[Stalwart faith. A heavy thought, though not an inaccurate assessment of her person. Many who have perceived her actions would not label them thus. That Aymeric is capable of seeing what she was trying to do, all that she intended and aimed for, even forced to horrid means...
He hardly knows her and yet simultaneously, it's as if he knows her far better than so many of their fellow kin. She can only eye him, doubtlessly tired, uncertain, wary, sceptical, and drawn into a momentary bout of speechlessness.
She does not accept praise well. Or recognition. Her desires had nothing to do with legacy. She never wanted to be a hero. She never wanted to be an example. She only ever wanted to do what she believed was the right course of action. She only ever wanted to protect the less fortunate.
So instead of words, she simply dips her chin in a subtle acknowledgement. An acceptance of his... kindness, if that's what she wishes to consider it. His words proceed, offer appropriate distraction and that too, she doesn't respond to with haste.]
He has made a similar offer. [He. Estinien, she means.] I have been apprehensive to accept. [For her own personal reasons, which are things she doesn't wish to put on Aymeric, Estinien, or any of the rest of their esteemed company.] I would travel with you all, provided that it will not be an imposition. To change your route to recover me seems burdensome.
