Aya's grin softens to a smile as she watches and listen to the bulky paladin flexing his fingers, and words, trying to squirrel his way out from underneath the dereliction of duty she had playfully put at his feet.
At last she cannot help herself, leaning toward him she teasingly jabs his shoulder, "I think its because she likes the shy, stoic type, who's all like honey inside."Â That teasing grin of hers returns for just a moment.
"So don't worry about those other things, okay? Stop doubting, and wondering. This world has a way of not making any of us want to look back, doesn't it? The future is what matters. For you. For her. For all of us."
She leans back, smiling warmly to him as she draws in a deep breath, "I love having you two around, but I know what you two have is more important than that, now. You're a delight to watch, you know: its like happiness dancing upon tense little fingertips, wanting so badly to embrace, but afraid to. For silly little fears. Fear of the unknown. Fear of losing what you've always known, fear of what others will think. Things you should not worry about, but cannot help, mmmm? But, I know you'll find the strength, eventually." She giggles softly, her lips embracing a warm, happy smile.
She glances down for just a moment as she watches his reaction, "So do what you think is best. We'll appreciate your company, and hers, and what the two of you are together, even more. Still, more quiet nights like this would be nice, don't you think?"
