I know...

[ She chuckles quietly. ]

You do more than enough by simply being here and not leaping away in a panic, An Ehsk.

[ She smiles and looks up, touching his cheek. ]

You know you're part of my heart, aye?

[finalsteps]

I've improved on the jumping away in a panic, I would like to think.

[ Remember when he literally came to her room, and then jumped out of the window??? Yeah. ]

You are part of mine, as well.

[menphina]

[ You know she was READY to get down- but she chuckles and runs her thumb over his cheek before just watching him fondly. ]

... then I suppose 'tis alright to speak of this... I just felt you ought to know it now. Not that it changes things any. 'tis about mine given name.

[finalsteps]

Your given name? Are you telling me it isn't Megumi?

[ Fair enough, Estinien did not say his given family name for quite some time. ]

[menphina]

It is. 'tis mine name to address by those not of mine family. You recall that I grew up in Othard, aye? 'twas easier for my family to adopt a name more suited to the region. But I was born with another.

My birth name is Meihmi, of the Jomalah family. 'tis a name I would only allow mine mates to call me, through a reassured bond. The last person to call me such was my former husband.

[finalsteps]

... and you would trust me enough with this name?

[menphina]

Oh, Moon can give you his name, and I can't give you the name only mine family knows?


[ Squinting, but playfully. ]

[finalsteps]

[ His cheeks are pink, leave him alone!! ]

Every day it amazes me how much anyone here trusts me.

[menphina]

[ She's giggling, before she takes his face into her hands and looks at him lovingly. ]

Every sun, I give thanks that you and I met, Estinien. You've the kindest, bravest, most loving soul I've ever had the fortune of knowing. You love so deeply, you give so much, unasked...

You were my partner long before we were anything more. I don't have much else to give you for all you've given me... so if you would have this, then you may. You needn't call me so if you find it strange, though.

[finalsteps]

[ The tips of his ears are even red! ]

You said it was for your mates, and, it would not make me uncomfortable to call you so. But I would want it to be between us.

[menphina]

Once Aymeric knows... then you may. In private. 'tis easier to call me by the name everyone else knows in front of them, to not confuse them, aye?

[ She strokes his cheek gently. ]

I would not wish this name used so casually, either.

[finalsteps]

It will be kept close to mine heart, until we find ourselves together and alone, with Aymeric.

[ He kisses her forehead. ]

It is important that you shared with me this name.

[menphina]

[ Ear wiggle! And leaning against him to cuddle tight. ]

Thank you.

[ Squeezing!! ]

Stay with me awhile...?
