Let's you have to carry out an assassination but you unfortunately happen to be sick that particular week. Who would you hire to do the deed in your stead: Dorothea, Petra, Felix, Caspar, Raphael, Jeritza or Yuri?

Overlooking the fact that I oversee a full force of assassins that I might send... Dorothea, Caspar, and Raphael are immediately out. Not because they are not capable, but because there is a brightness in them I wish to preserve. Felix and Petra are solid choices, but I would likewise rather they were spared the burden. They have endured enough.

The natural choices for someone to take my place in the role are Jeritza and Yuri. They are familiar with the task, and I often find them working in the shadows where I tend to our cause as it is. I am confident they would handle such an assignment deftly and for a fair price. Likely a favor in Yuri's case, and presumably nothing at all for Jeritza. Rather, nothing beyond his normal pay from the Empire.

We have an understanding between us that few others share, and I'm certain we would agree that is for the best.

What would you say if Felix proposed to you?

Uh, yes? I mean, if he did, obviously I would say yes. You’d have to be crazy not to. But that’s a pretty big if, you know?

[askhubertvonvestra]

Hey Hubert got any embarrassing stories about the former Blue Lions?

There are only a few that are not common knowledge. I assume all of Fódlan knows of Dimitri and his culinary interest in the weeds at Garreg Mach. I’m not typically one for gossip, but if it will appease your need for it, I can indulge the one tale.

As usual, Felix was going through his regimen on the training grounds while Sylvain watched on from the sidelines. He was feeling particularly spiteful that day, it would seem, and approached Sylvain where he flirted with a girl in the stands. After a resounding and habitually empty lecture, he took Sylvain’s canteen and drank directly from it.

He must not drink often, because he spat the alcohol back out at Sylvain, and both of them wound up disciplined by Seteth for conflicting accounts of what truthfully transpired. Sylvain, for having alcohol on the monastery grounds outside of a festivity. Felix, for being involved in the dispute, although the precise order and nature of events was unclear through multiple retellings.

Imma go steal Felix

I’m gonna step in and protect you from yourself here: that’s a horrible idea. 

You wouldn’t even have to worry about any of us coming after you, which we would, because you really wouldn’t make it that far. It’s not like you’re stealing a vase. This is Felix. He’s going to fight every step of the way with anything he can get his hands on. At that point, we’d be rescuing you more than him.

Or, wait, did you mean steal him like make him date you instead? Because that’s... Just hilariously wrong. You don’t know him well if you think that’d ever work.

[asksylvain]

Sylvain. You’re a Father now, a father to a litter of 5. -Felix

Make it six! I got a kitten for you, but I guess all these beautiful fur babies are ours to love and nurture now. Oh, Felix! Just look at our darling new family!

[asksylvain]

Sylvain, I heard strange sounds coming from your room when you invited Felix over last night. It sounded like you do were doing a very intense training. If you two have any kind of special secret (with training), would you help me out with mine?

Oh, wow, this is embarrassing... We weren't being that productive. Or at least, not like that. I just invited Felix to my room to help me clean it, and the day got away from us. With the war and everything, the state of my room has gotten really out of hand. I'm too stressed to deal with it all alone, you know? So I got the guy I trust most to get the job done.

With me, of course! I'm not Hilda.

We moved all the furniture, cleaned it and underneath it too, then we had to go and put it all back exactly where we found it... Let me tell you, we were really thorough. Nighttime probably wasn't the best time for it, so I'm sorry if we woke you up.

To pay you back, why don't I help you with your training? Felix is always so busy with his, so it's probably better to just leave this to me. Don't worry, I'm a fantastic teacher! I don't have any secret techniques, but I'm sure I can help you get more from your training.

[asksylvain]

Yes Slyvain I want more cute Felix childhood stories. I won't tell him ok.

I trust you'll keep the secret! Our parents knew each other, so we’ve been friends basically since we could walk.

He was a lot less brazen as a kid, and I was just about the same. It didn’t take long at all for him to start following me around on all the adventures I’d get into. Even when he thought they were stupid! 

I don’t remember how old we were... I was ten, maybe? That would make him about eight. But this one time, I wanted to cross this river in the woods by his territory by hopping on the rocks instead of using the perfectly fine bridge a little ways down. I mean, where was the fun in that? Of course, he made it across just fine and I slipped and fell into the water. With the current, it didn’t take long for me to get pulled downstream faster than Felix could keep up with on foot. Scary, I know, but the cute part is coming!

I managed to get myself out of the river, since it wasn’t exactly the first time something like that had happened, and I ran back to him as fast as I could, soaked and leaving half the river behind me as I did. And when I finally caught up to him crying at the river’s edge, you know what he did? 

Leapt to his feet and punched me. Over and over, actually. He kept yelling at me for how stupid and clumsy I am and how worried he was, and it was pretty cute to see how worked up he was. Like I’d give in so easy when he’d clearly miss me so much! 

Oh, how could I forget? A year or two after we first met, Felix and I took a rare moment to breathe and sat down on a couch in his father’s study. Just like that, he fell asleep leaning on my shoulder. I didn’t want to break the spell by moving or talking, so we got to sit like that for a while before Felix woke up and made me swear not to tell his father or Glenn. And you aren’t either, so I’m still keeping my word!

[asksylvain]

uh Felix told Kirby "Go away, you're being a nuisance" (exact words) so you can imagine how hurt Kirby's feelings were. He's only a baby after all "Poyo!" *eats cake whole*

Hey, you shouldn’t take that personally! He does that to pretty much everyone. Even his sisters! Uh, some more than others. Look, Kirby can stay here and drown his sorrows in cake, which... I’m not really sure how he eats it in one whole bite like that. But if it works, it works! 

You and I know Kirby’s not bothering anybody, and Felix, he’ll come around. Probably. Let him get some training in, maybe realize that Kirby is the best person for pawning sweets off on, and he’ll warm up to the little guy eventually.
