Turning to him when his hand rests on her arm, Aerith smiles warmly and shakes her head.
"Thank you for saving my life." In so many ways. Being kidnapped and thrown off course from a likely bland, loveless marriage had changed everything for the better. She still feels unsure about where they actually stand. The kisses they exchanged the night before had happened while they were both so keyed up and emotional that it was hard for her to tell if they same would be welcome now.
That doesn't stop her from bending low enough to kiss his forehead before she turns away to pour them both cups of tea and take the covers off the dishes.
"Do you think you feel well enough for something more than soup?" She passes his tea to him before stepping out of the way so he can survey what the galley sent up. Without thinking she reaches for a leg of duck, halfway finished before she realizes.
