I know.. but I'm not the only one feeling it. Moon is, too. And Aymeric... though the both of them are a lot better equipped to handle such difficult choices.
[ She. Isn't. Not by much anyway. Some she can- other times, like her and Alphinaud not giving up on Estinien even when he seemed doomed... or even allowing the Scions at Ultima Thule...
She sighs. ]
... That reminds me, Moon told me what "of the Oceans" meant. I can't believe he'll wed you before your own mates get to propose. Heh.
Mmm. Perhaps my wish was heard— I only wanted for you to not be responsible for our deaths if it came.
I didn't want to put that burden on you and Gaius.
[ :( aibouuu. But onto a better topic... ]
You did tell me. He reacted to it so adorably when I teased. But do I have to challenge him to have you be Estinien of the Utakata as well or Aymeric have you as ... I do not know how Ishgardian unions work, exactly. Would you be Varlineau or de Borel?
He'll be so baffled. Hmmm, maybe I could be Megumi Yukimura de Borel-Varlineau, Radiant Matriarch of the Utakata— gods, that's such a mouthful. Which you lot usually are, mind.
I've a feeling he might balk at the thought of being in that kind of position of authority. Imagine calling him Gaius zos Baelsar, Emperor of Garlemald. yae would make him the Crown Prince, wouldn't it.
[ She's chuckling now. ]
And I thought Megumi of the Utakata family was a lot... though...
[ Her voice softens. ]
There's something about that name you should know, eventually. It's nothing great, but— I suppose if anyone ought to know it first, it should be you all.
He would either balk at it, or take it with pride. He is a garlean through and through. If anyone were to rebuild Garlemald from the ground up it should be him. Aye?
[ Also chuckling trying to imagine “Estinien yae Baelsar”. He would suck as a prince. ]
Tell me? You know all of the secrets of mine own name and previous titles.

Also he answered Gaius’ texts so now he can answer hers. ]
I saw these far too late. My apologies.
Has G’raha been subdued? I took Alisaie as far as I could.

I'm so glad you're you're safe. I didn't want you to suffer the thought of harming anyone like that again. I'm just so sorry. You all trusted us.

Forgive me. I'll be alright.

I forgave you before you ever asked for it. What else can I do for you? Do you need to come over?
