stand at his side instead, looping an arm through one of his with a playful smile, hoping to lighten the mood once more. ] Come, we can walk and talk... I'm positive that there are far more interesting things to look at.
Noctis is the cutest dork she knows ok :>
