[She's a little redder herself, offering him a smile. It was something she'd dreamed about, before their trip into the World of Darkness- being able to travel with him, to find an adventure together. After that, though- she'd wanted to help the Ironworks, to see if they could open those doors sooner rather than later. But events had intervened- Ishgard requesting the Scion's help, and then the ill-fated banquet…. And so, there'd been much less time than she'd have liked to devote to it.

And so that moment on Kholusia had brought that desire back- when she'd suspected strongly the truth that lay under the Exarch's hood, and the words he'd spoken had seemed to fit. A desire for the two of them to go a-wandering, and see the world…

She lets her smile soften.]

I'd be more than delighted to have your assistance! Thank you. [She nods.] It's a wonderful place. Not only for the beauty of the Crystarium, but- the hearts of the people. I wondered what I would find, coming here… and so many of those here have wonderful hearts. I… they asked what they could do, when we were about to make preparations to leave for the Tempest. I… I appreciated that, greatly. [She hums, thoughtful. The sin eaters are… probably largely dispersed, but they'll hardly vanish overnight. Besides which, there are the natural creatures.] Whatever assistance I can offer is yours. Of course! I think we ought to take a little time to recover, first. But I look forward to it.
