Jade:
Saunters with Jon up to the stairs of Tir.
"Ahhh yes, up here it looks like you can see the whole world." She gestures with her arms at the lands of Amber ending with them pointed at the sea.
She takes his hands again, "I know, I told you before but I really mean it. I am proud of you and Ariadne. That was such an accomplishment for the both of you. Please forgive me if I was worried seeing you walk those lines of the Pattern which I know can be lethal."
Jon follows Jade's gesture and nods. When she takes his hand Jon smiles and turns to face her, he lifts it up rest his other over top of it "
Jade, you never need to apologize for being concerned about me or any of our cousins." he removes his hand, leans in and gives her hand a kiss "
It was dangerous, draining, scary, but also exhilarating, empowering and humbling." he looks her in the eyes and smiles "
But, you, you are amazing beyond that. You walked the pattern without the fanfare or the concern and thoughts of those who care about you. Ari and I had you, Ballad, Janessa and..." grins "
Yes, even Lance. When we walked. We had so much support. But you, did it without all of that. Your strength of self, is amazing. What you've told me so far, you have overcome so much."
Jon pauses and raises one hand to gently caress her cheek "
You are caring, selfless, strong, intelligent and capable person. So thank you for your concern, while I am sorry I caused you worry, knowing that you care is important to me."
Jon then turns, still holding her hand "
The view is beautiful, the night and the stars look amazing, the world at our feet. But none of that compares to you, My Sea Princess."
