✮ (CAMILLA SAN GAME SO STRONG)
a kiss for a miss. || accepting
19. nose kiss
and camilla had always watched with pure adoration on her lips -- her little niece in the heat of battle, wielding a bow with EASE. she’s never been one to send children to war, but watching nina and seeing the abilities and skills she holds, she is proud. the way nina moves in battle, the way she will step out of an arrow’s path, the way she pulls her string back and releases, knowing well, her arrow will never miss.
saying she was proud was an understatement.
but there are small things nina does that causes the small cuts cuts on her cheeks, the bruises on her arms, the faint burns on her hands. it is a weakness, but also a strength. for a villager, for someone weak, one that is helpless, she will sacrifice herself, lower her blow to pull them out of the way. and gods does it make her worry -- and it is why after the battle, she pulls nina in and presses a kiss to her forehead, her cheeks, her nose.
“ gods, nina -- you should’ve been more careful. i understand that you want to protect them, but please, put YOURSELF first, my dear... i worry for you -- do not think it went unnoticed... you could’ve been killed... but, i -- i suppose i am just happy you are safe. ”
