@shealfa.

' ... ' Silence; Felix has been quiet awhile, since they'd come to stand next to each other, as though they were trying to find something to say that wasn't — angry. As most thinks they said were, simply because of who they are as a person. ' Do you.... Know how to fight? '

@madefate ; [ injury ] sender cleans receiver's wound and patches it up / mercedes @ felix!

Embarrassing.

That's what this was; utterly embarrassing. Being wounded is one thing, but to be wounded to the point that ones needs attention like this? There was dirt in the cut, and it stung when Mercedes cleaned it. Not that anything right now could hurt more, sting more, suffer more than their ego. They huff and tut and wriggle and whine the entire time, as though they were ungrateful, doing everything in their power to be done with this embarrassment.

' Isn't that enough now? ' Felix stared at the fresh bandages, gritting their teeth. ' Can I get back to training? What a stupid mistake, you'd better not tell anyone about this... '

It's at that moment they realize how... well, hostile they're being. Mercedes didn't really deserve that, did she? No, not at all. Argh. Felix bristles up and coughs, clearing their thought rather deliberately. ' I mean. Thank you. Or whatever. '

anonymous ; to Felix | If I don't make eye contact they won't challenge me to a sword fight....will they?

' Tch... it isn't like that's all I'm good for. ' It is, however, what Felix most commonly asks of people — and now they're sighing and crossing their arms and rolling their eyes.

@maligns. starter. @ sylvain.

' Don't look at me like that. ' Felix huffs, disgruntled a touch more than usual ; they frown, too. ' It's your fault I even got hurt in the first place. Why should I stop training just for a stupid idiot? '

"there you are. were you hurt? what happened?" from byleth to felix! (@chrissysroleplay)

The worrying is the worst part, they think: it's annoying. Simple as. It says something about them that a normal, honest reaction to something is annoying but that's Felix in a nutshell, really — no intent to die, no need to worry, and if the worst happened, who cares? As long as they didn't die for some pointless goal: as long as they weren't lauded some kind of hero after the fact, pointlessly worshipped for the greatest sacrifice. Shifting, Felix presents their arm. There's a small wound on the forearm, looks like they caught a sword or something. cutting clean through their uniform.

——— ' Getting hurt is what we do, Professor. ' Felix pulls their arm back and rolls their eyes. ' Worry over something worth worrying about, like why we even needed to stop yet more bandits for the church. '
