#i go insane thinking abt it cause he asks this at a time when o'ravi is losing all her sense of self outside of the scions #her duties and obligations as a scion and all the world's expectations of her as a warrior of light are becoming her entire identity #her personhood has stopped mattering to most people- alphinaud and cid and herself included #but not to aymeric. never to aymeric #he's walked with her through hell and back and witnessed her suffering firsthand #never again can he see her as just the warrior of light #and lmao o'ravi was so caught up in....everything that for her this question comes outta left field #girl straight up *forgot* that she could want things for herself #she just stares at aymeric like a deer in the headlights for a second until that knight kicks down the door and boom conversation over #man. man i am rattling the bars of my cage #aymeric de borel #ffxiv
