[ This is what Era had been missing those scant few days in the arena. She has grown spoiled over the past weeks by Aymeric's presence, so warm and comforting, and the absence of it was difficult. Coming back to their residence after a day of training and exploring, and then snuggling up to her companion's side...
A soft hum of contentment escapes her as Aymeric pulls her closer. Every part their bodies touch tingles with a warmth she can't put words to. It fills her chest with joy, while his arms bring her much needed security.
The only good thing about her missing horn is that it allows Era to press her cheek flat against Aymeric's chest, feeling the rise and fall with each breath more closely even if she cannot hear his lungs fill or heart beating away. Era keeps one of her hands over his heart to feel it beating away - a reassurance and comfort.
She loves Aymeric so fiercely that it's almost frightening. It is frightening, how quickly she went from loving him as she loves all her friends to loving him as his wife... But Era has a hard time feeling anything other than a bubbling joy about it.
It's more difficult to stay awake with each passing moment no matter how much Era wishes to continue enjoying her current position. Aymeric won't begrudge her her sleep, she knows, but that doesn't mean she wants to just yet.
The Warrior of Light knows a losing battle when she sees one, however, so Era finally speaks up: ]
I will see you when I wake.
[ With that out of the way she allows herself to - finally - drift off for a much needed sleep. ]
