I nearly forgot that I had recorded what was SUPPOSED to go here (posted this at like 1am please forgive me tumblr gods) so I will now clean that up for your perusal! For reference, this is both the “they just found her” and the “oh she’s awake now” scene, mostly through dialogue, with a little barrier text to help understand the scene better. It’s also hella casual and has NO sense of first/second/third person. I wrote these in discord dms between me and my friend at like 5 in the morning LMAO
For those wondering, mentions of Yuri X Sylvain ARE in here. I am shameless. I like when the two cute boys end up together. Oh and there will obviously be some discrepancies, maybe a bit OOC for them, but please just withhold your disbelief. The more I yap the more you’ll see why they’re like this
There’s a bit of a joke amongst the students of Garreg Mach that Professor Lucrezia ‘glows’ and people often just chalk it up to it being a trick of the light. That is until five years after the incident at the academy that made then lose her that they realize it was NOT in fact a joke. She does in fact glow (like a claimable item in Zelda, i imagine she even does the Da-Da-Dada!!!! Sound when Dimitri picks her up LMAO).
The people who find this out PERSONALLy are the three people who went out searching for her (and found her) one day, that being Mercedes, Sylvain, and Dimitri. Sylvain was complaining (loudly), “If only the Professor *actually* glowed in the dark, this would make looking for her so much *easier!”*
(Insert Lucy floating face down in the river and ACTIVELY glowing like a heart vessel)
Mercedes, Sylvain, and Dimitri, all looking at each other then looking at Lucy’s body, then looking back to each other; “Sylvie you spoke too soon.” “I DIDNT KNOW SHE WOULD ACTUALLY BE GLOWING?!?!?!?” “Enough, we need to pull her from the river.”
(As soon as Dimitri picks her up the glowing fades away)
“She’s not dead right? Like, we didn’t just watch her soul leave her body, *right?”* Mercedes punches Sylvain in the arm while Dimitri checks for a pulse.
“No, she still has a heartbeat.” “Oh thank god.” “But that *doesnt* explain what the glowing was about.”
“You guys… you don’t think it might’ve been the Goddesses blessing trying to make her easier to spot, right? RIGHT??????” Dimitri and Mercedes share a knowing look.
“Am I being left out of something here?” “Yes. Now help me carry her, she’s soaking wet and weighs triple what I’m used to.” “TRIPLE?!?!” Are you calling her *fat* Dimitri?” “No! Gods no, of course I’m not.” “Mhm. Sylvie?” “Listen, Your Highness, you NEVER comment on a ladies weight. Like ever.” “I understand stand that-“ “And yet you still called her fat?” “I *didnt call her that-*”
“I was simply saying she was heavier than I’m used to her being.” “Oh so she’s fat?” “If the both of you don’t stop this nonsense I will have your heads.” “Oh but if you killed us you wouldn’t have help to carry her.” “I’d manage.” “SO YOU DONT NEED MY HELP!” “I do.” “Uh huh, sure, Mercie do you hear this? His Highness has finally decided to end my life because i can no longer service him because he wont admit to calling the professor fat.” “I did not call her fat!” “Dimitri you really should watch what you say about the professor, what if you make her self conscious?” “I didn’t call her fat you imbeciles! She’s soaking wet so she’s heavier than normal.” “Dimitri, your *wording.”* “Ugghhhhhhhhhh”
“You both make me wish I had never been born at all.” “Oh cmon Your Highness, if you were never born you’d have never met the Professor!” “…” “You wouldn’t have met us either.” “That’s the goal here.” “Oh so you’d want to live to meet Lucrezia but be dead when you meet me? I see how it is, I toil away every single day working to make you a man worthy of Lucrezia-“ “Sylvain halt your tongue-“ “-and this is the thanks i get? Teaching you how to flirt and you tell me you’d wish wed never meet again? You’re such a cruel mistress Your Highness.” “You make me should like I’m evil.” “MERCIE!!!!!! You hear this??” “Dimitri you shouldn’t tell Sylvain how much you hate him it’ll make him cry.” “Wait a second.” “”And if he cries that means you’ll be hearing from Yuri, and do you really want to hear Yuri complain again?” “Wait Mercie don’t tell him that-“ “I’d rather not put up with any of you complaining to me. But if it had to be anyone id rather it be Yuri.” “Wait a second so *Yuri* gets a pass but I don’t-“ “And Dimitri, if Sylvain cries that means Yuri will probably kiss him to get him to stop. Do you really want to see that?” “HANG ON MERCIE STOP-“ “I don’t care what you fools get up to in your free time but keep your philandering out of my sight Sylvain.” “HOW AM I THE ONE CATCHING ALL THE STRAYS HERE????!?!?!?!”
(Lucy is on the riverbed, still dead asleep, starting to shiver from the cold while they bicker)
“HIS HIGHNESS CALLED THE PROFESSOR FAT-“ “And you’re a little crybaby Sylvie I don’t see how those two things overlap.” “Mercie!!!!!” “Oh cmon you know i can’t resisting teasing you both.” “You both make it out for me to be the villain but it’s Mercedes who ends up controlling everything.” “Never doubt a woman’s ability to manipulate people Your Highness~” “ugh.” “Okay ENOUGH let’s get the professor out of here.” “Now you’re finally making sense Sylvain.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “You’re usually spouting nonsense and making yourself out to be a fool.” “HEY!” “He’s right Sylvie you really should shut up more often.” *HEY!!!”*
Lucy, finally waking from slumber; “Where the hell am i…?”
All three of them unison; “PROFESSOR?!?!”
“I heard this annoying ass bickering and walked towards the light and now I’m cold and wet what the fuck happened.”
(All three of them looking at each other, but most pointedly looking at Sylvain.)
“It’s too bright out here, someone turn off the light.” “Professor-“ “Hang on, i got it.” “Are you…?” “What?” “Your Highness you can’t possibly be serious.” “What?” “You NEVER take that thing off.” “Dimitri half of it is wet and knowing you it probably stinks-“ “What do you people take me for? A beast who doesn’t bathe?” “I mean….” “Dimitri you don’t take good care of your hair, what are we supposed to think?” “You think because my hair is greasy that I don’t bathe regularly?” “…” “You all seem to have less faith in me as a human being then i thought.”
“…Dimitri?” “I’m here professor.” (Whispered;) *”How did she recognize him…?”* “I dont know and i dont want to know. Sylvain, go get the stretcher while Dimitri is distracted.” “Got it.”
