— ❝ SO THEN THE G SITUATION STARTS AROUND OCTOBER … and that’s shortly before the masquerade incident takes place. ❞ They’re intent and FOCUSED on their current objective : trying to make sense of the recent past , especially now that everything has come back to them and , therefore , have brought them inches closer to getting even more of the answers that they’ve so wanted to deduce. Rock music softly plays from their phone on a bluetooth speaker besides them , and they’re currently using dry erase markers & a whiteboard as a map and section for notes so there’s a visual to make connecting these far much easier. They uncap the red marker with their teeth ( it’s their own ) and drag it from a quickly drawn manor to a cluster of stick trees , speaking to themselves , ❝ And forest possibly invokes similar scenarios to that of the manor , so that means the manor and the forest could potentially be connected … ❞ They draw three question marks beside the line to show their uncertainty. And they stand back to survey their work , before a finger points to the left of the board.❝ So then how does G … ❞ A few moments of hesitance as they trail off , tongue in cheek , before they cap the marker and look down.❝ Excuse me - but do you think you could graciously pass me that blue marker right there ?? I’d greatly appreciate it , if you’d kindly. ❞
it’s been awhile since edelle finds herself in zelda’s presence , but she finds that her intrigue is piqued . if anything , it’s reminiscent of her own endeavors against the church — to find out what rhea did . but she knows it isn’t the same ( right ? ) , as she doubts the city hall intern would do something as ... proactive . something as bloody and grim for everyone involved . still , edel hands them the blue marker as requested . “ that’s a lot of work , ” she comments freely under a casual guise . “ i have to say it is rather impressive . even if i don’t understand the context . ” she doesn’t have to understand the context to know it’s important . her lilac hues silently trace the connections made ; the g situations , the manor ... the forest ?
if edelgard didn’t know any better , perhaps she would suggest those who slither in the dark — though she knows how they work . they’re uncaring ; those who get in their way of gaining what they want suffer . that night at the manor would have seen more horrendous things than it had if it were truly them . however — a seed of newly acquired doubt sprouts momentarily within her : was she not the same in fódlan ? starting a war no one asked for , much less siding with them . no , she refuses to think of herself as the monsters who took everything from her and others like her . she had a greater purpose while they did not . even so ... it’s an uncanny parallel that leaves her uncomfortable as her blank stare never leaves the whiteboard .
she clears her throat then , suddenly pulling herself from her stupor with a faint shake of head . “ i apologize . i ... have a lot on my mind . ” she thinks back to her own disguise as the flame emperor , and she hesitates . “ what if this g person is going under an alias ? i have heard many rumors involving them , yet everyone seems so convinced the letter g has anything to do with their real identity ... ” edel pauses , “ but i guess that’s my own theory in trying to figure out who they are . ”
