ravus nox fleuret was a man known for many things, from his position in the imperial
army to the history of his missing limb, but one thing few may not know : he’s not a
very patient man. with news that the boats would not be returning until a day or two,
ravus was not at all ecstatic. the high commander retreated from the general and to
where the prince’s advisor stood, waiting. with the update of boats shared to ignis,
the advisor came to a decision to settle down and relax with coffee. though, truth
be told, he would have preferred tea, but there was little he could do. with the city
under fire by imperials, the chance of coming across tea was slim, and even then
he would not dare drink something found in rubble. he accepted the mug that was
handed to him with a thank you, however, he simply let the cup sit between his
hands as they began to converse. it wasn’t very long until their romantic life was
brought up, initiated by the advisor himself. the high commander almost laughed.
with an impending ruin creeping upon them, the man had not thought of settling
down or finding a long-term relationship. sadly, the high commander has never
bedded another neither. too engrossed with ending this meaningless war and
protecting the one thing that meant the world to him: lunafreya. to sleep or fall
head over heels for another was not as important. nevertheless, with the talk
of love... well, the high commander brought to mind that it was never too late.
true, his mind continued to drift towards his sister’s safety and if she were well.
but the idea of knowing the touch of someone else. a touch that was more than
a sibling’s gentle hand. one of wanton from that of another who was not family.
he wanted to know how it felt to be loved. even if it be little.
◟allow me to kiss you. if only once.◝ the words dripped from his lips with no
intent to catch. there was little to be lost. a kiss would be nothing compared to
what else could be done. that is the reason of his motive for asking for a kiss.
what he had not envisioned was the advisor spilling his drink upon himself.
