[ It has been a very, very long time since Lunafreya has felt this safe, or warm, or happy... or all of the above, honesty. She's practically giddy, although it's near impossible to show it right now considering the circumstances, but to just have him so close and so willing to hold her in his arms, it's almost dreamlike. She'd often wondered what it would be like, growing up, what it would have been like had things not happened the way they had. Would he have come back to visit Tenebrae? She knows she would have gone to see him in Insomnia for sure, to be able to watch him grow and make friends... it would have been a wonderful experience.
Lately, she's found herself thinking about their arranged engagement as well. If that hadn't happened, would they have had a proper courtship? Would they have even... well. It's best not to think about it, probably. Those are scenarios that could never happen, and the past is in the past. The fact that he is willing to spend this time with her is all that matters now, and he is indulging her silly thoughts about a future with him. She's grateful for that.
His question has her opening her eyes, though, a thoughtful expression crossing over her exhausted features. She's... that question is one she's not used to. Usually, people are telling her where to go or what to do, or shoving papers full of lists of duties that need to be performed with people in armor and guns following her the whole way. Their people, her duty, his safety, and a whole lot of resistance against the Empire have ever only ever been her first and only priorities. But now there's nothing left other than his safety, and she has nothing to really offer him for that other than non-stop prayers to the Astrals. ]
I... just want to be with you. [ She ducks her head back down almost shyly, but she's smiling too, albeit a little nervously. Writing things down on pen and paper is so much easier than having to say them, despite her time in the public eye. So she hides her face in the crook of his neck again in an attempt to both hide how pink her pale cheeks are growing and to avoid seeing any sort of look of horror that might be growing on his face. ]
We could do anything, I don't mind. So long as I am able to remain at your side, that's all that really matters to me. [ She's enjoying those fingers in her hair, though. They ease her anxiety, and she closes her eyes again, her nervous smile turning far more content. Really... if she were a cat, she'd be purring right now. ]
