♛ (Lol did I send you one of these yet?)

[[ufufufu not yet *w*]]

"Before... before everything happened, I had thought of you as nothing more than an ally, a fellow soldier of the duchy. I respected you for your strength and your devotion to the Grand Marshal, yet I knew little of your true character, aside from the few interactions I had seen between you and Edea. And then...

You found me once more, after I had lost everything. Everyone. After I had been resigned to an inevitable, forthcoming death, you tended to my wounds and brought me back to the duchy, back... to her. At that time, with the pain of losing so many important people still fresh, I withdrew, unable to abandon the empty notion of loyalty, yet not knowing how to proceed.

...And you remained with me. Showed me caring, concern, that I had not expected of you. That I had no longer expected of anyone, at that point. It was almost inevitable that I would grow attached to you, and wish to reciprocate that care that I had been so graciously shown.

I came to fear for your life, and the fear is only magnified as Edea's... condition... becomes more severe. That is the reason why, even with my injuries, I resolve to do all I can to aid you in this mission. I hope, through what little comfort my words and actions could have provided, that you can understand how much I care about you, that I would never wish for you to be alone... Perhaps, it is because I myself fear being left alone once more, above all. It is a selfish thought, I am well aware.

And yet... whenever we are together, there is an unmistakable feeling, almost a jolt... This, undeniably, is different from anything I had experienced in the past. I know I must curb my desires to treat you with more intimacy than before - I do not wish to distract either of us from the mission, especially given failure could mean your life, and remaining detached, removing personal sentiments, is the duty of a soldier in battle, but... this feeling only grows stronger by the day...

...My apologies."

♚

Send a ♚. Your character falls asleep on mine, I’ll reply with what mine does.

Einheria had lost count of the number of times Alternis Dim had knocked on her door in the past two years. At first, it had been mainly to inquire about her recovery, having so recently survived what would have been a killing blow, and his visits, though concerned, were short and courteous. Eventually, he had taken to remain a little longer, lending a sympathetic ear to her fears, offering any form of verbal reassurance that he could. But now...

Sitting on the couch before the fireplace, a blanket spread across her lap, Einheria listened silently to Alternis as he spoke, the dark knight's tremulous tone betraying the pain he tried so valiantly to hide. It seemed that Edea's condition had been deteriorating steadily over the months, with each outburst worse than the last. From his description, the valkyrie could barely recognize the shadow of that little girl whom she had once considered a sister. Had she truly perished, lost among her own madness and the blood of her friends and family on her hands...?

Momentarily lost in the sound of the crackling flames and her own painful memories, Einheria didn't notice Alternis had stopped speaking until his head dropped onto her shoulder, his breathing finally steadied in the merciful embrace of slumber. Turning, the valkyrie gazed at the young man's sleeping profile, before slowly reaching out a hand, brushing a strand of loose hair out of his face. With how much comfort and emotional support he had provided her over the years... It was almost pitiful how little she could do in return. She gazed down, clenching her trembling fingers around the blanket, just managing to stop a bitter laugh from escaping her lips.

And yet... After a long moment, Einheria turned back towards Alternis, her expression softening into a gentle, if pained, smile. If it was just warmth, and the reassurance that there existed someone in this frigid world who still cared deeply about him... She pulled the blanket around the dark knight's shoulders, before leaning against him, closing her eyes. I can still manage that, for you, were her last thoughts before she, too, drifted off into sleep.

If you could say one thing to my character’s face without any repercussion, what would you say? - Alternis stammered, gaze falling and arms folding awkwardly behind him. If he was going to say anything, now was the time, "Your eyes... Are kind. Hidden behind a sea of pain. I wish... there was a way I could help you.." He bit his lip and sighed, he simply was not comparable to the casanova's romantic lilt.

[[A-awwww ;w; aaa you make me ship them more and more every time they interact—]]
