True, the airship was vast, its streamlined shape reminding Ashe rather vividly, rather uncomfortably, of those of the Archadian fleet prior to Dalmasca's restoration. However, aboard those she had been a prisoner whereas now, she and the others of similar status were surrounded by every luxury Regent Cid could offer.

Thinking over the meeting helped to divert Ashe's attention away from the fact that she was eight months pregnant and frequently struggling to find physical relief from the pressures of her growing baby. Now was not such a time; all within was still and the princess felt quite refreshed. Her attention then turned to another, more welcome diversion - Rasler, her prince and husband, as they continued their slow, exploratory walk. With luck, she would not be made to face Vayne again during the flight.

"The Regent intends to return us to Alexandria within the next day," she explained, speaking softly, reaching for Rasler's arm. "I must admit, I shall welcome that."

A slight tilt of her head and Ashe was smiling gently up at him, aware that the swell of her stomach was such that it tended to sap her sense of balance and energy both. Rasler had good reason to be concerned, though the princess knew better than to push herself. "I will be cautious," she replied equally as quietly, a soft squeeze of his hands between them to reassure. "While I may be... challenged, I feel able, still."

An unusual feeling of being watched began to rise in Ashe, though she hadn't yet taken her eyes from the reflective ones of her prince.
