Aymeric and Leo are lucky to have found each other. Or perhaps it's not luck but some hand guiding things, though Ginia is not one who believes in fate and the like. She smiles as she listens to Aymeric talk, reflecting on her own experiences with love or what she thought it was.
Mostly she's not sure anymore. The love of a shinki to their god, of a vassal to their lord. Duty, devotion, loyalty, that she understands and that she doesn't. Once, perhaps all she had wanted was to serve and be praised for it.
Chris is her god, but not her master. They are partners, friends who watch out for each other. Their partnership began as something practical but it's strengthened into something more. Even if Chris rescinded her name, Ginia would still fight alongside and protect her.
Ebisu is her god, but not her master either. Her devotion is more familial, developed from respect and awe, softened into something more protective and nurturing, though at times Ebisu feels more the adult. So is her love for the rest of the Mi Clan. They are a family, they are many, they are one. Her gaze falls over to the three of her temple in attendance. She'd live for them and die for them without a doubt.
But what about romantic love, the kind Aymeric speaks of? Ginia looks at Kimi. She can't help the smile the forms when she looks at him, but she can't put her feelings for him to words yet. He's important to her, cherished, and she wants to be better, for him, for them. But love feels scary. Aymeric's words are so certain about Leo and it's what she wants, but...
Kimi told her she didn't have to rush. There is time yet to discover how she feels about him. Let things be a day at a time.
"You and Leo are truly blessed. I think it's wonderful you two found each other. May your love continue to grow. If one day all of this comes to an end, may you two be able to continue together elsewhere.
And thank you. I think it's helped me figure some things out too."
Ginia is a little teary-eyed as her message plays, but if there are any tears, it's from joy and being touched at how romantic Aymeric is.
