The noble’s gloved hands gently clasp her own, and Anthea smiles gently in response as she deftly changes the subject.

"Of course I consider us friends, Maribelle. You and the rest of the Shepherds are like family to me, and the wellbeing of my family is important to me. If there’s something you want to talk about, I’m here to listen."

"I'm afraid I hadn't realized," Maribelle sighs, truthfully feeling somewhat misty again. "In that case, it wouldn't do to keep a secret on the basis of embarrassment. But I'll be clear right now; I genuinely wasn't crying when you came in!"

She nods and pats Anthea's hand. "I was feeling a hint weepy though, that much is true. The waterworks may very well come if I tell you what I was thinking. Are you sure you wish to brave it?"

"Perhaps I should be the one asking you that. Were you crying, Maribelle? I didn’t mean to startle you." Anthea inquires, chagrin apparent in her expression. "Is it something you’d like to talk about? I know we’ve all been through a lot, and sometimes it’s easier if you share it with people who care about you."

With a small smile, the former tactician reaches out, beckoning to the noblewoman.

"Anything you tell me will be held in the strictest confidence, I promise."

Maribelle pauses to put a hand above and below Anthea's offered hand and formulate her response.

"Your offer is very kind, and I thank you for the consideration, but I was not crying." Not yet. "And even if I had been, it most certainly wasn't negative. In fact--wait. 'With people who care about you'? Anthea, dear, is this your way of affirming our bond? Do you consider us friends?"

"Maribelle… are you feeling quite alright? Surely, you do realize you’re muttering to yourself…?"

noblemother

Maribelle spins to meet her company with a small, "YEEP--! How..." How embarrassing, how startling, and how quiet she was! Perhaps she could give Kellam a run for his money in the sneaking department. Quickly, the noble wipes all moisture from her eyes and replaces her shocked expression with a polite smile. "How surprising to see you here! I seem to do that from time to time, muttering to myself, don't I? Haha! Hahaha! Haha... You needn't pay it any mind. Consider it an odd habit, hmm? Did you need something?"

#sacrosanctified

"Now Maribelle, don't you mist up now. How embarrassing would this be, for someone to come in and see you this way? What would you tell them? 'I was thinking about how sweet my son is, and I simply couldn't contain myself'? Don't you dare..."

“Sorry to hear that, Ma. Lissa’ll turn up eventually, right? ’course I know how to make tea! Just how ya like it, too! Wait right here—”

noblemother

"I will remain here! ...What a sweet boy. If not for the unruly hair and downright thuggish mannerisms, he might be rather handsome..."

#xriest #it's ok I'm a little scarce because I'm trying to get myself to finish the game #I leave too many games unfinished. it's criminal

”Heehee! It’s just like you to do that, Maribelle! Manners, shmanners and all. And, great! I’d love your company. I’m in the mood for some biscuits, let’s talk some things over some tea, Maribelle!”

noblemother

"A wonderful idea! I'll make it just how you like it, so you wait here, darling. I'll be back in a snap."

"Milord's deltoid is as impressive as ever. Perhaps one of these centuries, he will realize everyone already knows about it and wear two sleeves for once."

xmedica

”Oh, I miss you too. And, nothing, really! I’ve been hanging around Chrom, Frederick and Robin recently. They’re quite fun! How about you, Maribelle?”

noblemother

"I've been dutifully mingling with the Shepherds, learning what I can of the lower caste, teaching manners here and there. Exhausting, to be sure, but they will thank me for my lessons later. Still, I would prefer to accompany you next time."

#xmedica #yes. bring me the lissas #I don't know what the maribelle situation is like but I don't think I'll go inactive for a while #I'm enjoying this already

"Er… no, it’s quite all right. I was just taken aback by the thought that you thought of my deltoids as, er, bulging. That’s quite horrific to imagine. Um. I’ll just… go get Lissa now.”

noblemother

"..............................Well...now that you put it that way..."

”Hey, Maribelle! How are you doing?”

noblemother

"Darling! There you are! I feel as if I haven't seen you in years! What have you been up to? I've been terribly lonely without you."

"A prod? You call a sock to the gut a prod, Maribelle?”

”On second thought, maybe I won’t get Lissa.”

noblemother

"A sock to the gut, Chrom? I was under the impression men liked having beautiful women comment on their musculature. But if I have truly insulted you, I apologize."

#fatedexalt #oh no this is to much........we've reached critical meme.........#have to change my name to memebelle.........

"Bulging d——" A pause. ”Should I get Lissa.”

noblemother

"And now you don't want to entertain me? Was it the deltoid comment? It was entirely in jest, you know. You wouldn't abandon me over a small, friendly prod, would you?"
