The idea of domesticity would definitely put his brain into hyper-overdrive for the next few weeks if anything. Not that he wouldn't want that sort of thing but 'normal' is still foreign and scary to think about.

He closes his hand firmly over hers, pressing their hands tighter together. He doesn't want to burden her like this. Not when they all have more than enough to worry about, but it's only fair that she knows. It would come back to her eventually.

"They want a team of SeeDs to infiltrate the Sorceress Memorial. By their intel, Esthar is hiding a secret none of us know about. If we accept, a SeeD from Galbadia Garden will also join the team."

It's not a lot to go on but the implications are enough to be alarming. Is Esthar hiding a darker secret about sorceresses?
