[ She would be right about that--dull is really the kindest way to put it. Not that he would say as much to most, as there are many minute details to progress that cannot all be of the same grand fulfillment as the meetings with dragons. But...that did not necessarily make each step exciting.

Aymeric's brows raise at the offer, expression instantly betraying his interest. Truly, he is ever wont for an excuse to not only get out of the office but travel beyond Ishgard's borders, though it seems they are rarely available outside of the preludes of war. ]

To Dravania?

[ The last time he was there was...well, with the intent of meeting with Hraesvelgr. It is amazing how both it felt so long ago and like it was just yesterday at the same time. ]

I--

[ Words rarely fail him but the Rose does have a tendency to wrangle them away from him, albeit unintentionally. He glances towards the "to do" stack with a small amount of guilt, and yet... ]

--...I can hardly turn down an invitation from the Warrior of Light, especially when it comes to the safety of our borders.

[ That is the excuse he will give to the House, at least. Aymeric moves to stand. ]

I imagine this is a matter of great import that, as the Commander of Ishgard's military, must see to personally?

[Is Rose away of the commanding presence that she has? It’s quite possible, and if she is, she’s clearly using it to her advantage here.]

[She crosses her arms and smiles. Aymeric’s devotion to Ishgard is unchanging, which is exactly as why she frames it as she does. That is, something in Ishgard’s best interest.]

Nothing so pressing, but I’m sure that it would do the people well to know their leader is seeing to these matters personally.

[She takes a very deliberate glance at the stack of papers. It’s certainly a lot.]

Paperwork is well and good, but it’s important for people that you also be approachable.

[ Aymeric's eyes follow her gaze, knowing that the stack will only grow in size ere is return. Never ending, really. But her rapport makes him chuckle. ]

Ah, so this is, in part, a lesson in diplomacy for my own good?

[ He places a hand at his help. ]

Very well, I would loathe to fall out of practice. For the betterment of Ishgard, of course.

[ Aymeric makes a sweeping gesture towards the door. ]

My your leave, my lady. I shall dutifully follow.
