“I want to see you smile. To see you happy.“ ( idk just,,, alksdjf )

“I am happy,” she promises, urgent, for she cannot bear to be the cause of any misunderstanding between them. 

Her hands reach for him with a steadiness that is newly acquired because Deirdre has been taught to neither take nor want. But the allure of how they fit together had always been too great to deny herself. Sigurd was too charming and spoke too candidly of the kind of love she thought confined to the realm of fiction. 

Sometimes the only smiles she has to offer him are those marred by the harrowing awareness of a prophecy hanging over her head. The one Sigurd had still loved her in spite of. If only her beloved knew that he was the reason she could smile at all.

Affectionately, she nuzzles into the palm of a broad hand, “My happiness is bound up with your own. I am most happy when you are, my love.” Her heart could not possibly hold any more happiness than she already has, she thinks. Not without bursting.

“Thanks for your hard work today, Sigurd. I appreciate it.” Kiran flashed a sincere smile towards the man. “But ah, is there something you want to speak with me about?”

“Sigurd.”

Sigurd was popular. Sigurd was beloved. Sigurd was never without friends or relatives praising his charm and his warmth, which to Arvis seemed exceptionally abnormal in the otherwise cutthroat courts of Grannvale’s nobility. Even just watching him go about his day chatting up the other nobles in the country felt to the duke like a surreal experience. He had to be waiting for his father to come out of some meeting with the prince, or something along those lines --- Arvis himself had only just come out of a meeting with the king --- but his curiosity ( or was it envy? ) overtook him, and he found himself crossing the courtyard to meet him. Beneath one arm was tucked a Fire tome, within it a pair of letters. One was plucked out and held out to Sigurd.

“This is for your father. I trust you can save me the trouble of having to go all the way to Chalphy to deliver it for me?? What brings you to Belhalla??”
