Private Iron Harvest

[Aldric Laurent]

Aldric stayed where he was, but reciprocated the hug as it was given. Neither of them wanted it to be over, but to rebuild things, they would need actions, not words. An embrace was a small, but tangible stepping stone. He sighed, and shut his eyes for a few long moments, remembering times before. A mental reminder of what he hoped to return to. And though he seemed to remain silent at first, eventually he brought himself to reply, "Love you, too."

It was soft spoken, and even a little bit strained, given the tumultuous events that transpired not a minute earlier. But he said it all the same. Finally he pulled back and looked out the viewport window, where the sun was beginning to set, "Looks like this box is gonna take some time to crack. Should probably just take it easy for the rest of the night and hopefully give Trask the good news tomorrow." He smiled faintly, and stood up.

Even though it was softer and still a bit strained, hearing him say it back already made her feel a lot better. It helped comfirm alonside the embrace that it wasn't all over between them, and while it would likely take some time for everything to be back to normal, important first steps were taken.

After a long moment, Valery finally pulled back from the embrace as well and turned to look at the sun setting with a gentle smile, "Hmm, that sounds like a good idea to me, babe." She shifted to get off of his lap, so he could stand up, and remained close to him for a moment longer while she looked up into his eyes. Finally, she flashed him a faint smirk and looked over her shoulder.

"I'm going to shower and get changed. Keep the bed warm for me?" She flashed a smile and gently traced her fingers against his chest before she turned around and left for the bathroom.
