( Chiding him for the continual downplaying of his accomplishments for her, just because of where she comes from, would be the first thing on her lips if she knew in this moment. He is Clive Rosfield, and he saved the world; more than that he is blessed with a noble heart and the deepest love for all, and she is simply Jill Warrick. That he holds her in such high esteem is enough to make her feel unworthy of it, the blood on her hands only offset by the work she's done to ease the ghosts.
Jill shifts enough that he can move comfortably, though her brow creases slightly as he withdraws. She knows the urge, it's what she did, after all, so it wouldn't be fair to call him out for it. To keep him from doing the same. There is work to be done, yes, but it can wait just a moment longer now that the clouds have cleared and the danger passed.
Taking his hand, Jill presses his knuckles to her cheek, breathing in and out as she relishes the fact that he's here at all. )
Tarja will have your head if you think about working the moment you're back. ( A beat. ) As will I.
( She's just saying. As for what she'll do? Jill's eyes close, considering the options ahead of her. )
I want to leave the Twins. ( She doesn't give him any chance to but in, to assume that she doesn't want to do it alone. ) When you can leave with me, that's when we'll go. Until then -- I thought about going back to the North.
( The Blight might have destroyed all life there, in the place where she was born, but she wishes to see it once more. To say goodbye before leaving the Twins and venturing out. )
