[ Era averts her eyes, having trouble looking him in the eye despite how badly she wishes to just stare and take him all in. Reassure herself she hasn't forgotten the important things in his absence. ]

I could speak of Sohr Khai. Or perhaps the cat you inherited with your manor. The fact that you have a heart filled with wanderlust for all that it belongs to Ishgard and her people. Over dinner I asked your to join me on an adventure. [ She closes her eyes. Fiddles with the ring hanging from her neck. ] I remember the look on your face as I said it, and the moment you recalled the weight of your duties and obligations.

[ Era suddenly feels the need to move, and so she gestures for him to follow and she does. The inn is not too far. ]

Sometimes I regret asking. If you are anything like my dearest Aymeric then you likely felt guilt for that momentary desire. And it... hurts, to be offered some manner of freedom. To imagine it fleetingly, and then feel the bindings of duty bite back into your skin... Then guilt for thinking of it at all.

I disliked thinking I may have caused such a feeling in him.

[ A quick shake of her head. She doesn't even know if this Aymeric is listening to all her rambling. It feels nice to talk about this though. Cathartic, in a way. ]

My Aymeric was my best friend. Estinien as well, but Aymeric and I... For all of our differences we were so very much alike. I would visit him whenever I made time to visit Edmont.

I wrote him letters about some of my adventures. If Aymeric could not be there with me I thought letters might make him feel as though he were a part of them, however small. [ Era glances back, offering a small, amused smile. ] I did of course tell him to keep the details to himself, lest it cause Edmont undue worry.

The rest is nothing I want to speak of until we have privacy.

[ She falls silent then as they come to the inn, and Era makes sure Aymeric is still there before leading him to her room. ]
