She took his extended hand with an air of self-possession, but once they were arm in arm, the man could tell how excited and nervous she was by her tight hold. His voice tickled her ear, and she could not help but let a small grin play along her muzzle and felt her skin heat up around her face in an innocent blush. "You don't look shabby yourself. Looks fit for a king," he managed to whisper back before they reached Aro. When they had reached the young man, they had released each other, but Alyssum remained close to his side, allowing her shoulder to brush against his arm subtlety every now and then.
She listened to Aro's speech with both patience and impatience. While she hung on every word, the memory of this event never to be forgotten by the woman, she also somehow wished for its ending to come swiftly, for her and Jazper to be officially united. She paced herself in mind, though, and used Aro's words to distract her mind that was lit with so many burning thoughts. Again the blush glowed her cheeks when the Knight spoke of her do highly, and she felt even them getting hotter at the mention of a litter--or two, he had added. Her already fluttering heart started to skip some beats, and she could not quiet the meek, small smile that colored her face as she glanced towards the ground shyly.
She only lifted her gaze when it was time for them to speak, and looked at Jazper as he spoke. With each word that was said, with each promise made, she knew that she was making the right choice. Skye was indeed on her mind, but in the far reaches of it, a mere buzz among the chorus that echoed within. There will be time for her later, but as for right now, all the Alyssum was concerned about was the man before her, and the deep love she had for him.
His words slowed to a stop, and the woman allowed a moment to pass, for the words to truly sink in and to be taken to mind, to be remembered for a very long time. When the time for her to speak came, she felt nervous, but it was to be expected, so she did not hesitate. "Jazper, I promise to love you without restraint, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve all of your goals, even when they seem far-fetched, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind, and spirit, and to always be open and honest with you. I cherish you the most, and that will never change, no matter how long either of us shall live. I'll never let you go, no matter what." With that, her pale hand sought for his own, and held it gently when she got of a hold of it, staring up at the man with pure happiness.
