And so of course I do not wish to see you hurt. We do not even know the nature of this "punishment"... it could be as mild or as deadly as aught else. You are truly certain you wish to do this?
[as aymeric looks at roy with an expression that can only be described as "doe-eyed", his eyes glow and burn a bright blue, enough to glow in darkness, and he touches roy's cheek again]
Whatever succor you desire after all of this, I will give freely. I swear it. Aught you need, you need only ask.
[He can't be imagining this, right? Even if Aymeric said they were just friends, and-- he already had Estinien, and Megumi? Surely he didn't want more...
Roy, despite his better judgment, puts a hand over the one Aymeric has against his cheek - holding it there a little longer. In a forcibly light tone,]
Maybe I could've even been a knight in a different time.
[There is no change in the airy smile of Roy's expression. The only hint that he felt anything at all is his breathing - it had simply stopped. He couldn't relax his chest to exhale, because that tension was the only thing keeping his heart rigid and in place. It was not allowed to start bleeding. It didn't deserve to break over something like this, not in front of Aymeric.
He'd stay smiling for him.
Roy's eyes flutter before his grin widens and he lets himself up with a casual shift to his feet.]

Yeah. Of course.

All the more reason you should not have to suffer when you have already endured so much...!
Re: day 14
I know I've come back from worse. ...The worst isn't physical, anyway.

Re: day 14
Then I'm glad I have friends to help me recover.
[Ha ha what can they possibly do, kill my daughter AGAIN?]

If I need painkillers, don't let me near the clinic. No morphine and no booze. Healing magic is probably the safest.
Re: day 14
Understood. That, I can readily provide.
Re: day 14
I know. You've always been good with that.

aymeric smiles sadly at roy, clawed fingers gentle at his cheek]
... is there truly naught I can say to convince you to reconsider?
Re: day 14
Mind's made up. Sorry to say.
Re: day 14
One cannot gainsay your convictions...

Re: day 14
... I daresay you would make a fine knight.
Re: day 14
Oh no, I would've disgraced myself immediately.
But then some dumb act of valor would get me back in the knight commander's good graces again.
Re: day 14
Is that so? Hmm, yes, I can imagine that. So long as this knight commander is overly fond of boisterous bravery and valiance.
Re: day 14

Certainly no knight commander...

Re: day 14
I... should not keep you any longer.
Re: day 14
He'd stay smiling for him.

Then I'll see myself out!
Re: day 14
Pray take care.
