That has her looking at him, brows pinched. This cottage would be a distraction, the irresistible sort because he would be here. How could she say no to that? They faced the prospect of few days together. Lonely days that simple messages would be unable to alleviate. She'd thought it difficult the day he'd left with Jorah to sail north... and that was before all they shared together.
But they would, in some ways, be abandoning their people. Would they fight as hard for peace between the kingdoms? If more woke from stasis, and the lands were overwrought with tensions still... well, it wouldn't necessarily be a failure on their parts, seeing as they weren't in positions of power. Power could be earned, though, and a cottage between both kingdoms could be just enough to preoccupy them from that.
"I want you." She steps closer to him, weeds snapping beneath her feet. There's nothing she's surer about. "If this means I can see you more, then of course I want it."
